My turn. Working in Homeless Depot tool department. Saturday, guy buys a pnuematic nail gun, not from me. But he was there for a while, wanted one that would shoot a variety of nails, not doing a roof...blah blah blah. Gets a decent gun.

Sunday morning, a guy calls - "Hey, this nail gun I bought yesterday doesn't work!!" Ok sir, what kind is it? "It's a Porter Cable pneumatic nail gun, model number 1234" OK and what type of compressor do you have it hooked up to? Silence... "compressor??" Yes sir, the little nipple on the end of the handle is a fitting so you can hook it up to a hose running from an air compressor. "oh, I'll be in later to get one I guess" My co-worker suggested that next time that happens, we tell the customer to blow really hard into the nipple fitting. The dept manager was not amused, or so he said when he quit laughing.

I'm the end of the boomer gen, more or less, and this guy was squarely in gen X. Wonder if he ever watched HGTV?
