Has this ever happened to you?
The last two times I have bought running shoes (different stores, Running Room Woodbury and Run n' Fun) I have experienced a customer service quirk. I ask the person if I can try "these," (Nike Air Zoom Vomero 2, both times) in a 10.5. They say sure, go to the back, and return with the shoes in a different color than the one I pulled from the wall.
Is this some type of secret test?
Like, if I say, "um yeah these, but do you have the blue ones?" they are going to snatch back the shoes, call me a poser for caring about something other than arch support and send me to FootLocker amidst a roar of laughter.
Anyway, next time we run together don't ask me if I have jumped on the Cleveland Cavalier bandwagon. I just ended up with the magenta and gold because I didn't want to blow it.

What the hell are you talking about? Get whatever color you want, they probably just grabbed the model and didn't look at the color. You are completely overthinking this one.
But I know what you are saying, although running stores are much less intimidating than bike stores. (yes, I suck at your sport, I know)
Sometimes at Run and Fun they will ask me if I want the older model, which I generally don't care about, so I go with it because they are 30% off.
Note to self: Jack not looking for humor on Cocktails and Spandex. Future posts should be informative/inspirational. Got it.
I can't get it right either. Are the ironman video posts fun or inspirational?
This shit made me laugh out loud. So did Tracy. Love the humor. Keep it coming.
glad to see cocktails revitalized. appreciate the humor (wasn't Jack's email supposed to be funny?).
i think you are all right until you start matching shoes, shorts, shirt, hat but maybe that is just me. this morning on the trainer i rocked a pair of yellow socks, red spandex and grey (too small) shirt. i think the neighbors appreciated the get up when i was bringing the garbage out.
Humor. Is it all that is cracked up (no pun intended) to be? When the laughter subsides, don't you just feel empty inside, already thinking about where your next laugh is going to come from? I mean, who is more pathetic, the meth head or the funny guy?
It is a dangerous road you people are going down. And frankly, I will not partake or enable your downward spiral.
