It's too hot to deal with stupid people in the store.
Today I had a lady who had heard about wireless lights. She thought it was truly wireless, as in no wire at all. So she had the idea to get a thick rope, attach a socket, and get the thingy or lightbulb to make it wireless. I tried explaining to her that wireless in lighting means wireless switching, dimming or adjusting colour. This can be done with a special bulb or electronic box you connect to the light fixture in combination with a wireless switch or, if it's bluetooth or wifi, an app on you phone/tablet/computer.
She didn't want to understand this.
I quickly gave up, told her we didn't have what she wanted and she should look somewhere else.
We weren't the only one with these type of customers. I went to the hardware store and one of the guys had a customer who wanted to hang some drapes on a steel cable. The distance between the walls was almost 5 meters and she didn't want the cable to sag in the middle. Which is impossible at that length (the ceiling was really high so she couldn't attach any supports on that). They guy joked that she needed an "air anchor". Everyone in the store knew this was a joke, a very old one at that, except the customer.
