Went to Micro Center yesterday and the cable management aisle made me rage quit

I was just looking for some velcro ties and instead I'm dodging people who think zip ties are a final solution. There was a guy literally arguing with an employee about why he needed 100ft of ethernet cable for his apartment. How do you guys keep your cool in those stores without snapping?

Oh man, Micro Center is basically a stress test for patience. I heard someone say that store is designed like a maze on purpose to make you impulse buy, and honestly I believe it. I was there last week and saw a guy asking for help building a $5k PC but he got mad because the worker suggested he go with an AMD chip instead of Intel. Like buddy, you came here for advice but you don't actually want it. Zip ties as a final solution though, that's a good way to describe the vibe. I just put headphones in and pretend I'm on a solo mission, grab what I need and get out before the chaos drags me in.

Man, just buy a prebuilt and save yourself the headache.

Yeah, "save yourself the headache" applies to most things people insist on doing themselves.
