A Writer Lost In The Sales
Once a year it happens. After all of the festive celebrations end I find myself, like so many others, lost in a world of bargain hunters and shopaholics at the Christmas sales.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I like a bargain just like every other human. However, when it comes to the sales, I truly believe that was the reason that the internet was invented.
I often wonder as I sit in the shoe section of (insert random department store name here), how many other men around the world are doing exactly the same thing in other shops around the world.
That’s another thing, am I the only guy in the world who gives a sigh of relief when he walks into a shop with his wife, upon finding that it has a shoe section? I believe not. For the magical shoe section of any shop truly is the place that I find sale happiness.
Not that I am remotely interested in buying shoes. I just know that if a shop sells shoes, it also has a place where I can sit and ponder the problems of the universe. Usually, whilst my wife happily hunts for bargains.
Whoever invented the humble shoe section, was indeed a genius and a true humanitarian.
