    Text - HesherPiney 1384 points 5 hours ago* Once in middle school, I simply could not get the concept of the phrase "The day after tomorrow" through to a kid. He couldn't wrap his mind around it. Edit. It's swell that many of you know the word overmorrow. l am proud of you. This incident was decades ago. I won't be sharing overmorrow with him any time.

It was so hot and I (maybe 10 years old at the time) had to explain to the 40 year old counselor that the "air conditioning" they were feeling was the wind coming in through the bus drivers open window.

    Text - Suzanne_Marie 11335 points 4 hours ago I locked my purse with my keys and cell phone in my apartment. I went to the office to ask maintenance to let me in. The woman at the desk said she would call maintenance and asked for a phone number they could reach me at. I said there wasn't one because my cell phone was locked in my apartment. She insisted she needed a number. I said I could give her the number but that I wouldn't be able to answer if they called. She suggested I get my phone out

    Text - kolbyrdenham 11977 points 4 hours ago I worked at a pet store in college. This customer asked me which food would make his pit bull "swole." I suggested a high protein food with a good amount of exercise but advised that a lot of it was determined by the dog's genetics. He asked me if we sold genetics.

    Text - mythirdpersonality 3719 points 5 hours ago I worked at a meat desk for a summer job, and a woman came in and asked if we had any meat without spices or sauces. She then proceeded to tell us that "the doctor" had said that her dogs got sick because she kept feeding them pizza and they couldn't handle the spices. She then said "oh but they love pizza so much, I feel bad for them. I'm probably still gonna feed them pizza"

    Text - lauraligator 21372 points 5 hours ago I once worked in a midwestern grocery store deli and I was trying to explain to a woman that the name brand and generic brand of the macaroni salad that we carried were in fact identical.
