On the positive side, I got some car paint so Larry doesn't look like he got cut up by a bitch, now he just looks blotchy. I can deal with that.

Don't come up to me and ask for a discount if you have a starbucks in your hand. If you can pay $5 for a cup of shitty coffee, you can pay $179.99 for a camera.

I've always, for the benefit of the consumer, assumed a certain intelligent quota for customers who come in and need assistance. It is ok to not know anything about technology as I am here to explain it to you so you do.

However, when a consumer cannot understand simple words such as but not limited to the following, I cannot provide any more assistance other than silent mockery.

The word list is as follows:
Proprietary
Resolution
Low-Profile
Multi-tasking
Wall
Size

Actual list size is larger, but some terms have been forgotten/blocked from my memory.

I took these photos from my car the other day driving to the store. This idiot was driving the wrong way down a one-way road in a shopping plaza with THREE signs that say, "DO NOT ENTER" on them. Then she backed up and tried to turn around three times, instead of just driving to the left which would have lead her to a parking lot. I took the parking lot route and turned around just in time to see her trying to turn at the end of the wrong way. Some people just shouldn't drive.
