"Ms. Crouch, an editor who lives in Park Slope, said she was shocked by the level of enthusiasm her contemporaries, whom she described as 'professionals in their 30's and 40's,' have shown toward Target and other stores. She said she had not intended to visit the mall on a recent Saturday, but could not resist stopping as she passed by on her way home from yoga class."
Of course she hadn't "intended" to go to the mall. If the Times is going to get a quote from you, and you're a "professional," you want to emphasize that you were coming from yoga class, not that you were going to the mall. No, she just stumbled upon it, the way people "accidentally" fall on their remote controls and end up watching 12 straight hours of "Roseanne" reruns.
