You just can't help some people...

So I was in my local Best Buy on Tuesday picking up 30 Days of Night. Big A-hole looking guy comes in with is wife/girlfriend following behind. In a sense of entitlement sort of way he jumps in front of me when I was browsing the Blu shelves pick the cases up, turning them over and examining the boxes like it confused him. Which I believe it might have.. After a few minutes an associate came over and he said Hey... Where are the High Def movies, she watches a lot of movies and we want to use our new TV to get a better picture. The poor little kid said.. we'll you're looking at some of them there. A-hole guy says no, not that Sony only format, the one that's like a DVD only better picture and that I can buy something to add to my X-box. The kid then shows him the drive he needs to buy and the movie section. The entire time I had both the little devil and angel on my shoulders saying let the A-hole blow his money vs. do the nice thing and tell him about the current state of HD vs. Blu. The nice angel won so with is $99 Xbox add on in his hand and at least 7 HD's, so far, while looking for more, I politely interrupted him and told him he might want to reconsider, the format is on it's way out, no manufactures, not studios the standard stuff. His lady, with her beaten dog sort of look, said to A-hole maybe we should look into it. He said thanks to me and continued browsing the section. When I finally walked up to the counter he had 15 HD DVD's plus the xbox add in. In my head played out a scene where a month from now he blames her for wanting high def and how he wasted his money.

Just thought some of you might get a kick out of the story.
