The Troubles | Visiting Market With Ladies

image from meta ai

Up till now, I still use to wonder why ladies love window shopping so much even when they know they have nothing to buy in the market or from any seller, some even do it to clear their boredom, they will just enter a market/shop to keep pricing goods just for fun or to see the reaction of the seller. There is this friend of my back in school days a lady, I can literally say she almost change me when it come to buying stuff and pricing what I want to buy, we were like 5 & 6 in school, anywhere she is, don't look too far I'm around the area, so most of the time we do visit the market together and from there I love going to the market to get things myself.

It was really fun watching her bargaining for anything she feel like buying and most of the time I don't interfere, I just watch and learn because she do abuse me anytime I just pay for goods without negotiating, well it is most guys nature, if we want to get stuff, there are lot of things we do consider when it come to price, if we weigh the price and see it was just 100 naira different or felt the price wasn't that too high, we will just get it ( I somehow learn that from my dad). This went on and on and somethings I do call her stingy lady especially when she was arguing with an hausa bike man because of 20naira and I was somehow shocked, so this faithful day, she and her mum decide to visit Idumota market in Lagos and ask me if I can drive them there because it will be more convenient and easier for them to transport whatever they will get, somehow my spirit felt like opting out but I couldn't, haven't been to Idumota before so this is somehow a chance for me to know the place.

We went there as early as 9am, we had to park in a bank parking space because there are chances they will toll away your car if you pack anyhow and thank God I snap the bank if not we wont be able to locate it later. I thought I went there to have fun but at the end I was somehow frustrated, my plan was within 3-4 hours we will be done, but ladies will be ladies, for just 1 particular cloth out of the others on the buying list, we went to like 5 shops trying to check the difference in price which wasn't up to a thousand but we keep moving up and down and at some point I was almost forced to just dash them the 1k so we can get out of the place 😂, we went on and on and I was just following, at some point I was hungry, ate breakfast and lunch because we were there till like 4-5pm

That day make me start wondering why this gender are like that, my mom, sister do the same most of the time too, it is a somehow a general character or trait inherited from female ancestors, at times I do pity those sellers because most things they are always cajoled to sell way beyond their profit point. Even if it is possible to price bread or mall goods, this my friend will price it
