techrecoveryDear Supermarket Laptop Salesman,
Do NOT try to out-techie me. Especially don't try to out-techie me when you clearly don't understand that there is a difference between desktop and mobile components and that they have not, in fact, fitted 'that huge card' inside the laptop. I realise I'm younger than you and female and so it breaks your little brain, but you've probably used a machine I installed and am responsible for and you're reminding me of myself ten years ago.
I realise that I'm hardly the average customer, and I get that you understand far more than your colleagues, but still. If you really *must* try to out-techie me, *accept defeat* when I start looking peeved and point out that I have more experience than you.
Here's a hint - 'accepting defeat' does NOT involve flirting with me. Here's another hint - That bloke who I was talking to just now before he wandered off to take a support call from a friend? The one who's a good 8" taller than you and several stone of muscle heavier? He's NOT MY DAD. Plus he knows more about laptops than you and he cuts down trees for a living.
No Love, Me.
