You need to edit to fix mis-spelling.

I propose, instead, that we change the spelling of the word "serious" to "seriaous" to accommodate my spelling inadequacies.

I hate it when I misplace my modifiers, especially when I need one right away. They are so expensive to replace too. Then when i find the one I lost after buying a new one, I then have two. I rarely have a use for two modifiers, so one just ends up sitting around on a shelf getting dust in all of its nooks and crannies. Then when I misplace the modifier I've been using, I have to clean the one that has been sitting on a shelf for who knows how long. Have you ever tried to clean a modifier? That is some seriaous hard work there.

Anyway, about gun counter etiquette:
1 - Never point a firearm at another person. While both of you know it is unloaded, pointing it at another individual exponentially increases the level of awkwardness. Additionally, other patrons of the establishment may see you as a threat to the salesperson and open fire on you.
2 - Making no conversation while mumbling to yourself incoherently and exhibiting random outbursts of laughter could possibly be quite disconcerting to a salesperson. Instead, you may try to make casual conversation about the firearm being examined.
3 - Show interest in possibly purchasing the firearm. Salespeople dislike standing there waiting for a "customer" to dote on the store owned firearm knowing that there will be no profit involved, especially when other customers are waiting to be served.
4 - Resist the urge to quickly leave the premises while still in possession of the firearm. Doing so may be misconstrued by the salesperson as an attempt to steal the firearm.
5 - DO NOT load the firearm while trying to negotiate a 100% discount. Doing so may cause the salesperson to become very uncomfortable. Also, as in point four, the salesperson may misconstrue this as an attempt to steal the firearm.

Well, that's about all the etiquette tips that I can think of.
