I went to a store to look at carpets in Sulaymaniyyah. The guy took me upstairs and started rolling out carpets for me. I asked for a small one: he showed me one. He said it was $1500.00. I said I wanted something cheaper. How cheap? he asked me. I said: A few hundred dollars. He said: get out. Get out. I said: why are you kicking me out? Is this how you treat a customer? He said: you are not a customer. I said: if I am not a customer, what am I doing in your store? He said: you are not a customer. You are a bullshitter.
