I was reminded of this thread this afternoon,.. er,.. yesterday afternoon.
At Farm and Fleet when I was looking at air compressors this scrawny little thing walked up & was looking at the little "I'm not a real man who uses air tools but I might occasionally need to top off my bicycle tires" oilless pancake compressors.
This kid was probably 5 ft 3", 100 lbs, early 20's, full Abraham Lincoln beard, wearing skinny jeans, large "gauge" earrings, neon green tennis shoes and one of those French painter type hats.
He was the poster child for hipster. I mean his hipster was so excessive it was oozing out of his skin.
In my peripheral vision I could tell he kept looking back & forth between me and the toy air compressors.
I was thinking "don't start talking to me PLEASE".
Sure enough, the little dork asked me if this particular compressor he was looking at would be enough to run an airbrush.
Seriously? The damn thing was just a little toy with maybe a one gallon tank but it said 125 psi on it. How much do you need for an airbrush? Like 3 psi?
I said "yeah it's definitely enough"
He's probably at home right now painting dragons on his jewelry box.
And vaping.
