Dear Vid,

after your unknown caller thread, I was slightly concerned reading the thread of the title! Then when I started reading, I imagined perhaps this stranger wanted to help you because you were carrying this big bag or some such thing! Then when you said he disappeared and similarly dressed lady appeared, I was confused! I even imagined what kind of clothes this woman was wearing or for that matter that man was wearing - I am not making all this up! Not even for a minute did imagine it is a shop! What's happening to me Vid? I had to read till the end - till you had to tell you were in a shop! Oh my!!

And you are far sweeter than me - I am usually fairly open in asking them to leave me alone, being so used to taking my own time and walking around as long as I want and even here, I am used to saying with an immediate "yes please" or "no, thank you"!

This is what happens if Chakra doesnot go with you on your shopping sprees Vid, believe me! Why break down even if it is all for good reasons? So you better gear up Chakra to come along to not only avoid stalkers but also to avoid breaking down. Would you agree?

Thanks for dropping by Srama...
Oh "No thanks" has worked with me. Many a times I have ended up coming out without buying anything just to get away from the stalkers
Yeah... I agree I made a mistake of not taking Chakra with me....

:rotfl:rotfl:rotflVid. Nice one & had a good laugh readin it.
I started reading with a half mind as my kids are disturbing me in order to get me off from laptop and imagined the stalker to be some animal:bonk but it was ruled out as started again to read to get to the point correctly with full mind this time. But after some reading when you said the stalker turned out to be a lady this time, I assumed to be some sales girl but I didn't expect it to be a shop:hide:.

So finally the stalker turned to be your helper in turn helping themselves with the sales and helping you with few dresses & leaving you with a nice experience to be presented as a hilarious snippet for us.:cheers

Regards,
Latha.

Hahaha vid,I too totally detest these stalkers but being the "experienced" shopper that I have now become, just turn around with one of my sweetest smiles and say that I am only looking around and will ask for help when I need it.

One of the things that the MALL culture taught me,I guess.

Oh Mindi.. I do tell them I will ask for help if required, but many a times it falls on deaf ears

You know you got me on this one.:bonk Having read that you are traveling by the new metro in Bangalore I really thought some questionable character was stalking you!

That was hilarious:rotfl:rotfl!
Yes these showroom stalkers are universal; can't browse the goodies at our leisure. They suddenly come up on us and ask, "do you find what you want?"; I never can answer to that properly becasue most of the time I am clueless as to what I am looking for unless I find it!!

Enjoyed this a lot.:thumbsup
