Times When the Customer Was Definitely NOT Right

The saying “the customer is always right” has to be one of the most frustratingly misconstrued idioms in history.

Originally, it meant simply that if the customer said they wanted thing A, you shouldn’t try to convince them they want thing B. Just sell them the thing they want, make them happy, and get your money.

Simple enough. It definitely should NOT mean that whatever a customer happens to spout is correct.

Because. I mean. Just look at this:

What is the dumbest question a customer has ever asked you? from AskReddit

You’re not gonna believe some of these. Or maybe you will.

Either way, get ready to roll your eyes and laugh out loud.

1. What’s the problem?

-Can you photoshop some pictures for me?

-Sir, this is a bookstore.

-Yeah, but I see you have a computer right here.

– Baldulf

2. You prevented something unbearable.

I worked at REI a few years back (large outdoor sporting goods co-op, just in case you haven’t heard of it), and we sold bear spray (pepper spray for bears).

A woman came in with her two kids one day and bought a canister because they were going camping.

She gets to the front door, then comes back to the register as an afterthought, and asks if she’s supposed to just spray her kids from head to toe with it.

– jra312

3. Size does matter.

I very briefly worked at a Wendy’s some years back and I was working the drive through.

A woman ordered two meals, one with a small drink and one with a large.

As I handed her the drinks she asked, “which one is the large?”

– Citizenerased1989

4. That’s what I want too.

Worked at a fried chicken place. Lady calls and says that her daughter is going to order. His daughter sounds about 5 years old and orders 500 pieces of chicken.

I say ok laughing. The mom gets on and asks how long. I tell her that her daughter just ordered $1000 dollars in food. Does she really want that. The lady goes nuts screaming at me asking if I think her daughter is dumb.

Me “so you want 500 pieces of chicken?”

Her “My girl wants what she wants, make it and stop making fun of her”

Me” It is going to be at least an hour and 1000 dollars”

[…]

She shows up 10 mins after looking for her chicken. I explained to the manager about the call. She freaked out when the cashier told her it was over $1000.

The lady refused to tell us how much chicken she really wanted while the little girl stood there screaming she wanted 500 chickens.

5. Can’t fix what you can’t see.

This was few years back, customer (very chill guy) called in saying he recently bought a new MacBook Pro and it’s not working.

I asked him  “What happens, when you press the power button”

he said ” I don’t know where that is”.

– Velcrous

6. Something’s fishy about this.

About a decade ago, I used to work doing customer service for a power company in Texas. As you can imagine, a great number of my calls involved late bills and disconnections. And it’s not like the company was ruthless – due to Texas regulations and the general PITA of disconnecting/reconnecting someone, it generally required being 3+ months overdue to actually get shut off. So it was hard for me to work up much sympathy for anyone who was disconnected for delinquency.

But the absolute best was the guy who called up screaming at me about his power being off, because he’d just bought a whole load of rare exotic saltwater fish who have to be kept temperature-controlled. And (of course) he was totally unwilling to pay anything towards his bill either, because he’d spent his money on the fish.

So yes, I DID say exactly what any reasonable person would be thinking at that point.

I feel bad for the fishes tho.

– APeacefulWarrior

7. Bills come due.

Ughhhh there was a girl at work who drove me nuts about this.

Her: OMG I’m soooo scared! I don’t know how to use my credit card!

Male Co-worker: What do you mean you just swipe it.

Her: I didn’t know I had to pay the bank! How do I read this statement? I’ve never used a credit card before.

Co-worker: It says payment due.

Her: Nooooo but how do I pay? Omg I’m so scared can I just give them 10k? Is that enough?

Repeat for half an hour.

Keep in mind our office is a pretty big well known organization and her job involves verifying important information.

Because she was also flirting with the guy I wasn’t sure if she was legitimately stupid or faking it because she thought it was “endearing”

– Anvirel

8. I’m sorry, are you five?

“Can you aerate that for me?”

He wanted me to stir his apple juice. Technically his word choice was applicable, I guess, but wtf, dude? He had a straw ready in his hand and he could damn well have aerated that juice himself. I admit it took me 2 seconds of staring at his serious face before I reached for a straw, unwrapped it, and stirred his drink. I did it all without breaking eye contact with him, and he was satisfied.

Also I think about him now every time I stir or shake my chocolate milk to make it frothy.

– becauseusoft

9. Right is right.

I used to work in IT and one of my jobs was to support some of the security software we offered to customers. We had a package for secure data transfers and people often had to call up to be taught how to use it.

I was helping a woman use the software over the phone and I had a Remote Assistance connection to her PC so I could see her screen.

Me: “Okay, so find your name in the list of users”

Her: “I’ve found it! What do I do now?”

Me: “Right click your name, and then choose log in from the menu”

Her: “Is it my right, or yours?”

– Hoonterr

10. The embodiment of entitlement.

I’m a cashier at a grocery store and one time I had a lady ask me of I could “tell everyone else to let her go first.”

Like, she expected me to force everyone who had been patiently waiting in line to let her cut them. It wasn’t like she only had 1 or 2 items either; her cart was packed.

– Arii797ros

11. Maybe he’s not a strong reader.

I work at a small outdoor restaurant that sells wings and fries. Nothing else, just those two things (as far as food goes).

About a week ago, a man walked up to my counter, took a menu, proceeded to read the entire thing in front of me, and then put down his menu to ask, “Can I get a cheeseburger combo?” After taking a minute to wipe he ‘wtf’ expression off of my face and telling him no, we only sold wings and fries, he says, “What about a hot dog? Let me get a hot dog!”

My mind was blown after that conversation.

– ThePirateYar

12. You’re too sweet.

Customer: Where’s the sugar?

Me: What?

Customer: I ordered sweet corn, this is just corn.

– literalmirmaid

13. Case closed.

Back when I did tech support, I received a call from a customer with a peculiar keyboard problem. It seems that he was having trouble with the shift key.

When he typed a letter with the shift key pressed it gave him the upper case letter, but when he typed a number, it didn’t do that.

Didn’t do what?

Type the upper case number.

I had to break it to him gently.

– donut2099

14. Very poor judgement.

Working at callcenter, asking people to pay their old bills. Naturally some responded angrily.

‘So this is what you do all day? You just call people who haven’t paid their bills?’

‘Yes.’

‘So if I paid my bills you’d be out of the job?’

‘If everybody paid their bills, then yes.’

‘Ha ha! Good. You just f*cked up by telling me this. I’m going to pay my bills right away. When you’re unemployed then see how you like getting calls about your bills!’

The futility of eradicating a job that relies on the existence of poor people by making me poor escaped them.

– Lon-Abel-Kelly

15. Knock on wood.

Worked on a Christmas tree farm over winter break in college.

One time I had a lady ask me, “so, what are these trees made out of?”

– PM_ME_CRAFT_BEER

16. Just plane wrong.

I fly private jets. Once we were flying east early in the morning so the sun was directly in our eyes.

A passenger was sitting directly behind us on the jump seat. He leaned forward and asked “is there any way we can just climb and get above the sun?”

No.

– StrykerATL

17. This is VERY alternative medicine.

Once, while working at an eye doctors office, a woman was upset because we were charging her to make new lenses with an updated prescription and asked “why do you have to make new lenses, just inject some more medicine in the ones I already got?”

– Danwhodonit

18. This guy’s running on low.

I was working at a car battery store, when a customer came in with a receipt for a battery he had bought a couple weeks ago, asking for a refund. I asked him if he had the battery with him, so that we could take the battery back and refund him the money, when he said, “No I don’t have it anymore, I put it in a car I just sold.” Confused, I replied, “You want us to refund you for a battery that you don’t have anymore?” He responds, just as confused, “Yeah well I don’t have the battery anymore, so why should I have to pay for it? You need to refund me.”

He did not leave the store happy that day.

– GrantRusticus

19. Gotta love modern conveniences.

I work for a major wireless cell carrier in the US.[…]

“How do I make a phone call?”

Me: “Just press the application labeled phone.”

“Where?”

Me: “On the phone.”

“Right here? The one that looks like a phone?”

Me: “Yes.”

“Nothing is happening!”

Me: “Normally when you want to make a phone call and you don’t have any contacts programmed into the phone, dialing a phone number is required.”

“If I wanted to waste time dialing numbers, I would have stuck with my land line!”

– quartpint

20. How does it know?

Gas station.

“Hey, the bathroom door is locked. Can I get a key?”

“There’s no key, if it’s locked there’s someone in there”

“How does it know?”

“How does… what… know… what?”

“How does the bathroom know someone is in there?”

“People…. people go in and then they lock the door while they’re using it.”

[5 second pause]

“Ohhhh”

– SenorBeef

21. It’s time they were party trained.

“What do you mean I can’t bring my 6 month old baby into the nightclub?

[Click.]”

22. The cycle continues.

“Yes, I understand I haven’t paid my credit card bill in 3 months. But why can’t I use my card?”

“Because you haven’t paid your bill in 3 months.” repeat

– nolooselips

23. You don’t have to apologize. We know we’re dumb.

I worked in a heritage park in Ireland and we had a group of Viking re-enactors in one weekend, putting on a really good show of crafts, games and a trial.

This American (sorry) tourist came up and asked us “Do you guys have reservations for your Vikings like we do for our Indians?”

24. Well, there’s your problem.

Customer screaming: “MY NEW CAR’S BACK WIPER DOESN’T WORK!!!”

we walk outside, look at back window

Me: you don’t have a back wiper blade.

– Proxy12345

25. A prehistoric appetite.

Working at a museum where the main attraction is the dinosaur exhibit, we sell a lot of cheap products aimed at children. And we sell a lot of them.

Especially “Dino Eggs.”

A grandfather (I presume) and his grand-daughter (once again, I presume. And hope.) came into the shop, always busy, always cramped. And he picks up a Dino Egg for her.

Hands it over. Pays quickly. “No bag, no need.” Lovely, simple transaction.

But just as the till drawer has closed and I am pulling out his receipt to hand him, I’ve seen him in the corner of my eye tear open the packaging of this “egg”, smash open the lovely plastic shell and taken a big shard to his mouth.

He begins to chew, turns slowly to me and only then does he think to ask, “Is this edible?”

“No…!” I gasped. “No, sir. That… that’s not edible. You really shouldn’t eat that.”

The little grand-daughter’s face sinks further watching her grandpa spit out bits of plastic into her broken dinosaur egg. A fake dino-egg designed to be immersed in water so that the rubbery-dino toy on the inside can “grow and hatch.”

I gave him another. Well, I gave it to his grand-daughter. Best to keep it away from him, he was clearly ravenous.

– ParrotChild

26. Everything the light touches is yours.

I work in a liquor store whose inventory is 80% wine. You literally have to walk past aisles of wine to get to the hard liquor near the back.

I was in the scotch aisle in the back of the store when a customer approaches me, looks me me dead in the eyes and asks “Hey, where do you keep the wine at?”

I took a few seconds to react, not sure at first if the guy was f*cking with me or not, but upon inspecting his sincerely frustrated gaze I arrived at the conclusion that the man was indeed serious.

I responded by simply pointing behind the gentleman and then sweeping my arm from one side to the other like I was showing my lion cub all of the land that would one day be his to rule.

– theoutlet

27. Harry who?

Today a customer asked me if I was the same Harry as the Harry she spoke with yesterday.

My name is not Harry and I wear a name badge at work..

– El_Capitano_MC

28. Freaky fast and just plain freaky.

I work at jimmy johns. All jimmy johns have a sign that says free smells. Had a lady come through the drive thru one day while me and my manager are running it. She asks about the free smells after her order and my manager tells her okay you can pull up. She gets to the window, gets her food then proceeds to look through the bag. She eventually looks up all confused and asks where her free smells are? My manager jokingly says “oh yeah come inside and you can smell all you want for free!” She then says “ok *sshole!” And then speeds off.

To this day i have no f*cking clue what she though would be in that bag.

– blowin_Os

29. Again, American tourists making us all look bad.

My dad used to work at Windsor Castle, built in the 11th century, home to the Queen and nearly 1,000 years old.

An American tourist saw a plane flying nearby, and walked over to him.

“Why’d they build it so close to the airport?”

– robinthebum

30. Time zones are fascinating.

Spoke to the tour guide at the lodge I stay at (wild game lodge) and he said he had been asked:

Do giraffes hunt in packs?

If it’s October back in the USA, what month is it here? (South Africa)

– Ze_k_best

31. The life of a bike messenger.

“I worked as a bike messenger for a legal service for years. I made so many ‘super special hot rush’ deliveries to locked or completely empty offices.

The worst was being told to ‘stay dry out there.’ Too late, bruh, I’ve been wet since 8:30 and its unlikely I’ll dry off until 7.”

32. Please return the magazines.

“When someone brings a magazine they took from the waiting room into their appointment room, then leaves it there after the appointment is done.

Even though they’re headed directly back to the waiting room to pay.”

33. Time to do some detective work.

“When someone doesn’t write their name on a test or paper, leaving me to try and figure it out based on handwriting.”

34. Fix it!

“When someone says, ‘I was sick of my hair, so I did it myself. Now fix it.

And if you can’t fix it the way I want it due to the massacre I performed, it’s all your fault.’”

35. A major no-no.

“At a piano bar:

Setting a drink on the grand piano and inadvertently knocking it over inside the case so that it ruins the soundboard.”

36. That’s really rude.

“Deciding not to buy something and just leaving it on any random shelf.

Extra demerits if it’s left in the wrong temperature zone and has to be thrown away (like that ice cream someone left on the pasta shelf).”

37. The delivery blues.

“When someone lives in a gated community and doesn’t leave an access code in the delivery notes.

Then, when they don’t answer their phone.”

38. Clean it up, people.

“When people expect their grass to be cut/mowed but have hundreds of stuff all over it and expect me to spend my time tidying up too.

I’m not there to tidy up after you! Oh and dog sh^t too. I don’t wanna go blind. Pick your dogs sh^t up!”

39. The bait and switch.

“Baiting and switching.

I work in fashion and I sell for a lace company. When we get orders , people give us a standard to follow. When the bulk order is done you present it to the customer and they compare it to the standard . If it matches , you ship it . If it’s way off you have to re-handle it.

Some people present bulk yardage that is really from the original sample dye-lot so it matches the standard but the bulk may actually be off. Once it’s shipped people generally don’t question it unless it’s drastically off.

It’s a cr*ppy thing to do.”

40. A useless mess.

“People shredding coasters, peeling labels off of bottles, or breaking tabs off of cans and throwing them all over the floors and tables.

If you’re old enough to drink, you should be old enough to manage your own hands and not make a useless mess that someone else will have to clean up.”

41. Gimme that number.

“Someone telling me they need a specific part for their vehicle without giving me the VIN number to look it up.

The customer gets angry and proclaims, “They’re all the same! Don’t matter what vehicle it is!””

42. Sorry, it’s closed.

“Driving around the road closed sign and being pissed at me that they have to turn around, because yes, the road is actually closed.”

43. Don’t waste their time.

“Calling and ambulance only to refuse to transport once paramedics arrive.

It’s a waste of time and resources. Sometimes multiple times a day.”

44. That’s mine!

“I’m a barista.

Plenty of people will take drinks that were meant for someone else, even if they’re very clearly marked.

Gets on my nerves every time.”

45. That’s really gross.

“Eating immediately before your dental cleaning.

Come on people! You’re going to a dentist. Brush your teeth for us!”

If you’ve had a day that’s made you feel like not the sharpest tool in the shed, I hope these stories have boosted your esteem just a bit.

People Discuss Their Best Techniques for Quickly Ruining a Date

Dates can be pretty rough, and usually we’re trying our very best to do everything within our power to make them go well.

But what if, hypothetically, you wanted something a little different?

You have five seconds to ruin a date, what do you do? from AskReddit

Unsurprisingly, Reddit has ways to ruin things quickly.

Let’s take a look!

1. The hunger technique

Eat my food like I do when I’m on my own

– ToBoredomAGem

2. The art of the crunch

My sister told me about a quiet pub date she had with a guy recently who bought himself 2 packs of pork scratchings.

He opened both bags and separated them by most crunchy to least crunchy and then would pick 2 up at a time and ask her which one he should eat next.

He did this for the whole date.

They didn’t have a second date.

– Reave1905

3. The full assault

Ooh something I’m good at! Quickly find a way to steer the conversation to the eastern front during World War Two, and just keep talking about Stalingrad.

Once their eyes glaze over you know the city on the Volga has claimed yet another life

– tateochip

4. The money gambit

So, how much did you say you earn?

– dior_princess

5. The familiar face

Hi! Wow, you look just like my ex!

Done.

– firewire87

6. The vital vidya

Tell them I’ve played 7000 hrs of Grand Theft Auto.

Watch the interest dry up immediately.

– thelocalllegend

7. The gambling gambit

I used to work at a gaming bar.. this dude was on a first date and had been drinking with a girl for a while.

An hour or so in, he put like 40 bucks in the machine. He ended up hitting for like $1200 or something. Nothing crazy, but a nice hit.

We paid him out and he ordered a round of shots and soon after said he had to use the restroom.

Dude bolted. Left the girl with the bill. She legit walked in the bathroom looking for him, walked around the building.

Felt bad for her. She started crying at the bar, had a shot, and paid the bill while she waited for an Uber. Ouch.

– PuddingPoops

8. The sniff shift

One time a guy leaned over and deeply smelled a lock of my hair within the first couple minutes of our meeting for the first time.

I made up an excuse and left

– LydiaAgain

9. The unexpected double

Bring my friend and expect my date to treat them.

– s**ykenobi

10. Just go too fast

Say “I love you please marry me I’m not kidding”

– Thermal_bay

11. The “nice guy”

“I’m a really nice guy, like super nice, I would treat you so Good. Now show me your t**s.”

– invinoveritasb**ch

12. The warranty

I just watched this all play out in my head:

You meet someone online who seems to click with you.

You arrange to meet at a cozy restaurant.

When you arrive they’re already at the table, waiting for you.

You – hi, you look amazing

Date – thanks, now I’ve been trying to reach you about your car’s extended warranty.

Pulls out huge wad of paper, and dumps it on the table

Date – you see it states here in the terms and condi..

– Your_One_Lord

13. The slug…system?

Pour salt on them and say “sorry, I really, really, reaaaaaaallllllly hate slugs”

– Randomredditwhale

14. Start a fight

Pull up their social media and point out all the things they like that you don’t

– _manicpixie

Yup, I’d say those are all sure to work.

Do you have any others to add?

When a Scammer Got Between a Woman and Her PS5, She Got Even

We are all looking for good internet deals, especially with things being so expensive or hard to get.

And we all know that if a deal seems too good to be true, then it probably is.

But sometimes people need a life-experience reminder to be cautious about what they buy over the internet.

It doesn’t usually work out as well as it did for artist Brittany Everette.

It all started when she couldn’t find a PS5 for sale–and she really wanted one.

So she decided to try an after-market deal she found through Twitter.

Everything seemed legit, so Brittany paid half of the price up front, and then waited anxiously for her new system to arrive.

There were red flags almost immediately.

They had agreed she would pay the rest on arrival, but he needed it sooner.

The sick kid angle seems like the oldest trick in the book, but Brittany has a good heart and decided to trust him.

He just had to send her concrete evidence that he’d mailed the gaming system.

He agreed, and again, it seemed legit, so she helped him out and paid the other half.

As soon as he had her money, though, he blocked her on Twitter and deleted her from his phone.

She was devastated and no one could help. Not her bank, not Apple Pay.

Brittany had made a terrible error in judgment, and she was down, but she wasn’t out.

Not yet.

She tried to contact him again, and this time she gave him an ultimatum.

Still, he ignored her.

So what could she do, but come up with a plan to torment him?

He even kept changing his username which seems like a lot of work, especially if you’re going to scam more than one person.

Clearly the guy wasn’t a professional.

Armed with that knowledge, Detective Brittany was on the case.

Remember the saying “Criminals are stupid”? Well, this fella didn’t cover his tracks very well.

Brittany even found his email address.

Then he really slipped up.

Whoops. Wrong move, buddy. Should’ve just gone dark.
Instead of filing a police report, she made up a law firm called PA & P Legal.

And then she contacted every email address she had found, including those belonging to his family members.

While Brittany will admit that her email was obviously fake, it’s a lot more official and professional sounding than the fraudulent voicemails I get these days.

Anyway, she turned off her phone and went to relax for awhile–until her scammer started trying to contact her husband.

Then the story takes quite a turn. The fiancée was not at all amused.

Mr. Con Man reached out, full of apologies and “woe is me.”

It seemed he was full of apologies, but not much else. He still “didn’t have” Brittany’s money.

So she tattled on him to his fiancée.

TL;DR: She warned him. And she got her money back.

Some commenters suggested she should have asked for MORE money, but she replied that then she would have been just as bad as he was, and although she still wanted a PS5, she was happy to just get her money back.

When asked what she learned from the experience, she said:

that ima just have to wait until 2025 for this gaming system bc I’m never buying from a reseller again ???

The first moral of the story is, don’t try to take advantage of people.

The second moral of the story is, don’t settle for being taken advantage of.

Can you believe this crazy story? Would you have had the patience to con the guy into giving you your money back? Tell us in the comments!

Bartenders Discuss the Weirdest Things They’ve Seen on the Job

I worked as a bar back for a little while, and during my short tenure there, I saw some total weirdos doing weird stuff.

Hey, booze makes folks get crazy and it makes people who were already crazy EVEN CRAZIER.

You ready to get weird?

People who work as bartenders shared their stories of weirdness on AskReddit.

Let’s take a look.

1. I’ll take that to go!

“Worked a bar right downtown on a very main street in a very open and visible setting.

Middle aged wealthy looking guy comes in, orders a pint.

No problems.

Gets the pint, walks back out the door, probably gonna smoke / hang out outside.

Whatever.

Gets back into his car and immediately pulls it and drives off.

He did it so fast and with such confidence like it was a f**king Big Mac and we were McDonald’s. Full pint in a glass, it was hilarious and weird.”

2. A great combo.

“A lady came in and very casually asked for a pack of Camel Crush and a glass of milk.

I asked her if she wanted ice in it as it was a hot Texas summer day.

She said no then went out to the patio to smoke her cigs and drink her milk.”

3. Really bad.

“Bartender in a strip club here: Amateur night, random girl hops up on stage, crowd loooooves it.

She uses water to make stage slippery. Slides around, overshoots and flies off the stage, somehow straddling the arm of a broken metal chair, cuts her crack/bu**hole way wide open.

Needs to go to hospital. I was in nursing school so I assessed her injury…..bad. Bad bad bad.”

4. A drink for my friend.

“Bartending at a busy pub in London.

There must have been thousands of people crammed into this place. This man gets to the bar and orders himself a pint.

Then out of nowhere he pulls a live lobster from his jacket and asks if his mate could have a pint too.”

5. Time to go.

“Had a lady who p**sed herself sitting at the barstool.

She proceeded to reach into her purse to grab a pill bottle filled with god only knows what. Well, in her intoxicated state she dropped the pills…. Directly into her p**s puddle.

She picked them out of the puddle, swallowed them, and was pretty promptly kicked out after that.”

6. Good Lord.

“Crackhead bursting in with a chainsaw sure woke me up on the graveyard shift.

That or the couple who’d been hitting it off at the bar did a shot and the girl suddenly threw up in her hands.

The guy didn’t miss a beat, just assured her “no it’s ok” and sensually licked her fingers clean.”

7. The nice side of town.

“After getting out of the military, my well off cousin and her husband owned a plaza on the nicest side of town.

A bar had just went belly up in that plaza, so they decided to buy the liquor license and open one themselves. It was a very high end wine and spirits bar with a similar high end menu. On Friday and Saturday, jazz and blues musicians would play.

I was the only non-trained bartender, so I’d handle the easy drinks and run them to tables. We had this one table, they were a couple, that ordered everything on the menu, and drinks only a real bartender could make well. They had to have racked up a $500-$600 bill easy. They both got up to use the restroom at the same time, and they didn’t pay the tab.

In the confusion of chasing them out the door, another patron went to the bathroom and to his horror, there was p**p smeared on all four walls, the mirror, the toilet, the door, paper towel and soap dispensers, everywhere. It was mortifying.

Check the women’s bathroom, same thing. It was early in the night, and not one of us could could bring ourselves to clean it. We had to close and have a professional cleaning service come.”

8. Insane.

“This happened a few months ago at a college bar.

We were just opening and we’re still pretty empty when a guy in his mid 30s walked the exit door without a mask (Covid regulations mandated one door for entry and another for exit only). Our biggest and most direct bouncer immediately came up to the guy and told him he needed to go around and use the other door to come in and to put a mask on.

The guy starts arguing saying there were no signs about the rules blah blah blah. Eventually the guy starts postering strangely like he had a gun hidden in his waistband or something and wouldn’t back down from our bouncer that was at least twice his size which was putting me on alert a little. I figured it wouldn’t hurt to grab back up to kick this dude out so I grabbed another bouncer and they got rid of the guy.

All normal after that for the next few minutes until 15 minutes later I hear a loud bang out back. The guy apparently rolled up to the original bouncer in his pick up, rolled down the window and told the bouncer he had something for him then raised a shotgun and fired. Luckily the bouncer wasn’t hit but we closed for the night after that.

It was the weirdest thing I’ve seen in the sense of how little someone was willing to kill over. Literally using a different door and putting on a mask was enough to potentially ruin his life and end another…”

9. Cleared the place out.

“A guy comes in and orders a pint and then goes and sits at a table beside and elderly couple and a group of tourists. He then proceeds to s**t himself.

I had to drag him out because he refused to leave. He left kicking and screaming. The place pretty much clears out after that.”

10. Well, that worked out.

“Small town bar…guy rides his horse to town.

Proceeds to get drunk, goes out and rides the horse into the bar.

Horse knows where home is so the guy lets the horse take him home!”

11. Party time! Oh, wait…

“Worked a private party, supposedly 75-100 people are going to be arriving. Host family shows up, probably about a dozen or so extended family members, toting a cake.

Party start time comes and goes, no more guests are arriving. After about an hour I talk to my manager, all “WTF did you call me in for, this isn’t a party at all!” I end up talking to the host family, and the main mom starts crying that nobody wanted to celebrate with the birthday girl.

I got sad, and asked who the birthday girl was, so at least I could buy her a big drink on the house. Mom responds “She’s dead. She died a few months ago.” She then proceeds to weep uncontrollably for a very long, awkward time. I WORKED A BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR A DEAD WOMAN.

Nobody else ever showed, and we made food for 50, and had food prepped for another 50. I made almost no money that night. My boss did allow me to get hammered in the house after they left, however.”

12. Who’s your friend?

“I had a guy that came in with a service cat which I didn’t know it was a thing. The cat had to be trained because we had a live band that night and he just chilled there.

The owner of the cat even got up to go to the bathroom and the cat just sat there in the barstool and didn’t freak out from the amount of people or the loud music.

And yes he got a shot of milk.”

13. Down in Mississippi.

“I am from backwoods Mississippi and was working in the city closest to my hometown at the time. Lots of forest areas that are super isolated.

I was bartending. Alone. Sunday morning at a brewery. I had one ornery regular that had come in, one random lady who wore headphones and had her back to me.

In this dude rolls from his SUV, illegally parked, wearing a plaid button up that had sleeves that were both different colors from the body. And on each shoulder… two huge big foot emblems. I told the man I liked his shirt because it was a cool shirt. He said, “I’ve seen it.”

Because I have a goofy old man for a dad, I laughed. And he said, “No seriously, I’ve seen it. I’ve seen the big foot.” The regular choked on his drink. This man proceeds to tell me all about the big foot he’s seen.

For like half an hour. It’s near my parents’ home, actually right near where my brother is buried, apparently. I ask him about what parts he saw it specifically, he has no details. Just assured me that his friend showed him, and also that he’d seen little ones, as well. No more than 3 feet tall.

Then he said he had more shirts to show me and went and got them from his car. This is where the regular chugged the rest of his beer, said, “Sorry kid, I can’t deal with him,” and left me there.

He comes back in, and tells me all about his plans. In the back of his SUV, some weird contraption. You could only see it when he opened the door. Turns out, it was A BIG FOOT CAGE.

His plan, and i swear to God this was verbatim, was to “catch it, and then call all the news stations and journalists and bloggers and media. Let them get their pictures and stories and videos. And then… and then let him go. Because he doesn’t belong in a cage.”

And then he asked me if he could buy concert tickets (we were not a concert venue) and left without purchasing anything at all.

I was so sad that no one had experienced it with me until the girl from the table turned around and was like, “I unplugged my headphones as soon as he walked in and listened to all of that and oh my God.””

How about you?

People Shared Stories About Their Co-Workers From Hell

We’ve all been there at some point…

You have a co-worker (or maybe multiple people) who just makes every day on the job an absolute nightmare.

Is there anything worse than getting that pit in your stomach on the drive to work every morning because you know that certain someone is going to be there?

UGH!

Have you ever had a co-worker from Hell?

Here’s how AskReddit users responded.

1. Liar!

“I had a co-worker who was a one upper. Drove us all crazy. Around 2002 in an IT department. Here’s some of his claims:

Friends with George Lucas

Dated Kirstie Alley

Stephen Spielberg was going to produce one of his screen plays, but someone was jealous and claimed he plagiarized her work and Spielberg believed him but she had “connections” so he couldn’t do anything about it.

Had a degree in law and was a lawyer before he became a software developer and won every case. (dude was maybe 25 at the time, he sucked as a developer and I flat out told him once he should reenter the legal field – which he somehow took as a compliment).

Played golf with Bill Gates on more than one occasion.

There’s a lot more but these are the biggest lies.

2. Get rid of that one.

“I used to work part time at a shipping warehouse and at one point, we ended up hiring this sixteen year old kid.

He made a ton of mistakes that we ended up having to fix for him, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt at first just because he was new. But not only did he never learn from his f*ck-ups, but he was incredibly lazy and lacked any self-awareness.

There were instances where he was given a task, but then he’d either d*ck around on his phone most of the time, hide out in the bathroom for like forty-five minutes and then hoped we wouldn’t notice, or just whine to my supervisor that he didn’t want to do whatever he was assigned.

Because of that, he would often take half the day to do like thirty minutes of work and would then complain that he had too much work piled on top of him. It was ridiculous.

He lasted maybe a month before my supervisor let him go.”

3. Gossipy.

“Had a co-worker who always gossiped about others and would say horrible things about everyone in the office.

It created a super toxic culture and caused many people to leave, not because they didn’t like the work, they just hated the culture.”

4. Spoiled brat.

“The 50 something Turd that was the owners son.

Spoiled brat, reminded me constantly who he was if I stood up to him. Creepy as hell too, could never just tell any of the women they looked nice, actually told me one day that my legs looked nice…I was wearing a skirt. That was the last time I wore a skirt to work for a long time.

I immediately started looking for a new job within a month. There were so many other things that occurred I was turned off from working for a small family owned business since.”

5. Plotting.

“Had an assistant who plotted to get me fired and take my job.

Some of my workers let me know because he tried to get them onboard with him. Eventually, due to politics I was demoted but asked to be put on the shift relieving him (we would work 12 hour shifts on weekends). After being relieved by phone a couple of times (against the rules) I intentionally came in 4 hours early and he was no where on site.

I still got a call from him when he should have relieved me like he was still on site. I let the guards know and they videotaped him and I got him fired.”

6. Fired!

“I had the easiest gig ever once, on-call janitor on a university campus.

You had a few minor duties and could sit around shooting the breeze (doing homework, binging Netflix) for the rest of the shift. But you had to be ON SITE for the entire shift, and you definitely had to be there to lock up

Well, one semester the weekend shift comprised of one student and his new wife. Our boss kept getting complaints that they weren’t around to unlock doors, sick toilet paper, etc. There was always some excuse, along with a personal hand-to-God guarantee that they were on campus the whole shift.

Everything came crashing down around them when they got into a car accident driving back from Vegas (8-10 hours away) during a shift. And they told our boss all about the accident as the reason why they wouldn’t make it to their shift the next day.

Idiots. Obviously they were fired.”

7. Creep.

“She told our boss that she wanted to break into my apartment and touch all of my stuff because “I bet it’s all really cool”.

This was right after I found out she’d moved into the apartment next door.

She would send stuff to my apartment just so I would put it on her stoop and knock on her door.”

8. Not my fault!

“She was a lady in her 50s. We worked at a doctors office.

Nothing was EVER her fault, she could not take even the nicest constructive criticism, and constantly complained about EVERYTHING. One of my nicest co workers ever (who was around the same age so not an ageism thing) often was the recipient of her blame and because she never took responsibility, it was regularly the same issues she never learned to correct.

They bickered a lot after a couple years of this. One day the nice coworker went to the car to grab her anxiety med, and the obnoxious one went to the office manager and then HR saying she thought the nice one went to get a weapon to hurt her. Like what?! She didn’t even own a weapon? And the nice one GOT FIRED. I was absolutely SHOCKED.

Any lingering respect I had for her was gone. I’ve had a lot of jobs and met some sh*tty people but she was the most stressful nightmare who could boohoo her way into getting pity parties on cue.”

9. Horrendously inept.

“Canadian Air Force here.

The number of horrendously inept people I’ve dealt with over the past 10+ years is amazing.

One kid I worked with met a girl, got married and divorced within a year of joining. Refused to wash himself regularly. He walked around with GREASY glasses. Like, his everyday glasses were smeared with weeks worth of finger grease and dandruff and skin flakes form his dry dirty skin.

It wouldn’t have been so bad if he knew how to do his job (which a trained monkey could do), but this kid couldn’t. He also got his mother to move in with him in military housing to help him with house work and bills.

There are a lot of great people I’ve worked with/for. But the bad ones really make you question why you try so hard when you could be sh*t and still get by.”

10. That’s Fred!

“I briefly had a co-worker at my current job at a local grocery store. We’ll just call him “Fred”.

Fred is one of those people who’s always talking on his phone in the break room and that’s my personal pet peeve at work. More often than not, he’s usually arguing with his girlfriend and he doesn’t seem to care that anyone’s listening.

He’d do other annoying, gross things like chewing with his mouth wide open and wiping his boogers all over the place, but then there was one day when he tried to flush a hot pocket down the toilet.

Needless to say that it didn’t play out so well and that temporarily put an end to our closest employee restroom right by the break room. He surprisingly didn’t get fired over that, but he did get fired when one of his old high school teachers came in shopping and he threw a whole sack of potatoes at her. She was an elderly woman who got seriously injured and both the ambulance and the cops had to get involved.

I never did hear about what happened to his old teacher, but Fred on the other hand is currently in jail for not only assaulting his teacher, but he apparently also attacked his lawyer for reasons unkown.

That’s Fred.”

11. Yikes.

“Former Supervisor – A bully, gossip, and all around horrible person that picked 1 or 2 people to be her punching bag.

My introduction to her was when I was sitting at lunch and she came barreling at one of my coworkers and proceded to litteraly scream and curse in his face in the Break area. She also had a habit of gossiping in the the warehouse office in full hearing of other people which made me uncomfortable.

It’s one thing when a co-worked gossips to another, it’s an entirely different thing when a supervisor gossips about those under them to others.

I actually cassually mentioned to a different supervisor that it made me uneasy to be in the office while this was going on and she got wind of it, she then decided to make me her target. Over the span of 6 months she bullied me and behaved in some really disrespectful ways:

– She gossiped about me: How did I find out? She started doing it in front of me.

– She gave me a very unflattering nickname: I found out when she blurted it out one time when I came into the office after being paged

– She was passive agressive towards me in all respects – Growled at me in the ladies locker room, put papers to cover her face so I couldn’t “look” at her, sighed or scoffed when I tried to engage in conversation with other people (not her) Ignored me or outright walked away when I needed a supervisor override.

– She told me I needed “To step it up” with my work. I was the 2nd most productive with the the 2nd lowest fault rate of my department. To give you an Idea on a typical day 1st would do ~25 jobs, I would be at ~23, the other 5 people averaged ~15 jobs a piece.

I finally had a breakdown after she started doing it in front of other Supervisors and the Manager, this was a week after I told the manager, again, about her behavior. Nothing was being done about it. I was ready to just walk off the job and had a breakdown.

Someone told the Managers boss that I was having a break down and she called me directly to find out what was going on. I was walked through an official HR report that went to the front office. She was given one last chance. I told them she wouldn’t last a month. 3 weeks later she had a screaming match with another employee and was suspended and subsequently fired.

I later found out she was directly responsible for 3 people quitting and one person getting fired becasue they couldn’t take it anymore and threw gloves at her.”

How about you?

What’s Cool Now, But Won’t Be in 5 Years? Here’s What People Said.

Are you old enough to remember the glorious Hypercolor t-shirts?

If you’re not, let me fill you in.

Hypercolor shirts changed color with your body heat. They were all the rage when I was in seventh grade and I even had one of my own. I was there, man!

But…by eighth grade, they were definitely not cool anymore and that thing sat in the back of my closet, lost to history…it’s quite sad, actually…

People on AskReddit talked about what is popular and cool now but probably won’t be in five years.

1. Can’t last forever.

“The <insert name here> Nutrition drink shops.

MLM bright teas that have no actual nutritional value can’t last forever.”

2. Might go away.

“Galaxy print is probably going to go the way of the bowling alley carpet patterns we used to wear on our clothes in the 1990s.

It’ll come back ironically in 10 years.”

3. YouTubers.

“Probably most popular YouTubers.

That’s something I’ve noticed.

The shelf life of YouTube popularity seems to be shorter than “mainstream” pop star popularity.”

4. Darn, already got mine…

“Brazilian Bootie Lifts.

I feel like it will not age well.

A lot of plastic surgeries collapse over time or have complications as it degrades.”

5. A lot of BS.

“Life hacks.

Since they have taken over YouTube, it just will be bland after amount of time because a lot of it is just BS and many just don’t work now.

Many I’ve seen so many stupid harmful things they are doing like “oH PuT YoUR TiN FoIL iN a BaLL anD pUt It iN a MICrowave tO MakE a SmOTH BaLL.”

6. That doesn’t sound good.

“The bowl cut.

For some reason it came back in south Houston.

Looks ridiculous.”

7. You see it all the time.

“Corporations trying to be weird and relatable on Twitter.

Wish it would die out now.

Twitter, where people try to be brands and brands try to be people.”

8. Totally embarrassing.

“A lot of the stuff I see people doing on TikTok seems like the kinda thing you’d be embarrassed about in a few years.”

9. That’s sad.

“Instagram is going to be an online shopping mall.

Far removed from the cool blogging site it used to be.”

10. What’s next?

“Subscribing to multiple streaming platforms.

Isn’t that why cable doesn’t exist anymore?”

11. Enough! ?

“?  putting ?  emojis ?  everywhere ?  especially ?  if ?  you’re ?  a ?  brand ?  trying ?  to ?  do ? buddy ?  marketing ?.”

12. Electric vehicles.

“EVs.

In 5 years, it’ll just be a commonplace thing.

It won’t be every car on the road, or every purchase, but already the shock of “oh look it’s a Tesla” is fading out.”

13. Could be…

“Funko Pops.

They’re the Beanie Babies of the ’20s.”

Okay, now it’s your turn…

In the comments, tell us what YOU think is cool now but won’t be in five years.

We can’t wait to hear from you!

Snow Day Memes Prove Winter Just Isn’t as Much Fun as an Adult

I never thought winter was that fun as a kid, except for the whole “getting to stay home from school” thing. Which was pretty great.

When you’re an adult you don’t even get that – even if you do get to stay home from work, you’ve probably got kids to look after, snow clothes to dig up and put on, puddles to mop off the floor, and you know, everyone can work from home, now, so you’ll probably be doing that, too.

If you’re feeling this whole mood, here are 14 memes that sum it up!

14. It’s pretty as long as you don’t have to go out in it.

Said every Midwesterner ever.

Image Credit: Pleated-Jeans

13. It doesn’t give you a chance to hide your incompetence.

And we all need a little help in that area sometimes.

Image Credit: Pleated-Jeans

12. You can never be too prepared.

I so identify with the moms in these memes now.

Image Credit: Pleated-Jeans

11. I mean, how can you step out there?

You just can’t.

Image Credit: Pleated-Jeans

10. If you’re looking for a bright side…

No ticks, either.

Image Credit: Pleated-Jeans

9. You do what you’ve gotta do to motivate yourself.

Trust me, when it’s freezing, you’re gonna need it.

Image Credit: Pleated-Jeans

8. I’d rather be warm than cute.

Write that on my tombstone.

Image Credit: Pleated-Jeans

7. There’s some anxiety involved.

Even when you know the tricks of the trade.

Image Credit: Pleated-Jeans

6. It’s rough out there.

Stay home if you can.

Image Credit: Pleated-Jeans

5. We all think we’re so good at it until we’re staring it down.

And then it’s never as easy as we remember.

Image Credit: Pleated-Jeans

4. Depends on how long before you have to be at work.

It might take care of it.

Image Credit: Pleated-Jeans

3. That would be the life, y’all.

Sadly, we decided to have children.

Image Credit: Pleated-Jeans

2. Some thing never change.

You’ve gotta keep some of that childhood wonder on board.

Image Credit: Pleated-Jeans

1. I mean, fair.

We all need warning labels.

Image Credit: Pleated-Jeans

Yeah, I think moving somewhere with a milder winter might actually be the answer.

Sorry, kids.

What Exists Only to Mess With Us? Here’s What People Had to Say.

The older you get, the more you realize what a sinister world we live in…

Things seem to exist just to mess with our minds and make our days a little bit more difficult.

What a cruel existence we all must deal with…

So, what exists only to mess with us?

AskReddit users shared their thoughts on this subject.

1. NO!

“The ads that have the X inside the ad.

So that when you click to close it, it takes you to the linked site.”

2. Pointless.

“Bedbugs.

They have no ecological benefit and target only humans, almost exclusively just when the human hosts are sleeping, armed with natural anticoagulants and painkillers for enhanced, stealthy blood-sucking.”

3. Ouch.

“I know they weren’t meant to and once had a reason to exist, but by now: Wisdom Teeth.”

12. Well, on that note…

“Time. You lose it constantly and can’t get it back.

You get older and older and uglier and uglier until your a shell of your former self.

Then die and rot in the ground.”

5. Leave me alone!

“Robocalls about your car’s extended warranty.

I get these several times a week.

I don’t even own a car!”

6. Not a fan.

“Mosquitos.

Wasn’t even that long ago that a study proved that you could wipe them all out and it would not actually negatively impact ecosystems as much as previously thought and there is now a real effort to exterminate every last one of the bloodsuckers.”

7. Thoughts on this one?

“Credit Scores.

Used to be that the bank would do their due diligence on loan applications before offering terms that made sense for each person.

Now they’ve constructed a huge system where missing one bill payment can f**k you over and paying down debt early is can be interpreted as a bad thing.

The idea in principle isn’t so bad, but the way it’s implemented is stupid and unwieldy and mistakes are far too hard to correct.”

8. Sent from Hell.

“Printers.

Now I hear you saying to me oh but wait printers are so useful. Nope. They were all sent from hell to haunt us. Office printers are bad, home printers are worse. They never work, need 300 different drivers you have to get off the website, oopsies we don’t make that one anymore.

Oh no, the ink we gave you was a trial size, guess what a**hole no stores sells the bastard random number your printer needs, but you can buy this replacement for 60 bucks that will print maybe 2 pages properly.”

9. Can be maddening.

“Our tax system. In the U.S. anyway.

Most places don’t have such confusing taxes. Usually it’s just a bill that comes that you gotta pay. This is very possible and doable in America. In fact in the past twenty years both a Democrat and a Republican’s on two separate occasions proposed a bill that would simply taxes so literally anyone could do it.

The problem is that would cost a lot of accountants some jobs. So, America, in it’s never dying love of retaining jobs that have no reason to exist outside of providing work, has never implemented a more simple tax system.

That and H&R Block spends millions of dollars every year to make the tax code more complicated so people will have to relay on some big company to do it for them.

And yet another example of a big giant company purposefully making the government incompetent so that they can replace the government and charge citizens to do what you legally have to do every year.”

10. Just end it!

“Junk paper mail in the physical mailbox. From the same companies constantly.

Capitol One, Discover, American Express. And certain ones have a thick card stock insert so you will pay more attention to it. Constant mailers from local realtors. Companies always pitching term life insurance. Etc etc etc. Tricking you to think it’s a tax form. Tricking you to think it’s official government business.

All junk mail needs to go away. All of it goes straight to the paper shredder and that also takes up a lot of time to deal with.”

11. Annoying.

“Products designed in such a way that they are impossible to repair

Power tools, all consumer electronics, appliances, cars, tractors, agricultural machines, trucks. Anything with a bearing or a microchip anything you can imagine buying and using is well on its way to becoming the exclusive property of the people who sold it to you. Forever. This forecast brought to you in the year 2021.

Fu**ing with people in such a way in order to make money is perhaps the worst outcome of capitalism. The subtle manipulation of what it means to own something by corporations is the worst thing that has ever happened to society.

It makes me feel a rage beyond words because the unrepairable item is by definition something that only exists to f**k with you.”

What do you think exists only to mess with us?

People Discuss the Concepts They Just Can’t Grasp

Some people just can’t grasp certain things.

You try and try and for some reason, it just doesn’t click in your head.

For me, it’s Math. And a lot of Science stuff, too, if I’m being honest.

I guess my brain just doesn’t work that way…

People on AskReddit shared what concepts they just can’t seem to grasp.

Let’s take a look.

1. Just don’t get it.

“Emotionless s**.

The idea of a one-nightstand with someone you’ve only known for a few days – or even just a few hours (?!?!) – and who you plan to never, ever, ever see again boggles my mind.

Zero judgement, btw. I have friends who are happily single and simply get their physical needs met with hookup-apps.

It works for them, and I think that’s great. I’ve just never been in the position of finding someone I barley know s**ually attractive.”

2. I’m with you!

“All of the higher maths, Algebra through Calc. I just can not do it.

I’ve taken Algebra 3 times and never got anything higher than a C. I get to radical equations and my brain takes a dump. Very confusing!”

3. Please explain it again…

“The stock market.

Having a number of friends in finance, they are numbers wizards.

They talk about how this pattern in this sector means the outcome will be this.”

4. Some people don’t care.

“Cultural appropriation.

I’m Hispanic and I don’t give a s**t if white people like our culture and copy it on their body or in their home.

It’s really not of any concern to me. It’s really hard for me to care.”

5. Confusing.

“The relationship between time and gravity. Like in the movie INTERSTELLAR, when the people on Earth age faster than them who are traveling through high gravity.

My understanding of gravity is a force that pulls objects together, the more objects together the stronger the pull. So I have gravity that pulls objects to me but it is so small of a force in comparison to say a planet or sun. Light is both a particle and wave so I get it being pulled by gravity.

But time isn’t a physical object, there is no particle or atom or whatever for gravity to pull. Time is our perception of our existence and our growth and eventual decay. So how is time being affected by gravity? How is decay slowed by the pull of gravity? If I were close to a dense system or black hole, would the electrical/ chemical elements in my brain slow down so I think at the same rate as I age?

Or would I be thinking really fast in comparison? Does gravity affect the rate of electron flow in electronic components?”

6. Not grasping it.

“Never have and never will understand inflation, I literally don’t understand how it works.

I get we can’t print more money but in my head that just doesn’t make sense, humans are the ones who ascribed value to everything so I don’t get what the problem is.

Yeah I’m not very smart.”

7. Seriously.

“Trolling.

I really just cant understand why you would go out of your way to make the game/experience worse by purposefully being annoying and unhelpful.”

8. Don’t get it.

“Collecting things.

I have a pretty big nail polish “collection” but I wear all of it. When people collect things that do nothing but sit there, I don’t get it.

I have friends who own literally hundreds of those Funko Pop figures and I don’t know why.”

9. A mystery.

“The fact that people will take the teachings of a 2,000 year old book to heart and say “it’s all true” with zero evidence, yet completely ignore something that is scientifically proven will evidence to support it.

No offense intended to religious people, you do you.”

10. Too stressful.

“Having kids, the whole concept seems SO stressful there is SOOOOO much that can go wrong.

I really feel the negatives WAY out weigh the positives and I feel when parents are telling you the “joys” they are just trying to convince themselves their decisions were good.”

11. Happens all the time.

“How tens of millions of people can be brainwashed by the same narrative.

I know there are some pretty susceptible people out there, but I didn’t expect it to be TENS OF MILLIONS.”

12. What’s happening?!?!

“Time travel.

Obviously it’s a fictional concept, but every time I watch or read anything about it my brain starts hurting really fast.”

13. Mind = Blown.

“Things like Wifi, Bluetooth and airdrop. Especially air drop.

HOW THE HELL can a picture form my phone magically appear on my laptop? I don’t get it. There’s nothing there to connect the two.

It boggles my mind.”
