Carrot peeler like god intended I'll keep my eyes peeled for one. But all hilarity aside, how different is a carrot peeler to a potato peeler? Or are you just having me on?

I hate being asked "can I help you with anything?" when you literally just walked into the shop. I actually avoid shops where they are on your back the whole time. Phone shops are amongst the worst. I needed a new phone charger the other day but I walked past four of them because I could see the predatory staff lurking in the shadows waiting to hassle me. I ordered one off Amazon in the end. If only I had the sense of self to reply 'yes, you can f**k off for ten minutes whilst I see if I actually need your help, c**t'. But instead I usually go with something generic, like 'I'm interested in a phone' and then string it out until its time to get my bus, and then just leave.

The default reply is "No, just browsing thanks" followed by looking at stuff for about 20 seconds and then walking out the shop with a slightly red face.

One has a picture of a carrot on it, the other a spud I'm joking of course, because I'm not a bender, so I use a knife to peel them and a mandalin to slice them.

I actually completed a NVQ in being a Sales Assistant, so it really irks me when people do this. So I waste their time. The correct protocol is to wait until some approaches you, before offering help, or is clearly confused or seeming lost (for example hovering etc). Not when they've walked through an open door.
