I had a friend who infuriated me as every single time he bought something, he'd ask: "Is that the best you can do?" It didn't matter if it was a high end store, or if he was at at a swap meet. The only place he wouldn't embarrass me was at a restaurant. It was always done with direct eye contact followed by a heavy sigh. Kind of a pantomime. He would fit right in here with this discussion.
