Oh god, that's awful! BF had a similar problem a while ago in the shop but
with age. He works in a hardware shop and knows *loads* about power tools.
He was serving some stupid woman who was buying power tools for her husbands
birthday. He was trying to convince her that the one she'd chosen wouldn't
so the jobs she's said he wanted it for and that she needed to either buy
the next better model or better, to buy him gift vouchers (like buying a
sewing machine for someone really). She was having none of it so she said
"let's see what your collegue thinks shall we?" and asked the other guy
working there who admits he knows nothing about the power tools. Heh.
Shebought the cheap one. And came back the next day with her husband and
exchanged it for the next model up.

Some people think age = knowledge apparently.

Age has nothing to do with it. Experience is the key - coupled with
intelligence: together they make joined up thinking.
