Really?

One of my pet peeves is people who are misinformed or not informed at all. Sometimes they can't help it, they're just idiots. There's no nicer way to put it. An even bigger pet peeve is people who know (or should know) the information and fail to tell the misinformed. I mean, what the heck?!

So Tom and I went to Petsmart Saturday to look around. This happens pretty regularly. :) Anywho. I eavesdropped on a conversation between a customer and a Petsmart employee in the fish section. They just so happened to be by the live bearer tanks I was looking at. The old woman (customer) wanted a pleco. And 3 black mollies. And 3 dalmatian mollies. OK, sounds like a reasonable days purchase for me and my 55 gallon tank. Here's where things go sour. Very few Petsmart employees can sex the fish in their store. This one (a girl) could not or just did not. My guess is on the latter. She sent the woman home with at least 4 male mollies. Bad news for the 1-2 females not to mention male dominance issues. Poor girls. :( AND failed to remind the woman that the pleco can reach 18 inches. No wait! It gets worse. The woman only has a 10 gallon tank! AND it already has neon tetras and platies in it! Where are these new fish going to live lady?! Poor things don't have a chance.
