I've been looking for a headphone/microphone splitter adapter and, was in a grocery store that used to have a small electronic section. I didn't see that section and asked an assistant manager who was chatting with another employee.
Me: Excuse me, I was looking for your electronic gadget section. It used to be right over there.
Asst. Mgr.: No, we don't have nothing like that. What were you looking for.
Me: Well, you used to have adapters and cords over there.
Asst. Mgr.: Oh, a cord? That's right over at the end of aisle 11. (Speaks very slowly) That's actually called hardware here. Hard. Ware. (He smiles as you might to someone you suspect isn't all there.)
Me: (I stared for a couple seconds thinking, "This mofo actually believes that the word hardware is new to me?")
Asst. Mgr.: How about I walk you over there?
Me: Thanks. I can find it.
*Out of the corner of my eye, I could see that the assistant manager and the other employee were laughing. I guess you make your own fun? 🙄
