Funny story, I was at the mall with my girlfriend the other day. I was after laces. Fat ones. We walked into foot locker and the guy jumped me like a used car salesman. "What are you looking for?" He asked eagerly. I was half tempted to say "Shoes, dumbass." I refrained. "Superstars" My girlfriend said. The salesman's eyes lit up as he directed me to the wall with supes on it. They were nothing special. Same common colourways. I was just there to get laces. "Anything particular you're looking for?" The salesman asked me. I laughed. I knew I wanted the all black with red stripes. I also knew those were really hard to find, but I told him anyway. He said "Oh, yeah we haven't had those for a while." What he said next was quite possibly the dumbest thing I have ever heard. He said "You know, you could always get these (the all black with white stripes) and just paint the stripes with a sharpie marker." I was so surprised I could barely think. Did he really think that was a good idea? Regardless, I needed laces so I ignored his dumbass comment and made my way to the laces. I bought two pair, one black, one white.
I walked out of there and my girlfried and I had a hearty laugh at his suggestion. Color your supes with a sharpie? Was he fucking serious? What some assholes will say to try to get a sale, I swear.

Anyone else have a funny experience with someone who obviously didn't know they were dealing with a superstar expert?
