One day my daughter and I drove about a half hour to get to the mall, walked in, full of teens...we turned around and walked out.
I don't think she's a beeper, she just can't take crowds. I can't take it either.

just so you know...just the thought of going to a mall makes me sweat.

I'm a major e-shopper.

Amen to that............

I think I'm sensitive to them but in a different way. It heightens my spirits and I can't stop smiling. I like the rush and push of the croud and the people milling about all around me. It makes me feel apart of something and soemtimes I feel big and important while other times I enjoy the croud swallowing me up.

along with bp I have:

Mallophobia!!!!

They make my skin crawl!

Loathe malls, if I have it my way I'll never go to one again in my life.

Hate them. Hate all large stores. Too overstimulating and depressing at the same time.

Yep, I have the same reaction to Walmart, Costco and Home Depot. My skin crawls and I can't wait to leave.

It can be for me. It depends on where I am in a cycle. I have a hard time in large crowds of noisy people anytime. My brain whirls and I get anxious. Hugs

Ah dom17.....try working in that HELL HOLE of ravenious screaming shoppers..blameing you ,because the store you work at ,is OUT OF STOCK ,getting screamed at...THAT"S BAIT AND SWITCH..(which in fact it is NOT bait and switch..it's being SOLD OUT)Everyday, after Thanksgiving is HELL for retail people.

And I promice ...all you mall shoppers out there...we sales associates ...do NOT go into work to purposly annoy you....we want to help you ,the best we can...while management ,dosn't hire enough backup help,or order enough bags to put merchandise in ..or my favorite(since I work in the fine china department)...corp ,didn't order us any tissue or foamies to wrap expensive crystal in.

So next time ,you are temptd to go bug out on a clerk(NOT you dom...you did the smart thing ...left!LOL!)
Remember ,we only work there,we don't order the stock,we don't dictate how many people there are to cover an area...be nice to your clerk,,,and they will move Heavan and Earth to get what you want(because ,everyone else is so mean...a nice customer ,makes our day!)
Happy Malling

When I NEED to buy something I know exactly what I want and am in and out in a flash, otherwise I feel drained and exhausted. Notice that the seniors go to the Mall in the morning...wise.

More sensitive to noise Yes,alot of other stuff to.

YES!!!

Free runs through malls like a fullback racing for a touchdown, arm extended to deflect tacklers, items tucked under his arm like a football.

I'm in and out faster than an over-excited high school kid in the back seat with his girlfriend at a drive in movie.

i hate crowds - good thing i declared bankruptcy and have no money... other wise id do online shopping...
