Speechless
Although there are very few occasions when I run out of words (yes, I can talk and talk and talk!), but some conversations, like this one last night, do leave me speechless.
Friend: Hey, what were you doing?
Me: Nothing much, just hand-washing some clothes.
Friend: Hand-washing? You dont have a washing machine?
Me: Yes I do. But some clothes I prefer to hand-wash.
Friend: (Sounding totally confused!)Why?
Me: To take better care of them.
Friend: Why does one need to take "care" of clothes. They arent babies for god's sake.
Me: Take care of them so they last longer, and I dont have to keep buying more clothes.
Friend: Then, why do you keep buying more clothes?
Me: (Silence)
After 1 minute:
Me: (Silence)
Damn, I hate logic!

You don't need a reason! It's your money, for god's sake! You should've told him to mind his own business..
Own Money..

lol... that was funny.
Hmm... I like logic! Its difficult to explain why one would 'stock' up on clothes. (even I do it) ... but it becomes a craze...
I think it stems from today's humans getting more used to the idea of 'choice'... we'd like to have a wide variety to choose from as far as possible.
Hoard! Hoard! Hoard!
handwash clothes to take care of the clothes. buy clothes to take care of the world economy.
He did have a point. Dont wash clothes just buy new ones
