Same here. I loathe shopping and malls, and certainly despise the "shopping mall". This is a source of constant grief between the wife and I...she doesn't appreciate my...err...efficiency during the holiday season. I don't go into a mall without a plan, and usually the Mission Impossible theme is playing.

I can't imagine how people can walk at a snails pace in front of you, cut you off, bump into you, stand in the middle of an aisle and not let you by. And if you were to hip check one into the toy rack they file charges against you.

The deal had better be pretty darn good good to compensate me for walking through that minefield.
Hey Speedy...get yer Christmas shoppin' done yet? Race ya...
