I was at a conference and was asked what I do when I'm stressed out. Well I said when I am really stressed out I like to go to Walmart and go shopping and buy nice clothes.
Well everyone laughed
What's so funny about that? I laughed along though.

For women it is not unusual to buy when stressed. For men it is only a female cliche`. So they both will laugh. Women because they know what you mean, and men because they think it is funny.

it is obvious that when u are stressed u would like to take some rest or meditate ,it is childish to say that u will go for shopping as shopping does not make the person stress free scientifically and as the world moves on the finger of science u should also follow the way of science.

It was because you said you go to Walmart to buy nice clothes. I shop at Walmart too, but I wouldn't say that it's where I bought my best clothes.

They think you are a bimbo because you buy brand name clothes. Sorry but thats what it is, they are horrid snobs. Next time just say you like to give the credit card a flogging. (Thats how the silly up marketers talk)

They were probably expecting some cliched response like 'I meditate', 'I go for a walk' or 'I take a stiff drink' but the fact that you gave them something that they weren't expecting they didn't know how to respond.
I like your destressing method and do it myself.
