They have to be the bete noire of any 5. Come in soaked from the pouring rain and some lady {showing her s' skills?] asks "Is it raining?" Good answer? No, I just took a shower. How about the guy living with a girl? He puts the key in the lock and opens the door and she says "Is that you?" Good answer? No its ME. And how about the sort of man who sees a woman pick up something that weighs under 10 pounds and asks her "Is that too heavy for you?" Good answer? ---- ---!
I personally walk out of any store that has a salesperson come up to me and ask "Can I help you?" If I wanted help, I can spot the sales help even in my deteriorated n state but the fun is in finding the item myself and not hearing helpful suggestions or unwanted forced cheery talk. "Help" to me translates to soft or maybe hard sell and the item should sell itself plus I am resistant to suggestion being that I'm a wannabe rugged individualist.
Some people need help in a store. By and large the same ones that ask the stupid questions.
