Most Ridiculous Thing You Heard from a Customer

What is the most Ridiculous Thing You Heard from a Customer?

I was working at a pizza place when I was 16. A customer came in, and asked if the pizza sauce had tomatoes in it.

Are... you kidding me?

Wow, that customer must have been a little touched in the head.

I have not heard anything ridiculous yet, because I'm not old enough to work. I can't wait, however to see how stupid some people are.

awhile ago i was working at a grocery store bagging grocerys, and this lady is watching me bag her grocery's. After im done shes like i want those all redone in paper. she had like 2 carts worth of grocerys already in plastic. X_X

That pizza thing is really funny lol... As I am to young to work too...

Costumer: "May I have a cheesburger with chees, please?"

ive heard nearly the same thing.

customer "may i have a cheeseburger without cheese"

its like wtf?

i worked in a ONE story hotel that was horse shoe shaped a guest came to me and asked that i not put her next to the elevator.

i wantedto smack her.. we were a one story hotel....

Its amasing how stupid people can be sometimes.

But i bet we all do it ... all the time , hehe i'm probably doing something stupid lright now, like chwing on a loose cable from my electronic mousemat. But hey i'm fine ;) Lol if only you could hit people when they do stuff like that ....

I'm too young to work, but my friend asked my dad, "Can I have some ice cream with my cake, without the ice?"

O_o?

This isn't really from MY job, but it is a stupid people story:

My dad's renovating our local drug store; replacing some tile, doing some painting, stuff like that.
One day, he's behind a counter with a paint roller in his hand, he's painting the counter. This guy comes up, leans up on the counter, and goes "Whatcha doing?"
There's a paint roller IN HIS HAND. He's like "I'm painting." The guy goes "Whatcha painting?"
He's ROLLING THE PAINT ONTO THE COUNTER. He's like "This counter."

-.-
People are stupid.

I've been stood behind someone in poundland ( yes i know it's sad i was buying a hefty bag of sweets ) ,,, and they said to the guy that works there , how much is this?

"Can I have a value meal with out the fries and the drink?"

I hear that when I was standing inline behind this lady... Lol :lol: What a dumb ass.

I was at some restaurant and over heard a costomer ordering something from the counter......

Staff Guy - Can i help you ?
Customer - Yeh, i'd like a hot chocolate fudge cake
Staff Guy - Okay, now, would you like it hot or cold ?

I was like, wtf ?

Then the customer towered over the staff guy...

Customer - You tryin to be funny ?

I can't think of any stupid things a clients has said, but I've got a whole list of stuipd things clients have done.

I'm a graphic artist at a sign manufacturing business. We make all those light up signs you see in front of businesses. For this story to have full effect you have to know that I have to recreate a lot of logos and artwork from business cards that people have faxed over, or they'll give me a web address and i'm supposed to find the logo and recreate so we can put it on a 4ft tall sign. So it's a rare and joyous occasion when I get to work directly with another graphic artist, at least they understand scaling images and raster vs. vector, right?! One day I was designing a 4ft x 6ft Sign and the client had a specific image their graphic artist had done, to be placed on the sign. It was a lighthouse next to a city scape, all raster. I get and email from the artist with the file attached, he sent it over and it's 6inches wide by 1.2 inches tall... okay maybe he sent the wrong file, this must be the one he printed off to show the boss. So I call him up and the conversation goes like this...

"hey John, It's Adam over at *** Signs."
"oh hi, how's everything coming with the sign."
"good good. Except I think you must have sent me the wrong file. This ones only 6inches wide at 72dpi."
"oh okay, my fault. I'll send the right one over to you."
**click**
I pick up my email and it's the same file...
"John, it's Adam again. I still have that same file here. It's only 6 inches."
"Oh, well that's the right file i think, let me check. *mouse clicking* Yeah that's it 6 inches at 72 dpi."
"you know that this is for a sign right?"
"yeah, why?"
"well, the sign's 6 ft wide."
"right...so what's the problem."
"... *stupified*...ummm okay john, let me call you back."
"okay, seeya."
**click**

I've come to expect that sort of thing from a client, but this guy is a hired professional!!!! I had to scale it and then repaint most of it by hand. Some days you could just strangle someone with a phone cord...

Another big thing is that the clients always want the font to be bigger...I'm working with a confined space here, they can only be so big. For some reason, no matter how many times I explain it they just don't get it...where do they think all this extra space is going to come from?

Oh oh oh oh, here's the absolute most pain in the ass one. We use a plotter to cut our vinyl (signs are not painted, they use sticky vinyl) so when we get artwork from a customer we always ask that they use Illustrator or a pdf file. At least once a week I get a file from a company where someone has taken a jpg (raster) and put it into an illustrator file (vector) thinking that's going to work... IT'S STILL A GOD DAMNED RASTER IMAGE YOU MOTHER!%$#%@# @#$%^ &$%& WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO FOOL HERE!!!! And you'd be amazed at the companies that try to pull that crap. Not little mom and pop stores, no no no I'm talking about major international franchises. It's insane, you have an art department, USE IT!

I work @ T-Mobile.
One day, sum old man come to my store and asks:

"Can I pay my phone bill here?"

I said "No, you have to pay them upstairs in the food court, were the corpret stores is at"

Then he says "No I mean my Verizion home phone bill, can I pay it here?"

I said "No and please leave my store"

I could not b-leave, sumone even an old man could be that stupid...

LOL wow that is sad how stupid some people can be.

Take a look at this:

I am too young to work. it must be fun to hear such stupid things from customers.
It sort of makes your day.

In a German Airline:
customer:when i pay a cheep ticket to travel,will i take a seat in the plain or have i to stand up???

I worked at A&W (a burger joint with "world famous root beer")

I've been asked numerous times:

"Do you sell root beer?"
Me: "..." *sigh*

i dont' work, but i heard a consumer order food at a fast food place before,

staff member- what would you like today?
consumer- i would like a hamburger without the meat, lettuce, tomato, etc.
staff member- so all you want is the bun?
consumer- yes that is all i would like.

i mean wtf, why order a hamburger if you just want the damn buns, why not just eat bread from your house?

sad but true im not old egnuf eather

once, i was in line at the KFC, and the guy in front of me sneezed. Heres how it went:
dude:*sneezes*
me: bless you
dude: AHHHHH!!!! THE VOICES ARE TALKING AGAIN!!!!! AHHHHH!!!!*runs out the KFC without his food*

WTF?!? He was probably mental or something. This was a middle age man too. Oh well, he never came back for his food, so i got twice as much food for half the price :D

Lol, heres a whole site about just that.

Click here and see the little poppie window magically pop open :)

And to dwell on the whole human stupidity topic more...

lmao once i was at a friends house and we went to TacoBell right...(we were like pale cuz it was winter)...the dude at the counter was like.."Oh hey Pablo....oh wait ur not pablo...well what u want? some money we aint no mexican bank..." and the im like...WDF! "Im nowhere near looking mexican....i just want a TACO already!"
and my friends like..."yeah what he said.." and the guy at the counter looks at us funny...and says..."if u say so..."...a few minutes later he puts the food on the counter and as i walk up hes like "Oh hey Pablo...oh wait never mind"


i was kinda a little mad heh? rofl we were crakin up in the car

He was probably stoned out of his mind. you'd be amazed how many people get baked on the job at fast food places.

lol, so many funny stories...
Imo, if you work long enough in a position where you interact with costumers, you're bound to hear stupid and deranged stuff... this is a pretty long one...

I worked in Fortisbank at the register for abt two months,
abt halfway the second month i get this costumer who was visibly annoyed, mumbling to himself, because he had to wait so long in line.
he comes up to the registry asking me to cash out ALL accounts of his company...
I go like, ok, that is your right (he had the appropiate authorization, so i could'nt refuse of course...)
I ask the guy if he wants it in a bankcheque, but he wants cash...
I start working on it, emptying his four accounts with thousands of euro's.
Then I go to the backoffice vault, getting staples of money, spending abt 30mins just counting all this money on my desk. The guy's getting anxious and really annoying.
I try to make him feel at ease and go like "ok sir, i'll count this in front of you, so you can count with me and see everything."
His reply is like: NO, YOU count it, THEN, I count it...
finally, i'm done, I print out his order, wich he has to sign bfore he gets the money in his hands. I hand it to him, ~luckilly from under 2.5 inches of bulletproof glass:P~ and ask him to sign it...
He starts yelling NO, I WONT SIGN THIS! You give me my money!! that's mine!
Explaining him that it was the banks money UNTIL he signed the order note was very futile, so then he started yelling for the police and all that kind of crap...
eventually, he even wanted a note that he hadn't withdrawn money at all that day (he probably just wanted to bag the money of the company and run off...)

at that time, i simply closed my blends and had security throw him out...
I lost abt 2hrs on him...

just to state how stupid people get...
I have loads more of these, albeit less long, if you're interested i'll post those too... :D

shit next day that guy gotta be on crack lol,,,

my all time fav. is can i have a chicken hamburger!

lmao!!! thats tight

lol @ LANfest.

heres a good one from my mom(she works at toyota btw)

Shes on the phone all day, taking care of all the paperwork for the cars she sells. Heres what happened one day.
So shes doin some work and the phone rings. she answers, and the guy on the other line says this:

"Ive done the papers. now what?"

...WTF?! She says that hes got the wrong number and hangs up. a few seconds later the same guy calls again. he says the same thing. My mom gets a bit angry now, but just tells him that its the wrong number. hangs up again. a few seconds later, he calls once again. Shes fuming now. SHe starts cussin him out. heres the strangest part of it all. the guy says:

"God damn i just want to see how the rest of my paperwork for my chevy is coming!!!"

remember my mom works at toyota. that man must be mental or somethin to do that. no chance he got the wrong number 3 times in a row.

rofl thats like some crazy prank call

yeah. it bein a prank is a possibility too.

I work in a Sports clothing retail store and a customer once came in asked if we had Armani Jeans, i laughed at the customer's face and said no.
