Haruo Suekichi, Watchmaker Extraordinaire:

I went in to one store and showed them a watch, trying to ask if they had that kind of material for sale, and the guy says to me, “Oh fuck you! Come on!” and I was like, “Huh? ‘Fuck you’?” And then he turns to his friend and say, “Look at this fucking crazy watch this mother fucker made!” And I was like, “Why are they calling me a mother fucker?” But really, they had bad mouths but they were super, super nice.
