"I hope you die" is not a death threat.

Justin, you are going to die.

Above: not a death threat.

There would be a possible serious injury threat spouted from between my twitching lips if I caught you trying to steal my Cervelo, but that is to be expected in such situations.

Cervelos: serious business.

Dear Rogelio,

Please don't remind me of my mortality. I was doing perfectly well deluding myself.

Sincerely,
-Justin

According to my internet sources;

"The employees are snobby douchebags."



Here's how it really went down;

Burton; "Yes, hello sir, I am here to pick up my Cervelo, I have a coupon."

Hip and cool dude #1; "Phhff as IF poser, yeah well whatever I'm like, helpin' my bro tune his sweet fixie I dunno where your bike is k bra?"

Burton; "Hmm well this concerns me you see, I've invested quite a bit of money on this particular bicycle, and thus and anxious to get it back. How long until you can assist me by looking?"

Hip and cool dude #1; "oh my god dude, can you like, chill I mean, what are you like, Armstrong or sumthin? Why don't you go like, check out the squid gear you squid wanna be phff!! /high-five"

Hip and cool dude #2; "Yeah man, Im sure its like, not stolen or anything"

Burton; "Oh my, if someone tried to steal my bike I'd probably kill 'em! Am i rite?"

Hip and cool crowd; 'WHAAA KILL?!? LIKE, DUDE YOU NEED TO CHILL K?"

[A even more hip and cool dude enters]

Even more hip and cool dude; "hey man, I like, work here, can I help you"

Burton; "Yes these shit talking punks are fucking annoying WHERE MY BIKE AT Y'ALL?! *sniff* you guys are dicks! I'm leaving!"

[Group high-five]

Hip and Cool group; "Who want's Americanos!?!"

bikesnob, of course, has something to say on the subject again today:

"...it's important to remember that purchasing a high end crabon fribé road bicycle is a major undertaking and a serious commitment. In fact, it's a lot like a marriage. Sure, to some small degree a marriage is about making a lifelong commitment to another human being, but mostly it's about obsessing over meaningless details and surrounding yourself with teams of professionals whose job it is to endure your temperamental outbursts and interpret your tyrannical whims."

like a marriage except a marriage isn't irrevocably broken when you get drunk and lay it down less than gently.

yeah, if I paid 4 grand for a bike I would kind of expect someone to be kissing my ass more than a little. (but if i had 4 grand to blow on a bike i'd probably be a dick too)
