If you're buying something, could be shoes, a watch, phone, a car or a house.

If you find something that meets your requirements (i.e. ticks all the boxes) do you buy it before it goes/because you found what you were looking for or continue to shop around just in case you find something better?

We are guys so we don't buy staff. Markii Kabaha naga dhamaadaan ayaan kuwo kale gadanaah. I am looking for new shoes hada because kuwii hore way iga jeex jeexmeen.

Probably clarks ayaan soo gadan doonaah Insha allah about $40. I had my Old Shoes for about 3 years.

-Think of something I need
-Go to shop
-Find it
-Buy it
-?????
-Profit?

Okay let's make it more manly.


When you go to buy...say a car arrrrrgh manly!...do you buy the first one that is within budget, the right colour etc say you find it in the first 2 days of your search is that okay or do you keep searching until you are relatively sure there's nothing else out there..

To answer your kweeshan, yes, autotrader.co.uk bargain.

The first thing that I look at is the car history, title, engine and milleage. Markaas waan iska gataah.

@ Colour.

When I bought my car, I called up my cousin and asked him if he knows any good dealers or honest friends trying to flog theirs. He called me back up, he had a friend selling it. I went, checked everything out, haggled a bit and bought it. The process took eight days. It is about connections, you can't let these gaalo charge you an arm and a leg.

As for your general question; no, I am not an indecisive prick that holds up sellers. I budget and get what I need. Stop being such a woman.

I knew someone would take the piss about colour, had to be you


I am not being indecisive once I find the one I want I'm ready to pay up. I'm being made to feel like I'm buying out of emotion although everything seems to check out.

I make those decisions quite quickly.

I am kinda impatient person. If i want to get and the need is there, the sooner i am done the better.

I bought my car within 3 days. I didnt care much except that it will run well and fuel isnt gonna cost me arm and leg.

I get really frustrated with indecisive people. Like a friend that takes 30 minutes to order a single item.

Ok this is about my hair colour, I've picked a shade and I'm being talked out of it. I don't get the big deal.

U can change it in few weeks. Go for it. : lols:

And you complain about debt.

Wear dacas all year round and save that $40 for a rainy day.

Really quick. I decided to buy some cloths for a xaflad with a friend, I walked in to a shop and came out with a pair of shoes, vest, shirt and jacket....in under 10 mins, maybe even less. The guy with me had the funniest expression as if he saw some weird act, waa naxay. When it was his turn, I told him to take his time because I could tell he was a bit uncomfortable and not sure if I had the patience to wait for him to finish his shopping

Depends on what I am looking for plus how important it is at that moment as well as the time I have for shopping

But most of the time I do buy whatever meets my requirements on the spot. I don't search around to see if I will come across something of better. Even if that happens I will just look at it and pass. Other times I spend mostly on window shopping.

I know someone like you. Wallahi she gets on my nerves. Her indecisiveness, her never ending comparative cost-benefit-analysis and constant buyer's remorse. It is draining.
