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.”

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?..
