Old Navy, The Gap, Ambercrombie-whatever, Areopostale, etc etc

I HATE THESE STORES!! Show me the idiot who thought it would be a good idea to pump loud club music into the store while someone is trying to buy clothes!?! Man, I went shopping with my girlfriend yesterday, and I was extremely irritated by the time we left the mall. Nothing but crap pouring out of the speakers at each store we went to!!

If anyone works at any of these stores, I'm sorry in advanced, but y'all guys bite on customer service. I don't know, maybe you've gotta have that, "I'm so cool cause I work at the Gap, and I don't have to help you cause I'm so super cool. Let me talk to my friend while I'm sipping on my latte and ignoring my customers, cause I'm. . .super cool." attitude, but I just about wanted to drop kick each little punk I saw in each of these stores!!

Can someome please explain to me why it's necessary to have your cap turned to the side?? YOU LOOK LIKE A MORON, AND APPARENTLY DRESS LIKE ONE TOO!! Turn your freaking hat straight, stop smacking your jaw with your gum, walk like a man, and get your head out of your *CENSORED*.

I don't know, maybe it's a generational thing...hell I'm 22 years old and I don't get it. I guess y'all can start calling me Pops soon. I got a feeling I'm going to be a crabby old man!

Rant mode OFF!

 

I do not shop at these kind of stores very much. Wrangler 20x jeans and cheap shirts are more my style. I notice that the sales people at The Buckle are very helpful, but almost annoying. I bought a pair of Docs there once and they were very good about getting them repaired.

 

Just be happy we can afford nice clothes. There are poor people in third world countries that would be happy to even have clothes.

 

You just killed any kind of momentum this thread had.

But on the other hand, you are very right. We can not even begin to imagine the kind of priveliges and luxuries that we have, but take for granted. It's almost staggering to think about it.

 

I don't think Old Navy is as bad as the Gap. I go in those places with my wife. She goes for clothes. I go to check out the chicks. But every once in a while, there might be a guy on the other "team" that just cracks me up. It's kinda funny.

 

I feel exactly the same way as you. I'm only 19, and I think I relate better to 80 year old men than most kids my age. I just don't get all these "trendy" looks and why some kids have to have that stupid strut to make themselves look like thugs. And what gets me most is rich kids from the suburbs who dress like gangsters and talk like rappers. And speaking of rap, what is so cool about mispronouncing words? I don't know about you, but I have a birthday, not a birfday, and I put food in my mouth, not my mouf. Or do they say teef? And right hur and over thur. Anyways, I think it's all dumb. Ok, now my rants over.

 

Uh, yeah. Forgot to add something.

Most of my clothes have been gifts. I don't buy nothing for myself in the way of clothes. Except work shirts and work socks. I go to Zellers for those. No uppity staff there.

A little side question for you young guys. I figure you don't like seeing people wearing their hats sideways. I don't either. But how about backwards? I wear mine backwards only under a welding helmet.

 

I don't have anything against people wearing them backwards. When I'm riding a quad or on a boat, I turn it backwards so the wind doesn't blow it off. Or just to get the visor out of my view. It's just something about it being sideways that makes me wanna smack it off peoples heads. Maybe cause there is absolutely no point to wearing it sideways, at least wearing it backwards you have an excuse.

 

im with you munkey, im 19 and i think like an old man alot of the time

 

I get TONS of free t-shirts because of my line of work and events I go too so it's very rare I buy clothes. My girlfriend buys me jeans occasioanlly and I bought 2 hooded sweatshirts this winter to keep warm. Other than that I don't buy any clothing. Those stores drive me crazy. And what's with paying $40-$50 for jeans and shorts that already have holes and are just about worn out???

 

I'm 19 and I turn my around hat backwards to keep my hair out of my eyes and I do it for kicks. I got two huge trucker hats I wear backwards for fun sometimes. But usually where my hats normal. I don't like the prep stores either, overpriced and run by jerks. Thrift stores and goody's is for me. -William

 

Backwards is ok with me if there's a reason, like stated before, keeping it from blowing off, or getting it to fit under a helmet, etc etc.

I'm happy with my three paris of Levi's, a t-shirts, and my 'everyday' ballcap, and my 'good' cap.

 

When a person's hat is worn abnormally, I generally assume that the person is a gang banger and respond accordingly. As for the obnoxious music, simply ask the person at the cash register "what is wrong with your stereo"? When they ask you, "what do you mean", tell them that there is a real bad sound comming out of it. Then proceed to shop at a decent store. Thankfully, I only need to buy clothes a few times a year.

 

I hate clothes shopping in general, but I go with my "better half" about every other weekend when she goes (I usually don't buy). I only clothes shop as a necessity.

 

who needs clothes spend the money on your ford
