Being extremely particular and uncompromising about everything...

Can this happen? mmmm-- Some people like us would gape awestruck at such pampering but I guess, in modern days with i ncreased female empowerment, these things happen. Coming to the latter part, I too have seen this Kiran. When it hits me, then I am upset. Otherwise, I just look at that sort of behaviour as a third party and don't think too mcuh about it, because many people do get away with that. You would also notice that they always have something or the other to crib about because they are lookig for perfection in an imperfect world. While this is a general observation,, I occasionally look for some specific thing and if it is available I would buy it ; if not I would wait and patiently search.If it is an expensive thing then I would get choosy becaues it is a onetime purchase. Otherwise I would not mind. FOr food, i would choose my food but here I am capable of adjustments.[for e,g , if I choose to take cha\pathis AND the side dish is not to my taste I can manage with some sugar too. It is a matter of just satiating my hunger.But I do have some specific dislikes and I cannot tolerate cheese , panner and the like.I would go without them. I agree with you wholeheartedly that life is one big compromise ; if we are not specific about too many things our own peace is maintained. If we are specific and noone would pamper us , then we pressurise ourselves.

I think that it depends on the item. There are a few specific brands of jeans that I used to have to buy, and sometimes I had to go to several different stores to find the right brand or the right size. That is because I was skinny but actually had hips instead of being a "bean pole". At that time, most jeans were either made for skinny people with no figure or heavier people with curves. If you were not in one of those two categories, then you were out of luck. When I found a couple brands that were made differently I would go out of my way to get them, because who really wants to wear clothes that do not fit them right and are not comfortable?

Hi Kiran! You are right that there are some fussy people around us, who normally do not compromise, be it food or their outfits. I have observed that if we are in a group of 4-5 friends and have gone to a restaurant, one of us might order for a dish, which will be different, he might ask for uncommon dish to show us that he has ‘different’ or ‘special’ taste than us. Another day, we were in a restaurant with some friends for lunch, one of the friends come occasionally. He ordered for rice only and did not ask for any baked bread etc., when I asked him the reasons, he said if I order any baked bread I will have to use my own hands and I can take rice through spoon and my hands will not get spoiled. I was startled to hear his answer and kept thinking that does he not take baked bread (Chapati/Parantha) at home and if so, how does he eat his baked bread?

Generally women have the habit of going shop to shop to buy a particular thing. It is loss of time and energy. I feel bore to give company with such lady. My wife also has such habit. Seldom I give her company in marketing. As for food also It is a bad habit.

Before setting on a shopping spree I know exactly what I am looking for and therefore I spend very little time making my choice. And as for my husband accompanying me he would only come as far as the door of the shop and wait for me there which would even make me rush with my shopping!

I am also like that girl. When i am buying a particular thing,like shoes and bags and other mechanical thing , i have to canvass first and buy what for me is best. But when it comes to food, i eat whatever is there on the table. But of course, when we dine out , we have to look for a restaurant that serves the best.

Reminds me of when R and I were newly together and he wanted to buy me a watch, but I couldn't find one I liked that was in his budget. If he had bought me one, I would have accepted it and been happy with it, but since he asked me to choose one, I wasn't going to pick one out that wasn't right.

I am picky about a lot of things, but that's just me. I can compromise, but usually don't do so very often. Am friends with people who like the same things I do. I was taught growing up to try new things so I did, and so I guess I am an oxymoron lol..

Kiranji I agree, we have to adjust, compromise and at times accept things which normally we don't like.. A bout the TV and internet, i rather like to call them as 'world of illussion' About buying things, yes i have to see and select from what is available in local market usually.. Thanks for sharing Have a nice day ahead. Professor ‘@Bhuwan@’. .

In real life, it's too common. I have ever walked along whole street just to look someting favoriate. I will give it up if I can't find it. Maybe you think it's not a necessarity. It's another word, stubborn. I don't think it's a bad personality. We still need to insist on something good. But unpromise is another tolerance.
