What a bunch of useless expletives.

I went to buy a computer chair and firewall thingy.

There were no trolleys so I asked if there were any

" Dunno, could be "
" Over there somewhere "

Etc etc

Fat men talking to each other and when I ask for help they look at me as if I'd just raped their mother.

A more accurate PC World conversation would be:

ME: Excuse me can you tell me where to find *Insert name here*?
THEM: ...Yes... just a minute. *Disappears*

PC World, Newport Rd in Cardiff are like that.

Yet you could easily stick the shop model laptop in your car and drive off before they've climbed off of their chairs.

The staff in PC world are amusing.

Question:
"What do I need to be able to connect 2 PCs and an Xbox to a broadband connection? I currently have a USB broadband modem."

Staffie 1
"It's impossible."

Staffie 2
"It'll cost around £300"

I was rather amused by their lack of knowledge.

In the end I asked my brother's mate who is a PC. He knew exactly what I needed and it didn't even cost half of what 'staffie 2' said it would.

Or get my dad, who swears at them and tells them to pass off because we're eating our dinner and we've got everything we need.

Cold callers are easy. You just say 'tell me more!' and walk off leaving the phone off the hook.
