HBO

Online shopping is a dangerous game. With website after website full of beautiful clothes, it's hard to say no to the shoes you're currently craving — especially if you find them on sale. And while you may think that buying whatever you need while staying in bed sounds ridiculously wonderful, there is so much you are missing out on when you take the easy route. So before you make this huge mistake again, read on for 23 reasons it's time to give up online shopping forever.

Online sales don't have the same energy and intensity as in-store ones

You can't clip digital coupons

Where's the fun in that?

It's too distracting when you are trying to work

Because shoes are always better than spreadsheets.

You miss the workout of walking around the mall

You don't get Fitbit steps when you're sitting in bed.

You can't wrap gifts for friends yourself

You Can't Try Things On

Like those bikinis that someone else tried on first.

Waiting in line is the best time to check Instagram

There's no better time to double-tap.

You can't check yourself out in changing-room mirrors

Wait, what size was this dress again?

Your friends can't offer advice

How else would you know to buy army pants and flip-flops?

You'll miss the workout of carrying your bags home

Because bicep curls have never seemed so stylish.

Your home mailbox will be clogged with surprise packages

Ugh!

You can never just have it now

Overnight delivery takes sooooo long.

You'll miss the chance to hang out with all the other shoppers

You never know who you might meet.

You miss out on the thrill of a great find

Where's the fun in just hitting the search button?

There's no chance to rifle through the racks.

You'll just have to do it virtually, I guess.

It's so easy

One-click purchasing is a dangerous idea, and favoriting everything you like is way too easy on ShopStyle.

You never get to save money because they don't have your size available

When they're constantly restocking, it's so hard to say no.

You'll miss all of the bad snacks tempting you to the food court

And grabbing food from the kitchen is just too easy.

Salespeople can't tell you how great everything looks on you

And you won't have someone following you around at home.

Online stores only take credit cards, so cash just sits in your wallet

You don't want a heavy wallet weighing you down.

You can't practice your parking skills in the mall lot

Darn.

You are up all night trying to find the best deal on those Louboutins

You already had insomnia, and now you've turned it into something productive.

You won't have an excuse to change out of your sweatpants

Who would want to stay in sweats all day anyway?
