    Was buying the damn phone not a bit of a "negates smart comment I made in my own little mind"ish thing to do? Surely not buying the phone was the better road to take?

    She goes "you do have wifi right?"
    You go "Yes, and now you have a phone you could have sold, byyyee".

    I like that version better.:confused:

    I still don't get this

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    I can never think of one to save my life.

    The closest I got was when a knackerish kid said to me as I went down the road "nice bike" in a very sarcastic tone. I replied "nice hat" in an equally sarcastic tone.

    In the shop I work in, a large group of students came in the other day, three guys came up to the counter, they were all fairly tall, seemed older and I didn't think they were part of the students, one of them was a good 6ft and I asked did he get any petrol or diesel and he laughed in my face and handed me a bottle of sprite.

    I looked and him and repeated the question and he goes "erm no I'm 18 for god sake?!" I replied "I assume you didn't get fuel then". and he responds with "clearly not... I got a bottle of sprite" proceeds to point to it on the counter and goes "Oh I suppose you want to see my Age-card for the sprite do you?!"

    Seen as he was rude to me for no reason and clearly acting up in front of his friends I decided to put him in his place and told him no I clearly didn't want to see his little age card and asked him if he wanted a medal? he started to go all red and I handed him a "share a coke" key-ring, he asked what the key-ring was for and I told him it was for his bruised ego and his friends burst out laughing at him and he went even more red!

    In fairness he deserved to be put in his place for showing of to his friends by being rude to me.. idiot !:pac:

    So hang on, she asked you a perfectly normal question when buying a phone ensuring you weren't going to be spending a fortune on mobile data, you told her something stupid then bought phone insurance? you do realise you gave her extra commission for that?

    I remember this bitch in a phone shop asked me if I had wifi and I just looked at her dead in the eye, straight on, silently, for about 15 seconds, not blinking, not looking away. Then I told her I had banana flavoured milk in the fridge at home, handed her €50 and walked out without buying anything, and she didn't even work there.

    I didn't look back, but if I did, the look on her face would have said it all. We both knew I had won that battle.

    I was working in a deli and we had a hot food unit with a door that customers could open on their side of the counter and take out the food (burgers, chicken wings etc). It had a sign above it called 'Grab and Go'.

    One day a group of lads came in and one of them stands in front of it, has a look and knocks on the glass of the unit.
    Guy: "Hey! Here, you!"
    Me: "Yes?"
    Guy: "Gimme a burger and some chicken wings"
    *His friends are watching and smirking*
    Me: "Sure, just open the door on your side and take them out."
    Guy: "What? How does this thing work?"
    Me: *Pointing to the sign* It's a grab and go unit. You just open the door and grab the food you want, then go to the till and pay for it.

    He went bright red and his friends fell about the place laughing at him. Not the first time he had tried showing off in the shop in front of his mates, but it was the last time! :D

    No, still singular. It's a technology, not an object.

    I have 'IEEE 802.11b Direct Sequence' just didnt trip off the tongue.
    Perhaps this is the basis of the OPs retort? That 'having WiFi' technically doesn't make sense in the first place, thereby highlighting that the sales clerk wasn't so tech-savvy after all. Still, not great.

    This...

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/5698062/Burglar-left-bruised-and-bleeding-by-retired-boxer-72.html

    Also a few years ago, a few hoodies were kicking off upstairs at the back of a double decker bus near Amien street in evening traffic. They were shouting, laughing, and smoking weed and being a general annoyance to everyone. I reckon a punter who proceeded to go downstairs to get off the bus tipped the driver off about the carry on upstairs, because he put on the anchors at a bus stop and came roaring across the P.A something like. "THIS BUS ISNT MOVING 1 INCH UNTIL YOU IDIOTS UPSTAIRS AT THE BACK DROP THE SMOKES AND CUT THE CRAP OUT. ANYMORE NONSENSE AND ILL BE RINGING THE GUARDS". The lads quietened down but got off about 2 stops later. Brilliant.

    My OH looked at me quizingly to which I replied " yea, we have two of them"
    This shut her right up and we bought the phone and insurance and left.
    Have you ever put some wise crack in their place?

    I don't get it.

    As for mine, in 1974 I was catching the London train from Crewe station. It was very crowded; I found myself in a last-minute rush for the one remaining seat beside a tall, good-looking man with collar-length hair, it was the seventies; buckaroo! I looked up and saw it was none other than Peter Purves, it was the height of his Blue Peter career. He said, "You jammy bastard" and quick as a flash, I replied, "Don't be blue, Peter!"

    Needless to say, I had the last laugh, now **** off.

    You might have two routers but you don't have two wi-fis.

    jeebus, if talking about wifi is deemed as being tech saavy these days, god help us. do you live on a island off the coast of kerry by any chance?
