So today while I was in the mall with my ol lady I wandered over to the local Tinder Box to see what was new. Everything appeared to be the same ol same ol....Opus X's, Padrons, San Cristobals.... wait what's this?
I see some Montecristo Series Vino Cabernet? I ask the guy working "what are these, and how long have they been in?" He replies "about a month." He tells me they are supposed to be good with a glass of Cabernet? I says "well, I guess I better try one since I've never had one before." As I reach in and pull one out, the one underneath is covered with white furry stuff? I says whoah man these things are covered with mold. He runs over and has a looksie. He digs one out and says this isn't mold, this is........(and he draws a blank). I says, "plume?" He goes "yeah, that's what it is!"
Anyway, I held up the cigar and showed him how mold has little fingers that reach out and is splotchy. The feet were ate up with the fuzzy. I also showed him how wet and squishy the sticks were. He says "geez, the boss would cut your throat if he saw you doing that!"
He was pretty upset with me at this point and I felt like he was directing me out of the store. Nobody else was in there so it wasn't like I was making a scene or throwing him under the bus.
Have you ever had someone get pissed off at you for pointing out the obvious?
