The saying rings true, "You want what you can't have."

I want:

But unfortunately it is sold out!
Truuuuuust, I along with the Hubsy have checked everywhere.

When I first saw the jacket a couple months ago I decided to wait just in case the price went down. I also wasn't "in love" with it. After looking around and not finding any other snowboarding jackets that tickled my fancy, I decided that I wanted my golden goose. I started searching everywhere, but no luck. This made me even more determined to find it. After a week of continuous searching for the damn thing, I sat back and really started to think why do I really want it? It's because I can't have it.

Three reasons why this is so:

1. Heightened attention: When something is hard to get (or forbidden) you immediately pay more attention to it. Notice that when you are on a restricted diet, you sometimes get too focused on what you “can’t” eat. This heightened attention -- which can escalate into obsession -- makes the forbidden food seem very important. Your inner brat takes advantage of this, and tries to convince you that you MUST have that chocolate or pizza.

2. Perceived scarcity: When something is scarce or in short supply, its perceived value increases. You want it more because you think other people also want it. If you’ve ever bid at auctions or on eBay, you know the experience of that last-minute excitement as you watch the bids spiral upward. The more people who bid, the more you’re willing to pay for the item. Your inner brat wants it at any price.

3. “Psychological Reactance”: People don’t like to be told they can’t have or can’t do something. It’s related to not wanting to be controlled by others, especially if the situation feels unfair or arbitrary. The “reactance” is both emotional and behavioral.

So do I still want the jacket knowing the reason behind it? uhhhh YEAH! I'm only human.

ps. while I was reading the above article I found another jacket that tickled my fancy...thought to myself, maybe I should purchase it just in case it sells out.
Nahhh...I'll wait..its a vicious cycle I tell you!!!

Anne Taintor. Your sharp wit combined with the vintage images that compliment your quotes so well has got me hooked! I must say my girlfriends and I, let alone all women, can relate to what you're thinking.
