(A customer comes up to me with a knitted poncho.)

Customer: “Excuse me, is this 100% wool?”

Me: “No, it’s 100% acrylic.”

Customer: “Are you sure? It feels like wool.”

Me: “It does, but it is acrylic. I saw the tag before it came off.”

Customer: “But it feels so much like the scarf I’m wearing right now, and that one is 100% wool. It even smells like wool. Smell it!”

Me: “Um, my nose isn’t good enough to distinguish between wool and acrylic. I’m sorry.”

Customer: “No, smell it! Then, smell my scarf.” *sniffs both the poncho and scarf* “See, they smell the same.”

Me: “Okay, I’ll take your word for it.”

Customer: “No, smell my scarf. Smell it!”

Me: “Uh…”

Customer: “SMELL MY SCARF!”
