Irving: That one! Cathy: That one, unless any of the other ones in any of the other stores in any of the other malls are better! Irving: I found the perfect Christmas gift for you, honey! Cathy: Really? Irving: I didn't even have to look! It was just there! Cathy: ... and it was better than all the other ones that were there? Irving: I didn't look at anything else that was there! This one is perfect! Cathy: How can you know it's perfect if you didn't look at anything else? Irving: Why would I look after I found the perfect thing? Cathy: I'm looking at other things in my mind and I don't even know what the gift is! Irving: You're mentally browsing for superior versions of a gift you haven't seen?? Cathy: No! The opposite, honey! I'm mentally browsing for inferior versions to validate the lovely choice you made! Irving: Aagh!! Cathy: If they don't understand "comparison shopping" it's almost impossible to explain "comparison receiving". His Way. Her Way.
Why comparison receive at all? Just accept a nice gift
