    Font - Sparky-Malarky · 2 days ago Not me, my daughter. She answered the phone, appropriately, "Radiology." Guy on the phone was looking for some test results, but she couldn't find his name, or his wife's name anywhere. Long confusing call. Finally she asks for the name of the animal. "What animal? I'm asking about my wife's test!" "Sir, this is a veterinary hospital."

    Font - Overrated_22 · 2 days ago 3 My wife was doing an interview and the interviewer asked her “How she would handle a situation if there was an Elephant in the room." Not being familiar with the phrase she proceeded to describe in detail all the things she would consider to help get the Elephant out of the room. The interviewers allowed her to finish and she didn't realize it until she told me about it later

I ask him "What exactly would you like to order?" He instantly gets disgruntled with me for not reading his god damn mind and shakes his finger at the coupon and said “Well Whatever is on the coupon, obviously!?" in a condescending tone. I just look at him for a minute an say word for word "Sir, this is McDonald's. I do

    Font - Faelwolf - 2 days ago Former police/emergency dispatcher. People would call for all sorts of things, like settling an argument over the rules of Monopoly or other board games, answers to crossword puzzles, complaints about the weather, etc. My favorite over the years: "The power's out, can you have the fire department come over and hook up a generator? I need to watch the ballgame."

    Font - spiderlegged - 2 days ago I worked in the tech department of my university's library. Some guy called and asked who he needed to contact to donate his body to the medical school when he died. I was like 20, and I had no idea how to respond especially since the medical school is another campus. I explained to him that he needed to contact the medical school, and he told me he already had. I was like... okay... I can't really help you. This is the tech service department of the library. I w

    Font - pnwrdh · 2 days ago I used to work at a drive through coffee stand. Two guys came through, clearly high af, asking for cheeseburgers. We explained that this is a coffee stand, we have breakfast sandwiches, but if they want cheeseburgers they'll have to go down the street to jack in the box. It took them a solid 5 minutes if us re-explaining this to them before they understood. Another time it was super early in the morning, working at the same coffee stand. A woman rolls up and it legit l

    Font - SabinaDrumm - 2 days ago This is really weird that this became a meme, because I swear this is true. In about 95 I was driving from New England to Florida for a college spring break trip. Somewhere in South Carolina we stopped at a Wendy's. near the hallway to the bathrooms they had a big map of South Carolina and I said to a person "can you tell me where we are?" I was pretty clearly indicating the map. The lady said ."Honey, ... you in the Wendy's!"

    Font - killerkebab1499 · 2 days ago · edited 2 days ago Not exactly what you asked but I've had a 'sir this isn't the 70's' moment. Bloke sent his kid, no older than 14 into the shop I was working at to buy him cigarettes, twice. The first time I told him he needed ID, about an hour later he came back with a fu 'king note, like that would make any difference and 10 mins after that the guy came in and had a go at me. Like it was my fault that his son wasn't legal. I tried explaining that I would'

    Font - TheRealGlenn - 2 days ago Before AutoShack was forced to rename themselves Autozone, I worked at RadioShack and somebody tried to exchange spark plugs. He was upset and was more upset when I told him we don't sell spark plugs. He got a little nasty until I told him to look around. Now you know why RadioShack had to make AutoShack to change their name. They even used the same colors and font on their signs.

    Font - randomkeystrike · 2 days ago I worked at a screen printing shop. We usually did the local baseball league uniforms. A team mom came to our office and complained for several minutes about how bad the uniforms had turned out. When I finally got a chance to speak, I told her that we had been outbid that year and where she could find the company that did her uniforms.

    Font - Hiddencamper · 2 days ago I work at a nuclear power plant. A few years ago, the control room emergency phone number got out. We get a call on the emergency line. One of the reactor operators picks it up “xxx power station emergency line" He hears a click. Then some dude is asking if we want to upgrade our home security system. The reactor operator is like "do you have like, microwave or infrared detectors? Oh no, we do. Do you have an option for hand geometry scanners". This goes on for a

    Font - KeckyOK · 2 days ago S One time I was out with my friends at night and I was reaalllly high. We stopped in to get some pizza at a place that sold by the slice and always had a heated rack full of slices at the front counter. I got my slice and went to pay for it and they refused my cash, so I took out my debit card and said I can pay on debit, and they refused that too. Then I heard it loud and clear, "I'm telling you again; you can have the pizza for free**, we're** closing!"

    Font - CaimansGalore - 2 days ago - edited 2 days ago In the US when you sell property, you have to provide your social security number to the attorney/closing firm for tax reporting purposes. I was at the table and noticed we didn't have our seller's social yet, so I asked him to fill out the appropriate form. He scribbled on it and slid it back to me, all power-move like. He had written "N/A do not recognize sovereignty of U.S." He was dead serious. Luckily he had already signed paperwork allo

About five more minutes went by and I heard him say, "uh... I think I'm actually at the wrong bank..." And the teller just says "well that would make sense why I can't find your account...

    Font - ReactionEuphoric5362 · 2 days ago I use to work for a politician. We had an ice cream shop next door. Every day, especially in good weather, people would March into my office and get annoyed I wasn't serving ice cream. The doors were right next to each other. Some people came in and pretended they did it on purpose. I gave all the nice people pens or pins or things.

    Font - NerfRepellingBoobs - 2 days ago I'm a massage therapist. Most people don't talk during their sessions, but every now and then, I get a client who starts telling me their life story, including their trauma. Sometimes, I think they overlook the word massage, and just see the "therapist" part.

    Font - throwawayRA1892437 - 2 days ago Worked at a resort where the nearby mountain was so large that it had an issue with almost having its own weather system going on. It would be a clear day but the mountain wouldn't be visible and it would be surrounded by clouds. People would ask the staff when the mountain would come out. I just work here dude. I wouldn't be working here if I could control the weather surrounding a mountain.

    Font - BurghFinsFan - 2 days ago Not Wendy's, but Lowes. A guy called the pro desk and asked if he could order a pizza. I told him we're a home improvement store and he said, "but I'm hungry". Well in that case, I'll contact the CEO and ask him to change the company because Bob wants a pizza.

    Font - 2ByteTheDecker · 2 days ago Worked at a video game store in the late PS2/early 360 era; Older lady comes, looking kind of like a hippy/home school mom. She asks for... A good game for kids? I offer Lego Star wars. No, something with more reading? Before I could answer she followed up with, How about something educational? I explained that I don't think there were many educational titles on PS2 and that would be more of a PC situation. How about something that will teach them old world ski
