Last night while browsing around the shoe section of a local mall retailer, I had some fun observing the various people that were there, and their attitudes toward the experience. There were more than a couple great examples of the classic situation—a wife busily focused on mentally cataloging every item she came across on sales racks or shoe shelves, and a husband, somewhere close, leaning against a support column or sitting on a provided seat, a look in his eyes that would instantly tell you his only thought was the attempted calculation of when this might all be over.
