This flabbergasted sandwich shop employee wrote, "WTF is wrong with people?" as they described these two seriously strange customers. 

You aren't yourself when you're hungry, as the saying goes. That's a big reason why it's terrible to work in the food industry. You're dealing with people who are starving, and the only thing standing between them and food is you. Even if you're not to blame for their food delays or wrong orders, these customers will still take their frustrations out on you. People who are hungry are truly terrible to interact with. 

This person shared their experiences with several customers who had an ingenious method of pre-meal snacking. These people avoided being hangry by taking a bring-your-own-food approach to dining! It's very funny and so out of the blue, but as long as they didn't make a mess, there's really nothing wrong with their methods. 

Then, read an AITA that took the internet by storm: this woman wonders if she's wrong for sneaking veggies into her picky BF's dinner.

    Font - r/subway Posted by u/Subdued_Sub_Dude 21 hours ago Corn Cob Customer... WTF is wrong with people? So I've been at this a long while now and I've seen a great many things, but never before have I had to serve a guest who was so busy eating corn, from a cob, while ordering their sandwich that I had trouble comprehending what the f has gone wrong with my life.

    Font - So picture interested a young woman, at least as in her corn cob as she was in ordering, chewing away and dripping corn juice. With enough corn in her mouth to make it hard to understand her sandwich order and me, wondering if I ate the wrong m hrooms... again.

    Font - I'm gonna rank this as my number 1 strangest guest encounter, above the young woman carnival worker with a single tooth who wanted a "f ton" of black olives on her sub at 10pm... "no really" she says, "I mean a F TON"... All I could imagine was her playing ring toss with the olives on that one lone tooth, but I digress.
