Gold. :tup:
a lot of those sound really made-up
Have you ever done time in retail? People are retarded. It’s amazing.
I have worked in retail, I realize how stupid people can be, but i still think a lot are embellished.
I think you are underestimating how dumb people are.
(A man walks up to my register with his wife, they have a few items, one of which is a broom.)
Me: “How are you guys today?”
Husband: “Oh, we’re good.”
(The husband takes the broom and places it on counter, then stares at his wife).
Wife: “What?”
Husband: “Are you sure you’re going to fit on this?”
Outstanding.
Agreed with newman, and I’m pretty sure you can see any movie you want as long as you have someone over 17 buy the tickets.
I can believe this… I worked at a corn maize and people used to ask me how the corn got there…
great site!
I would agree that a bunch are embellished…
Have you ever had to talk to people that work in retail?
Its amazing how stupid they can be.
I have actually been told by a 90 year old man that his cup holder broke. He was serious.
He bought a computer and hired someone to use it. He didn’t even know what the mouse was, as if he had never even seen a computer before it arrived at his store. The guy he hired quit because the 90 year old man was un-trainable. He wanted to sell his old inventory on eBay because his grandson told him about it. Imagine trying to explain eBay when the person you’re talking to doesn’t know what a mouse or keyboard is for…
He snapped off the CD tray because he was literally using it to put his coffee on it.
People. Are. This. Stupid. Newman.

Hard Drugs And Harder Pharmacists
Pharmacy | Mount Holly, NJ, USA
(A teen approaches my cash register very slowly.)
Me: “Can I help you?”
Customer: “Gimme all the f***ing medicine!”
(Teen pulls out an airsoft pistol with orange tip still glued to the front.)
Me: “The pharmacy is in the back of the store.”
Customer: “Oh…okay.”
(He holsters the air-soft gun in his belt and darts down the aisles to the back of the store. My manager comes out of the back room because of the commotion.)
Manager: “Who was that?”
Me: “Some kid looking for drugs. He went back to the pharmacy.”
Manager: “Why didn’t you call the police?”
(The teen runs screaming from the back of the store out of the front door followed closely by the pharmacy technician, a 35 year old boxer built like a fridge.)
Me: “Doug started working today.”
http://www.overheardinnewyork.com/ is better.
I didnt laugh at any of those.
yea… theres probably more crap/lies than truth there.
All for the sake of entertainment. I still got some lol’s at a bunch. I don’t really care if half are embellished.
(I get a call from a new renter with whom I had signed a lease contract with the previous night.)
Me: “Thanks for calling [apartments]! How may I help you?”
Renter: “My name is *** and I just signed the lease last night. I want to cancel it.”
Me: “Cancel? I’m sorry, but the lease is a binding contract between yourself and the management company as we discussed.”
Renter: “What! I don’t want it! Just cancel it!”
Me: “Well, there are some options. We can try to rent the apartment to another tenant to end your lease early, or, if you happen to qualify for a job or military transfer–”
Renter: “I can’t believe you’re doing this to me. I can’t believe that in the United States of America, I can sign a legal document, and not get out of it!” hangs up
:picard:
my own, from back when i used to slang pies:
me: thank you for calling ************** how may i help you?
customer: yeah, what kind of pizza/wing specials do you have?
me: what size pizza do you want?
customer: sheet pizza.
me: well, we have a sheet and 30 special and a sheet and 50 special.
customer: i’ll take the sheet and 30 special.
me: ok, what do you want on the pizza?
customer: pepperoni.
me: and the wings?
customer: how many come with that?
me: what?
customer: how many wings come with that?
me: uh, 30.
customer: ok, i’ll take half medium, half hot, and half bbq.
me: (completely understanding what she meant) you can’t do that.
customer: what?
me: you can’t do that. you can’t have 3 halves. it’s mathematically impossible. i think you meant to divide into thirds.
customer: what?
me: never mind. what’s the phone number?..
You should have given her 15 medium, 7 hot, 7 bbq and 1 hot & bbq.
“Lady that is as close to half/half/half you can get!”
