Ha ha Garp, that reminds me of a classic:
When I worked on the BT connect helpdesk, we would have a regular call from a guy who had an ISDN router (provided by BT). It would regularly go down, but because he wanted it logged how many times it went down he would call every time. This one day he rang in and I asked him to do a few more checks than norm (like serial and production number as I wanted to get it changed out) anyway, he puts me on hold for about 10 minutes. When he comes back he is a bit sheepish and tells me he managed to solve the problem of why it wasn't connecting today.... Someone had broken into his comms room and stolen all the kit including a new Compaq server....

Me : *reaches over my shoulder and grabs a roll of Duct tape from the 6 foot high display* Customer #2 : Hi, do you sell <insert item description>? Me : You mean what's in your hand? Customer #2 : *looking sheepish* And the top one of all!! Customer #3 : I CAN'T FIND MY CHILD!! Me : Please try to calm down, what does the little tyke look like? Customer #3 : *describes their child* Me : Um, you mean the one that's asleep in your shopping trolley? Customer #3 : *smacks forehead*

Hahaha!
When my best friend's eldest son was only a week old she went out shopping with him for the first time. She was happily browsing the aisles when a customer announcement kept coming on asking for the person who'd left a baby in one of the aisles in their buggy could move it. She said she thought 'What a terrible parent! Fancy leaving your baby in...OH MY GOD, DANIEL!'

There's a guy at work who says things that you couldn't make up. All of a sudden one day:
Him: Would you try breast milk? Me: Um... I guess, don't see why not. My supervisor: Yeah, I'd give it a go. Him: That's strange, I mentioned it to my friends the other day and they all thought I was weird. Maybe it was because I was talking about my sister's... I kind of laughed, and spluttered, and just didn't know what to say. Odd chap.

One of my favourites from when I worked in a builders merchants/DIY shop:
Customer (on phone) - "How much paint do I need to paint my roof?" Stan - "I have no idea sir, do you know the surface area of your roof?" Customer - *It's about the same size as a council house." Stan - *Sighs*

My work just rang me up and asked if I wanted to work tonight.
I think that was a pretty stupid question. It's my first day off in ages, leave me alone!!!! |
