Nah malls are boring.
If i shop for anything, it's in and out within some minutes.

No. If I need to buy something I buy it and leave. As soon as the mission's target is accomplished I have no reason to idle.

I can tolerate going to a mall, but "tolerate" is the key word. Also, whenever I plan to go to a mall alone, I google the address to make sure there are no middle schools or high schools within the nearest five miles. After all, people from those schools typically hang out at the mall, and if they notice one little thing different about you, they're going make you regret you ever set your foot in that mall.

Sometimes. I don't like 85% of the stores there, but I enjoy going in the ones I like. For example, bookstores, video game stores, movie stores.

Yes, I like to walk around in the mall. I love toys and videogames stores, arcade centers and some similar places, but I try to keep me out of cloth and accesories stores, this kind of stores are meeting points for people of private high schools, almost all of them are shallow and stupid.

And I like to wander around the city and downtown, finding curious and rare things, new routes. Although I hate crowds, I can tolerate it because of my love for wandering.

But I prefer to wander on weekdays, or in the morning, when people is on schools and work centers.

I would love to go to the mall, the bad thing is that there is not all the many malls here in Montana. When I lived in NJ I was only blocks away from a 3-story mega mall (Newport Centre in Jersey City). Its a damn shame that I live in hicktown rather than a big place like NYC, but some day I will

The mall is excessive everything. I'm overloaded the instant I'm in the door. Well, okay, 25 seconds after. I mean, just the door thing - can't people get it together about going in or out? Have you ever noticed that some people don't want to use a door all by themselves, and will reach for another door because it's got somebody (me!) using it? And then those huge tin-sounding hallways, and people all yammering - and I didn't even get as far as a store yet!

I don't like malls for the same reasons everyone else has listed. Too noisy, too many people, especially too many young people whom tend to be the ones that like to bully you or stare if you are different. It's also too bright because of the excessive fluorescents they use. Also too many smells. Having cinnamon almonds, Chinese food and chocolate chip cookies smells intermingling makes me feel overwhelmed along with the scents of different people. Yes I detect people scents. I'm not talking just the dirty body odor people, but clean people have scents too. I swear different races have different scents. I can also generally tell what people's diets are by their scent and I can smell death on old people.


Shopping centres are okay for me, I go into them all the time I dont remember having any unpleasant experiences in shopping centres, at least since I moved from Tasmania to Victoria 10 years ago.

For me, it really depends on how quiet it is. The mall here is pretty spacious with a lot of spaced out seating, so sometimes, close to closing time, I like to just go in there and sit and watch the remaining people go by and think and look at the patterns around the place. I also like the bookstore there and a cafe that does nice lattes and is usually quiet and out of the way. but when it is a weekend and there are lots of people, I get angry as I hate being pushed around and hate the noise and the rat race mentality. I see mass consumerism everywhere and find it pathetic really, what most people spend their money on, but then I suppose, I spend quite a lot on films and books and my food.

Yes, I hate the mall. When I was a teen, I used to go with my younger sister, and usually ended up getting overwhelmed by the crowds, the smells, the noises, and the lights. There was this one specialty shop that I liked to visit, and I always braved the mall to do so. I also always got turned around and confused, usually when trying to rush out the proper entrance where the buses came, and it was an altogether unpleasant experience! There was one mall, when I was older, that I actually liked to visit. It was a small, unpopular mall with only one level, and some of the stores looked retro. Not many people shopped there, and it was never crowded. I never felt like I needed to rush out of there. Of course they modernized it and jazzed it up, and now its obnoxious like all the others :cry:

I love to just randomly go to malls, whether it's with my friends or by myself. I also like to go to supermarkets and department stores, even if I have nothing to buy.

I do. The onslaught of colors, scents and sounds makes me feel slightly drunk, in a nice sort of way.

But I don't like being there *too* long, because I tend to get confused and tired and end up feeling like I'm sleepwalking or something. One of the things I hated as a child was the trips to the clothes market with my mother, when we had to walk through rows and rows of stalls, sometimes for hours. I ended up worn out and hardly knew what I'm doing or where we were going anymore.

I also don't like it when there are too many people and they all keep pushing past, and I don't like having to stand in queues. It can be very irritating.

I don't go to the mall unless I have to, or occastionally if I'm having a good day I will choose to go but usually with a good friend because otherwise it's no fun. Worst part about the mall is small, poorly laid out stores packed with a million people. That is just begging for a meltdown!

I do go to the mall a lot. This is probably because there is a repetitive nature to it. I go to the same stores every time. I look in the same sections of the same stores. I get something to eat at the same places each time.

I don't like it when it is crowded though.
