What Happens Next: A Gallimaufry

so I just bought a new laptop, and this happened

  • salesdude: it's a pretty good deal you're getting; we've only had that one in for about a week.
  • me: yeah, I noticed! it was the only laptop anywhere near that price range with two terabytes.
  • salesdude, looking askance at me: two terabytes is really a lot, though. you know, it's two thousand gigs-
  • me: I actually know what a terabyte is.
  • salesdude: yeah, but do you really need that much? I mean, I've got one terabyte on mine, and I'm still only using about a hundred gigs.
  • me: my current laptop has 800 gigs, and I'm using over 600. with the rate I'm using space, I'd be worried about maxing out at one.
  • salesdude: *confused, embarrassed staring*
  • me: also, I like to game, but my old laptop isn't much good for the newer stuff.
  • salesdude: *confused, embarrassed staring continues*
  • me: ...
  • salesdude, registering my purchase: so, uh, I need your details for the direct debit - is that miss or mrs? [note: this is an open box, not choosing from a dropdown; the options aren't automatically restricted]
  • me: it's mx.
  • salesdude: huh?
  • me: em-ex. mx.
  • salesdude: okayyy...
  • salesdude: *confused, embarrassed staring for the rest of the purchase, though otherwise polite*
  • me, internally: oh my GOD
