I share your sentiment. For every p2p transaction I've made in the past year, I always ask if they will accept bitcoin. Sadly have been very unsuccessful. Last time I was buying pumpkins with the kids straight from the farmer. When asked if she'd accept bitcoin, dead serious replied "sorry I don't know what that is". It was hard not to laugh, but it was a reality check for me. I will never cease trying; the more people ask the sooner vendors will accept.
