I pose the question…. “Is JB Hi-Fi More Addictive Than Drugs?”
Why do I ask this, well I guess that every time I go in to JB, I end up coming out with something. Much like Bunnings really.
This had me thinking, Is it an addiction?
Well most who know me know that I’m a music junkie and have always bought lots of CDs (Yes, I still prefer to own the real thing rather than buy it on iTunes) that and at least purchasing the real thing, you don’t have DRM or quality issues to worry about.
Today, I went in to JB with the intention of purchasing 1 CD, Roisin Murphy - Overpowered, which I did, but then started doing my usual strolling the isles, digging through the sin bins, just like a junkie would look every where for their last little bit of drugs to get their next hit. So, after all my digging, I walk out with Roisin Murphy, Holly Throsby, a few oldies from Dizzy Gillespie and Jose Gonzalez.
Now, tell me I’m not an addict! (K’s Choice from the mid 90’s)
So this got me thinking, what other addictions do we have in society that when you look at it, are actually more addictive than drugs?
Your Comments please

Hell yeh. Every time I go to JB I walk in look for one CD or I’ll be looking for a voucher for a friend. I usually end up leaving with 5 extra CD’s :S. Don’t get me wrong, I love the CD’s, but I don’t like the credit card bill…

Yes, the credit card bill at the other end is always the shit part of it.
Then again, it hasn’t stopped me in the past, so I don’t see how it’s going to stop me in the future
