Purchase shaming

Being ridiculed for buying something, amounts to shaming.

My son saw my John Wayne Ranch jacket, and made fun of me for buying it. He purchase shamed me. I asked him, "Are you purchase shaming me?"

purchase halo

The period of socially acceptable time after a purchase, in which to freeload.

For example, time in which to use wi-fi / tables / sockets / toilets in a coffee house or restaurant, which extends from the point of ordering of a meal or drink, to the point at which one is asked to leave or the (usually justified) passive aggression of serving staff becomes a distraction to work. Length of time is proportional to value of the purchase, size of tip and quality of your small talk or flirting, with said staff.

Bustling pointedly past my table for the 25th time in 10 minutes, the waiter eyed me unpleasantly and loudly mentioned to his colleague about how busy it seemed in here today. The purchase halo of my small filter coffee had long since dwindled below the locally acceptable dimensions: we were in the end-game now.

purchase review

An essential part of any shopping trip which takes place when one has caught their breath towards the end of the trip, it is to simply look back and asess exactly what goods they have purchased with their cash, merely for their own benefit and maybe who else is with them.

This usually takes place on the platforms of various train stations pending on where the trip has taken place.

Josh: 'The Train ain't comin till 17:39'

Wilson: 'Oh no that is almost seven minutes away! what ever will we do in that time?'

James: 'Time for a purchase review.'
