Are there people who are the opposite of those of us in this thread, who feel the need to hurry no matter what, for no reason whatsoever? And can't stand anyone else being slow? I think I married one, and it may be our most glaring incompatibility.

ironically, i can't stand being stuck behind a slowpoke. Mad it makes me feel clausterphobic. Embarassed i am always in a hurry.
Same here! I don't like to have my time wasted by someone else.

I think what bothers me about DH insisting on speed when we shop is that he also insists we do this together, even though he knows we do it at different speeds. I find it impossible, in a store, to speed myself up that much. I'm in strange territory, with strange people, lots of noise, and I go into sensory overload very easily. On my home turf that's not such a problem. Out there, yikes. I feel as if I'm going to get run over, and someone rushing me makes my mind freeze up - makes me even slower and stupider. Sometimes I can't even answer a simple question. I try to get myself into the right frame of mind, but although more caffeine would probably help, it also sends me in search of the restroom everywhere we go. I'm best off if I can shop at my dawdle pace. I ENJOY shopping at my own pace. It's a nightmare though when I'm rushed.
