'The guy wanted that go-kart': Go-kart employee stunned by oblivious customer's odd request

Never underestimate a customer's ability to be ridiculous. They'll always surprise you with new ways to misunderstand simple things. U/N1k1B1k1e understands that all too well after a Saturday night run-in with a baffling customer. 

The person sharing this story writes that they worked at an underground go-kart arena. Some people in the comments section seemed confused by this phrasing. But it's exactly what it sounds like: you head to an underground race track where go-karts zip around at top speed. If you've ever been to a regular go-kart track, you know how loud it can, so putting all those loud vehicles underground makes it 100 times more deafening. It's a wonder that the employees don't lose their hearing after working there for a while! 

This employee writes that they were super busy one Saturday night when a dad and his kid came in to drive the go-karts. This dad just couldn't understand why he couldn't drive the kart he wanted. He threw a fit over it like a toddler, so the employee finally gave in and gave this goofy dad exactly what he was demanding. 

Check out this funny story of malicious compliance. Then, read about the network employee who got laid off… too bad his employer didn't get the company passwords from him first.
