Speaking of shopping....
I don't really think this deserves it's own thread, but last night I stopped by the local mall to pick up a watch battery, and afterward the wife and decided to wander around a bit to walk off dinner. On the second level in an area of the mall we rarely go to is an Abercrombie & Fitch store. I was still a good 20 yards away from it when the smell hit. Seriously, what is that ****ing cologne/perfume stench? I noticed the same noxious odor at another Abercrombie store in a different mall a few months ago. Good God, it's horrible. Obviously, since I'm not a 13-year-old girl who wants to look like a 20-year-old prostitute, I don't shop there, but how on earth could anybody find that smell appealing? If I worked somewhere near that store and had to smell that every day I think I'd firebomb the place. Yuck.
It seems so ironic that a store with a name that sounds like a stodgy English law firm sells that kind of clothing and smells like a French whorehouse.
