High end shop, popular racing team as well. Walked in and asked the sales guy about MTB tires. Encountered this guy a few times before, freaking annoying guy, looks well educated and, dresses like a lawyer in court and acts like he knows everything. I just want a feakin' tire so I figure this guy can't be too much of a smart ass today.
Lawyer wannabe bike shop dude: Can I help you?
Beanz: I need a 26 MTB tire, a 2.1 inch
Lawyer wannabe bike shop dude: A What?
Beanz: 26 MTB tire, a 2.1 inch
Lawyer wannabe bike shop dude: WTH is a 2.1 inch?
Beanz: A freakin' tire that is 2 inches and one tenth wide
Lawyer wannabe bike shop dude: Oh, you mean a Two Point One
Beanz: That's what I said
Lawyer wannabe bike shop dude: No you said a 2.1 inch wide tire
Beanz: WTF do you think 2.1 means?
Lawyer wannabe bike shop dude: It has nothing to do with inches
Beanz: WTF! The tire measures 2.1 inches, it's all freaking math dude!
Lawyer wannabe bike shop dude: Has nothing to do with math, it's bike lingo
Beanz: Bike lingo? 2.1 is all about math, get a ruler dude, the tire measures 2 inches and one tenth, 2 inches and 100 thousandths, whatever you want to call it, it's the width of the tire and it's all about the math.
Lawyer wannabe bike shop dude: Nothing to do with math, it's bike lingo, you want a two point one or a two point two, nothing to do with math.
Beanz: Do you have freaking two inch and a tenth tire or not?!
I swear it was like Monthy Python's argue department, I never went back after that!
