A 'lady' beckoned me over for some help, so off I went to offer her some assistance. She'd got a pair of curtains but the fittings were hooks and rings, and she wanted eyelets.
Her: Yeah, so I really like these curtains but I wanted eyelets. How do you use these rings? Will they fit my pole?
Me: Yes, the rings will fit. All you need are some hooks.
Her: Hooks? Erm...
So I explained to her how to use the hooks, and that all she needs to buy are the hooks and the rings, and she's all set. She just looked at me like I was stupid and then said:
Her: OMG, you don't have a bloody clue do you?
I was gobsmacked. Yes. Yes I do have a bloody clue actually. You're the one who doesn't seem to understand that hooks are actually a thing. She even thought the rings came attached to the curtains.
And then she asked if there was someone else who actually knew what they were talking about. So I got my colleague. Who told her the exact same thing I did. I relished in this as I kept saying things like "Yes, so as I explained to you before" etc etc etc, because I'm sorry but to be treated like I'm stupid is just not on and I'm not having it.
She just went red in the face, said "I'll just stick to eyelets, it's easier" and skulked away.
