Me: I don't know, I think so.
Lady: Oh, it's just because this one is my favorite.
Me: These computers are all the same.
Lady: Mmmmm, no... I like this one the best. (said as if I should have known better) Me: (looks around the room at the completely identical and unoccupied Dell Optiplexes)
Lady: So are you going to get up?
Me: No.
