Married couple at a mall

Shocker!

19th Dec 2012, Melbourne

Scenario:

Husband and wife with a baby stroller shopping around the mall. Baby was asleep and daddy was pushing the stroller while mama was toooooooo and way toooo busy looking at discounted and 1/2 priced items.

Husband: Darling! You know, all the shopping and new clothes that I bought today, I will wear it all within these 2 weeks. Don't know if its enough or not?

Wife: (Silence and too busy rummaging thru the racks, didn't even bother to reply with a ''huh!'')

Husband: Darling! Did you hear what I said? Do you think...(stops and got fire spat by wife verbally)

Wife: What?! Can't you see I am shopping. (Turns back to the rack and continues going thru the rack but  
          with an annoyed movement of speed shifting of hangers.)

Husband: (Puppy face, sad face, looks down on the floor and seems lost)

Me: Urgh...walked a bit further...but I was curious and nosy ahhahaha

5 minutes later...(yes the row of racks were pretty long).

Husband pushes stroller towards his wife 20 meters down.

Husband: Darling! Do you really want me to just push the stroller and follow you from behind while you look at things? I also want to buy stuff and look at things.

Wife: Continues to ignore.

Advise:

A man might generally be known to not like shopping and walking up and down the rack aisle and spend hours just browsing for stuff to buy. Hey! There are times just not as frequent, that men also do want to shop and browse and do all that girly shopping shit we females do too. Like trying on clothes, new styles, mix matching, seasonal outfits and so on. They can take longer at time.

Wife, if you want to shop and deny your husband the right to shop, then please don't bring him along. Unless you two have agreed that one person will just babysit or sit at a cafe/ foodcourt. How would you feel if you were treated that way? Imagine Victorias Secret 10 meters away and you are stuck in a outdoor gear shop and your husband wouldn't let you go alone or even want to be in there. Be nice and be considerate.

It was pretty embarrassing for the man IMHO. I feel for him and his shopaholic wife who looked like she didn't shop for a very long time.

The couple were definitely Malaysian or Singaporean.
