20 Struggles We've All Experienced While Shopping

Mar 13 2016 - 1:30pm

While some people refer to shopping as a sort of therapy, pushing and shoving your way through a store can often be downright stressful [1]. Even the alternative of ordering online can be a bit of a struggle: filling out all that info, waiting for your package to come, and then realizing the clothes don't even fit? Ugh. The worst.

So to vent our frustration — because yes, even avid fashion-lovers get annoyed — we've compiled a list. Keep reading to see some of the biggest pet peeves we experience while adding to our wardrobe. We feel your pain.

Being Approached by Annoying Salespeople

No, we don't need help. We're very much capable of dressing ourselves, thanks.

Or Being Unable to Find One When You Need Them

How will we ever reach that top shelf?

Dealing With Large Crowds

Elbows out, elbows out! Haven't these people heard of personal space?!

Feeling Overwhelmed by All the Clothes

Nope, sorry. We literally cannot.

Or Realizing Nothing Is Organized

Please don't make us dig.

When Your Order Doesn't Look the Same as It Did Online

How can you sit there and lie to us like that?!

Ordering Your Exact Size and It Still Doesn't Fit

It must be opposite day, because there is no way that this is a medium.

Having to Listen to Bad Music in a Store

Make this stop! Our ears are bleeding!

Seeing Your Reflection From Every Angle

We're willing to bet no one looks good in a fun-house-like mirror room.

Waiting in Superlong Lines

Self checkout, anyone?

Forgetting Your Online Account Information

Doesn't recognize username? We use the same username for everything!

Being Asked If You Want to Become a Card Member

Hmm . . . 15 percent off, huh? What's the catch?

Trying On a Ton of Clothes and Realizing Nothing Fits

There aren't enough words for the rage we feel right now.

Going Shopping With Judgmental Friends or Family

You know nothing about fashion! This dress is amazing!

Having More Knowledge Than the Salespeople

What do you mean, you don't carry that item? We just saw it online!

When You End Up Buying Everything but the Thing You Needed

How does one go into a store for pants and end up leaving with five tops?!

Or Just Feeling Buyer's Remorse

This was not wise.

Spotting a Similar Item For Less Postpurchase

Nooooo! How did we miss this?!

Waiting Too Long to Buy Something and It Sells Out

But . . . but we were saving up . . .

Loving Something and Realizing It's Way Too Expensive

This can't possibly be the price of a t-shirt!
