54 of 365TTSM - vanishing salespeople





This was the powertools helpdesk at the hardware shop this morning. Just minutes before this photo was taken, it was attended by several people. Then my significant other and I had a question we needed to ask about a power tool and they all mysteriously vanished. We saw several in the distance and as we walked towards them, they all seemed to somehow move further away from us. Several times we turned to speak to one we saw out of the corner of our eyes, only for it to turn out to be an apparent trick of the light. Finally, by each of us walking in opposite directions of a circle, we managed to trap one between us. By his greying hair and look of general experience, we considered we'd made a pretty good catch. "Does this router have a half inch collet?" we asked. "I don't know," he replied. We gave up and bought it anyway.
