    There was this one guy who brought his car to the garage the other day and he said his car felt like it was driving slow and that the parking brake light kept popping up on the dashboard. So I went in to take a look and showed him that he never pulled down the handbrake. It would have been a real d-ck move to charge him for his visit & car mechanisms can be tricky to understand but Jesus Christ that had me like :SADWAYNE:

    when i used to work in a grocery store i had a lady return 2 year old chicken that she took out from her freezer and she said it tastes bad.

    had a lady who would scratch off the dates on everything or her items would always be missing the dates, caught her trying to return 5 year old rice once, hated her so much always wanted to call her out on her bs.

    Wouldn't even know where to start, got so many from years in customer service.

    Had a guy not too long ago come in late at night and ask me if the elevator is still open at this hour. Uhh yeah man...

    Have people on a very regular basis that can't figure out how to turn the lights on for their car.

    Had someone earlier this week who I had to explain directions to about 5 different times which isn't too crazy for tourists I guess, but the thing is I was just explaining how to walk about 50 feet straight ahead and take the stairs down to the 1st floor.

    f---in customers man. Most are real cool but others you just really have to wonder about at times...

    When I worked at public transportation (mostly security) a dude came to me saying 'I missed my train'. I was like yeah sucks dude. It was the last train so he expected us to bring his dumbass home.

    We told him call your family, he said my phone died. You could use ours, 'I don't know my parents number'.

    Call a cab? Don't have money.

    Call a cab and pay when you get home, ask ur parents? Nah they don't have money either

    Holy s---. Then I said wait a few hours till the first train leaves or walk. Have a good night

    What are some of the worst/dumb customers you've ever had to deal with?

    My experience (when I used to work at McDonalds)

    Customer: Can I get a sundae with chocolate on top?

    Me: So you want a fudge sundae ma'am?

    Customer: No, listen. I want a SUNDAE with CHO-CO-LATE on the top please.

    :dead:

    I used to work in IT support... I could write a book about this s---.

    1st story though. I'm at the office, setting up PCs and s---, get a call...
    WhaleWoman: my laptop has no internet and it did this morning. Is the server down or something?
    Me: server is fine. I'll just troubleshoot real quick - have you tried turning the laptop off and on?
    WhaleWoman: yes I tried that still not working.
    Me: have you tried connecting to the network manually?
    WhaleWoman: yes it just won't connect, but if I plug an Ethernet cable in it does
    (f--- me, her wifi switch is turned off on the laptop I bet)
    Me: ok check the sides of your laptop for the wifi switch, then make sure it's on and connect.
    WhaleWoman: Ive never touched that button and i beleive I'm looking at it and it's on but still nothing
    Me: ok I'll come have a look.

    Walk over to her office, pick up laptop, turn wi-fi switch on, connect to net work "here you go"
    WhaleWoman: b-b-b-b-but how did you fix it
    Me: your wi-fi switch was off, I just flicked it on.
    WhaleWoman: says some smug lol I think I'd know if that's what the problem was cause I checked. I think it's something else. Do you think you could have a look at this weird obscure program I used a week ago? I think it might.be malfunctioning the wifi
    Me: enjoy your day, send a support email if any more problems arise.

    Speaking of s--- like this, I used to work at Costco and they had the most laid back return policy ever and some definitely took advantage of it big time. I don't remember the exact rule but take cookies for example, if it was like a 24 pack of cookies you could eat 12 of them and still return it for a full refund and they had rules like that for everything. You could return a shirt you bought like 6 months ago if you wanted, not even sure you needed the receipt.

    Just can't imagine someone legit being like 'hmmmm ya know after the 11th cookie I realized these are just too stale for me.'

    It was a joke really.

    Never worked in retail or anything where I have to deal with customers on a daily basis. I'm way too impatient for that.
