Wow..its December? Where did the time go? *sigh* I'm now faced with shitloads of Christmas shopping in the coming weeks...eek. I hate Christmas shopping..no not the whole buying for other people, its the experience. I mean there are hoards of people at the mall..or whatever store you choose to go to. And then the places you decide to go to are always understaffed, understocked and just not pleasant places to be..and lets not forget those crazy Christmas shoppers:
The Get It Over With Shopper: This shopper, usually a male enters into one store and buys all gifts needed. Characteristics of this shopper are a permanent look of confusion as they browse the aisles looking for something to give to that special someone. This type of shopper has the lowest threat to your safety.
The Stalker Shopper: This shopper is very indecisive and when possible, they latch onto their prey by following them around and picking up whatever items their chosen target has. Also known as the creepy mother****** who stands unusually close to you when you're browsing through a clothes rack and does a double take on the piece of merchandise that you were previously looking at. This type of shopper has a very low threat, they're just really creepy.
The Pusher: This shopper is one you don't want to mess with. They are usually in a bad mood..or just really rude. They shove through crowds with disregard to personal space and just want to get out of the establishment as soon as they can. This is the shopper who intentionally pushes you and doesn't apologize. This shopper has an elevated threat, but is not necessarily a danger to you, just really annoying.
The Mom With 12 Kids: This is a shopper who takes all their children Christmas shopping with them. You know, that person who has screaming kids in her cart, and what seems like a hundred more running through the aisles. This shopper can be very distracting and has a short temper. You'd best stay out of her way. This shopper has a very high threat, stay far away.
The Frustrated Shopper: Now this is the shopper you must look out for. They're tired, hungry and fed up. All they want to do is just get on home and forget about the whole day. Now this shopper is ready to snap and is looking for any reason to let the floodgates loose. Use extreme caution around this shopper as their threat level is at the highest.
