Actual Conversation with Radio Shack Guy (Thoughts in Italics)
Me: Hey, I'm looking for a USB expander thing. Wow, look at his hair. Is there some kind of company requirement that these dudes all have ratty ponytails?
Radio Shack Guy: Do you need a hub or a PCI card? An expander thing? Come on. At least learn the right name.
Me: I don't know. I can tell he thinks I'm an idiot just because I don’t know what a PCI card is. Well, at least I don't wear a nametag at work.
Radio Shack Guy: Okay, let's take a look. Don't get
frustrated. Just ask yourself "What would Commander Data do?"
Me: All right. This is going to suck.
Radio Shack Guy: I suggest you go with this one. It has the 4-port PCI Card and a 4-port hub. It’s probably more than you need, but it's on sale. He still doesn't know what a PCI card is. But guess what? I'm not going to tell him.
Me: Is it difficult to install? I refuse to ask what a PCI card is. I'd rather buy it than ask.
Radio Shack Guy: Oh no. It'll take you 15 minutes. It will take him two hours and he'll probably still do it wrong. But that's not my problem.
Me: Great. Thank you. Dork
Radio Shack Guy: Sure. Good luck. You'll need it, loser.
