Anyway, the one time I butted in on a truly stupid conversation at Cabela's, both the clerk and customer looked at me with such hatred, I think I'll pass.
As I said earlier I generally mind my own business, but once in a LGS I did speak up. A guy was actually looking at knives and based on his comments it was obvious he had little experience. The sales clerk kept trying to get him to look at the Spyderco line and he refused saying they looked funny. So, in an attempt to be helpful, I told him that I owned several and they were excellent knives. The guy looked at me with such anger I wondered if he had somehow misunderstood what I said.
