testing 1 2, testing 1....%#*&

I'm in wally world the other day and some dude who's clueless on rods breaks it at the third guide while bending it....lol. While at CMS today it happens again. I see this guy bending the crap out of an allstar, I thinkin that suxa is going to break, grabing the blank around the second guide he's doing a Ugly stick commerical. Sure as chit it happened around the third flex. The owner happened to be at the register he was not happy to say the least. There was an exchange of words and the dude and his son left pissed. Its kinda like dry fireing a bow in a busy archery shop,,sounds like a 22 went off and you could own an expensive bow.......feel wicked cheap! LMAO.

If I question a rods action or maybe it has no #'s I will just place the tip on the ground and apply gentle pressure....asking helps too.

Is there a better way?
