(via Am I a Size 4? 8? 10? Tackling a Crazy Quilt of Sizing - NYTimes.com)
Why it takes women so fucking long to shop: we can’t find the right size…EVER!
This is why you’ll find most long time women’s clothing sellers on ebay will put measurements in their listings. You’re lucky if you’re making a couple of dollars on each item you sell, so you can’t afford to take a return from a pissed off customer who doesn’t fit the jeans you sold her. Even so there are always the fucking asshole who doesn’t read before bidding… I once listed a pair of shorts as a size 12, with measurements, and said that the tag does say they are a size 8 but the measurements more closely matched shorts I had sold in the past at 12. She got them and sent off an angry email to me telling me I sold her the wrong shorts since these are size 8. I told her to try them on. She said, “You’re lucky they fit anyway. I’m still tempted to give you negative feedback for your deception.” AAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!111
