Is this too sarcastic a Question ?

I was in my local Hardware store today looking for "Pads" for the legs of my 20 year old kitchen chairs. The Pads that prevent the chairs from scraping the floor. I even brought a Sample of the old Pads. I picked off the shelf what I thought would suffice. I took it to the Hardware Store Genius Counter (a little iMac sarcasm there) and asked the Genius behind the counter if I had a Match.

• the guy had no clue what I was talking about...
• "what you have in that package Pal are Gliders, they wrap around the legs of your chair."
• he went on to say..."what you have from your old chair is something I never seen before"

What I had from the old chairs were Pads that were inserted"into" the leg of the chair, the new ones "wrap around" the leg of the chair. So I asked the Genius if he thought that a 1 and a quarter inch wrap around would fit on the outside diameter of my chair leg...

• his response..."I never seen pads inserted into the leg, we only have wrap-a-rounds"

So I asked him this question, which I am asking you...is this too sarcastic?

• I asked, "Do you wake up stupid? Or, do you wake up normal and get more stupid as the day goes by"?

Like a lot of people; Hardware Store people, Mechanics, Car Sales People, Plumbers, Electricians, Lawn Mowers, Bankers, Dentists & Doctors...they think we are all idiots! I did buy the wrap-around pads for one chair and they fit fine. I will be back to the Hardware Store tomorrow to buy pads for the other three chairs...

• Thank you for listening！
