Normally I really try not to be one of those wine snobs when people come into the winery. I'm pretty understanding. I mean come on, there's a whole lot I still don't know about wine! Sometimes it's harder than others though, like when they are just straight up MORONS and it has NOTHING to do with wine.
Stupid Bitch: Do you have a map of Eastern Washington Wineries?
Me: Oh, yeah sure do. Here you go! There are several great wineries in this area and I encourage you to check them out.
Stupid Bitch's Husband: What about Western Washington Wineries?
Me (trying not to get irritated): Well, being on the Eastside of Washington I don't have a map of their wineries or anything, but I know that business is booming over there and when you get there I'm sure you can ask around and find a directory similar to this one.
SB (Picking up Washington Winery topography map): Ok, now Puget Sound. Where is that? It's an Island right?
Note: Picture of Puget Sound below~
Me (Really wondering about this lady now): Well, no actually Puget Sound is just the Sound itself. But you're right, sometimes people will refer to the area around it as the "Puget Sound Area".
SB: But, can you take a ferry there? Cause people have said like, "Take the Ferry to Puget Sound".
Me (Pointing out on map): Well, it's the Puget Sound Ferry. So you can take it from Seattle to Bremerton for example. It crosses the Puget Sound.
SB: Wait. I just. Ok, where is it? What's the Puget Sound on this map? Like, where is it?
Me (Losing my patience): It's the water here, the whole thing. All of the water is the Sound.
SB: Well, does it make a sound? Why do they call it that?!
Didn't we all learn what a Sound was in like the 7th grade?! Now I'm not saying I would be able to spout off the actual Webster's definition (which is HERE by the way) but I would at LEAST know it was some type of body of water. I'd really like to think that she had some sort of brain injury or something, considering she didn't get it after I explained all of that to her. But, truth be told, I think she was just fucking stupid.

But what kind of sound does it make?

This is amazing to me. It's got to be some rich city tourist thing. All of these fuckers come into Wal-Mart with this attitude like I'm dirt under their fucking shoe and that I lack intelligence because I'm in retail (granted, they may have a small point here). However, I find it uncanny that these same stupid fucks who look down their nose at me can't seem to find the toilet paper that's right behind them when they ask, "Can you tell me where the toilet paper is." I want to say, "Yeah, don't turn around or it will actually bite you in the ass, tool."
Although I agree with your point DB, I sense a lot of ANGER within you. We need to get some cocktails when I visit next month...
I'm an open book, and yes I shall partake of many mind-numbing beverages.
Maybe she missed that day in school. I used to work at Universal Studios in Florida. We actually had a woman come in one day that wanted her money back because it was too hot. It was July in Florida and Universal had forgotten to turn on the parkwide air-conditioners.
Hey, maybe it was the same woman!
I firmly believe that the same "virus" affects both road ragers and retail customers. The moment they either get into their car or enter a store they get angry and stupid. It's amazing.
So what kind of noise does it make, anyway?
as one of my awesome coworkers said: you should have told her it sounded like a Barking Dog.
