As you'll already know, we're living through one of those moments when everyone's obsessed with vinyl again. You can even buy it in the supermarket! Imagine that! Buying consumer goods from a huge shop which sells an absolutely massive array of of consumer goods! Mad, isn't it?While most of us prefer to live our live our lives as digitally as possible, occasionally we'll make a foray into the world of physical.

Unfortunately most of the people you'll meet in record shops are people you'd never want to meet anywhere else. They're the home of the maladjusted and the awkward, the confrontational and the uncomfortable. If you're planning on spending time in them now you're in the midst of a vinyl phase, here's a field guide to the 10 kinds of dudes you're definitely going to meet in every shop you step in.
1. THE DAD WHO WAS QUITE TRENDY IN HIS DAY HE'LL HAVE YOU KNOW ACTUALLY BUT IS NOW DESPERATE TO MAKE HIS FORMER TRENDINESS OBVIOUS TO THE POINT WHERE IT'S REALLY EMBARRASSING
2. THE CONSUMMATE PROFESSIONAL
3. THE FRESHERS WHO DON'T ACTUALLY BUY ANYTHING BUT JUST LOITER AND LEAVE WITH THE FREE MAGAZINES
4. THE BLOKE WHO DEFINITELY MAYBE MIGHT HAVE ACTUALLY JUST PISSED HIMSELF
5. THE NEW CUSTOMER WHO REALLY WANTS TO IMPRESS THE LADS BEHIND THE TILL BUT GETS BRUTALLY REBUFFED AND NEARLY WALKS OUT CRYING
