Let me tell you of the worst shopping experience in human history. It was in the Abercrombie & Fitch store in Manhattan where my girlfriend insisted on going.
Firstly, standing in the entrance is a topless black guy for some reason. Then when you get inside the store is more like a night club than a shop. It’s so dark that it’s impossible to tell when the clothes look like. There are spotlight type lights coming down from the ceiling in front of the mirrors if you absolutely must sort of see what they look like in daylight.
The music is uncomfortably loud, i.e. as loud as a night club. You have to shout at people for them to hear you.
It was so packed that people kept bumping into me. Imagine the dance floor of a night club but spread across 3 floors and with people milling about to find clothes.
I honestly think that they pump perfume into the air. The entire place stank of it. It was so bad that I kept coughing because it was hurting my throat.
So to recap:
1. Its too dark and has topless men about the place
2. Its extremely loud
3. The place stinks of perfume so badly you can taste it and can’t breathe
4. People keep bumping into you
So basically it’s offensive to all five senses simultaneously
The final straw, where I told my girlfriend I’d wait outside until she finished was when the following song started blaring:

Yes, that’s right. I got Rick Rolled by the Abercrombie & Fitch store.
Does anyone agree with me about this store? Should it be added to the axis of evil? or maybe they should send the terrorists there instead of guantanamo? after ten minutes i would have told them whatever they wanted just so i could breathe again
