Just come back from the rep store and ended up picking up the wrong size UV tube for Godzilla because of the stupidity of a numpty that I ended up talking to whilst I was in there  .
He wanted to buy a large hairy spider thing. Not a problem so far. Whilst talking to Paul (who was remaining remarkably patient) he drops into the conversation that he allergic to bee stings, wasp stings, etc. Not just a bit allergic but full-on anaphalactic shock allergic. Paul was trying to talk him out of it but the guy just wasn't hearing what he was saying. I joined Paul in talking the guy out of it and he ended up going for mantids instead but I just couldn't believe that this guy could be so dumb  . He wouldn't eat a snickers if he was allergic to peanuts .
Sorry for the rant just needed to:
1) Get it off my chest
2) Give a big thumbs up to Emsworth Aquaria for standing their ground with this muppet.
Right, I'm off back up to the rep store again to go get the right size tube  |

Maybe they shouldn't stand in the way of natural selection, if he progenates it can't be good for the collective gene pool.
Seriously though, I wish there were more shops that exercised the right to refuse service in the interests of safety or common sense.
