    Depends on where I am at the time. If I’m in Austin (City) and I ask someone where a really strange item is, I see their eyes glaze over, then they pull out their phone and proceed to check the store’s website.

    When I’m in Wyoming and I ask someone where a really strange item is, they ask me what I’m trying to accomplish. Then they proceed to give me a master class in the subject matter as well as a full parts list

      I tried that once. I literally showed him a picture. His response was to ask me what I was working on and then when I explained. He was like "oh you should do this instead and pointed me towards something that wouldn’t work for what I was trying to do at all. Then he argued with me about it. I was like… man just show me where this fucking item is I don’t give a shit about your opinions I know what I’m doing. He had no idea and I had to go find it myself.
