i always shop by myself. i enjoy taking my time in the stores i want and trying things on. i am a pretty fast walker/shopper and get really annoyed if i have to wait. i also don't like shopping with friends because most of them are my size. i hate when there is 1 item left only and/or if they find it first and i like it. ti's just too much of a hassle. sometimes i don't understand why some people HAVE TO have someone be with them (even if they are planning on just picking up one thing from a store).
