        Working on my DJ set for tomorrow night and it occurs to me that The Who really are utter shite and undeserving of any rock history cred.

            Quadrophenia is a unique DJ set @neph93  😃

              Not even Quadrophenia does it for me. If 1976 and punk rock made one band meaningless it was The Who. They just seem lightweight.

                  I'm probably part of the problem.

                      I absolutely hate sales associates at clothing stores that shadow me around talking about every piece that I stop and look at, or constantly asking me if I want to try something on. It only takes about 30-60 seconds of that to completely run me out of a store, to never return.

                        There's a great shop near where I live but for ^ that reason I don't go in there anymore. Bloody annoying.

                          Yeah, I could be at a shop that has shell cordovan engineer boots made from unicorn butt cheeks on sale for $1, and I would have to leave before completing  the purchase…..

                                  I never came across another person who hates it too, lol. Here all this time, my friends, family, and girlfriends have made me feel like I'm some kind of mean old troll that's angry and bothered by someone who is simply "doing their job"

                                    Doing their job whilst, at the same time, spoiling my experience !! I have come to expect this behaviour from some sales assistants and have learnt to say to them "Thanks but I'm just looking right now. Will come to you if I have any questions or need your assistance" If they then don't allow me my time and space then I'm gone  😉

                                      I don't think it's an unpopular opinion, it's like being in a Restaurant. The Service has to find the exact spot between being too present and not caring at all. What i really find annoying is when I find out after 2 sentences that the salemans knows less about a product than I do while still thinking he's the man. happened to me in bicycle & Whisky stores.

                                        ^ Agreed.  There is a real middle ground.  Can't stand being hounded at a store.  I understand the fact that for a majority of dudes, if they are in a store, it's because they are there to get the thing they came for and get out.  But some actually go in to browse.  And just because you look at something or touch it doesn't mean you want to try it on/buy it.

                                        On the other hand if I walk into a store, especially one that is not busy, and am not at least greeted soon after entering I usually turn around and walk out soon after.  It's more of a common courtesy than anything.  I don't expect or want any special treatment but I'd like to be acknowledged as someone who might want to give the store some money.

                                        Adding to Max, knowing more than the sales associate about the products they're trying to sell can get real annoying.  At some of the stores around here the best they can do is tell me the denim is selvedge.
