What are your least favorite things to shop for?

[bbforpp]

Shoes

Clothes. It’s so boring and most of the time I end up just feeling crap about myself.

Hate getting petrol

Jeans
Food unless at a market on holiday

Presents, if I haven't been given a list. I get paralysed with indecision and fear the person won't like the gift.

Bikinis

Food shopping - absolutely hate having to think about what everyone will eat all the time!

Years ago, it was the annual school uniform/shoe shop. Every summer I'd have to take my 3 boys to try on school trousers etc and buy school shoes and trainers. Was stressful and really expensive!

The other thing is shopping for an outfit for a particular occasion - I feel the pressure to find something and I'm never sure it's the right thing - for other women it seems so effortless. They always seem to have just the right lbd or accessories or that perfect smart/casual outfit!

Bras. Now do it online. Had enough of having to sit on the floor to get to my size!

Also hate clothes shopping so do it mostly online. Had enough of having to search for a label to see if it is bastard Viscose/Lyocell etc etc.

Bras.

Carpets.

Why is the whole thing so bloody complicated and time-consuming? It's just a bit of heavy-duty fabric that covers a floor.

Make up
I can never tell how the colours will actually look on my lips/ skin
Finally cracked jeans which are perfect ( I'm 58!)

Shoes. I have very wide, very deep feet with narrow heels. Also have t9 wear inserts in my shoes and to make it even more difficult my left foot is half a size bigger than my right.

Bras and swimwear. Every time I hope to be smaller but it’s never the case 😔

Jeans! I can never find a pair that I like and feel comfortable in. It's soul destroying.

Cars
phones
I pad

Jeans

School shoes for sure.. and all areas of uniform you’re not quite sure of the age range for maximum use..

furniture that I want to actually oast

cars - fuck me

presents for most men

Spectacles

Good

*food

Jeans (all the styles always change in-between me buying them so it's always from scratch)
Glasses (expensive, make my face look weird)
Bras (ugh)
Anything expensive and technical (just CBA to workout which one to get and I know it will instantly annoy me in some way.)

I do like buying furniture, paint, wallpaper, books, blankets and food.

Furniture!

Anything for an event in terms of clothes. Sends me scatty. I hate dresses but always feel I have to find one I like. Never have. I love shopping otherwise.

Appliances. Trying to decide which is the best washing machine when they’re all basically the fucking same

Oh god yes, kids shoes in clarks in holidays. Fresh hell.

Our nearest outlet let's you jump the queue and sit separately if your child has SEN. But it's still a fresh hell. They never have the right size. The measurements never seen right, they are too expensive. Too many hyper kids and stressed parents all crammed together

Filling the car up with petrol

An outfit for a special occasion when I need something specific or have something in mind. I love clothes shopping but I'm more spontaneous and it's when I need something particular and I can never find it
