OMG yes. I swear, Best Buy only hires boys who have yet to experience the real world wherein not all gamers and computer geeks are 18-25-year-old males.

I've had some seriously annoying experiences there. Once I was buying RAM to put in the new computer I'd just bought, and the guy, who was maybe all of 19, says, "Are you planning to put this in yourself?" in a tone that implied I was going to shove it into the DVD drive and then wonder why it didn't work. I wanted to say, "Bitch, I've been working on computers since you were playing with your Fisher-Price tape recorder." But I didn't.

Another time I was looking for a wireless modem to plug into my laptop because the onboard wireless had croaked, and this employee who had asked if he could help me started trying to explain to me in a very careful tone, "Well, you see, a wireless modem will let your computer receive the wireless signals from your router." I got annoyed and rather meanly went into great detail about how I'd recently upgraded the RAM in my laptop, replaced the keyboard and installed a second hard drive. I stopped when his eyes glazed over. I felt bad later, but I don't like being patronized.

I'm done venting.
