People at certain jobs must hear the same stupid joke over and over again!

Even worse. Ever where a red colored t-shirt into Target? That's a good one Actually, a week or two, I had a green colored T-shirt on when I went ot the local gardening place and was asked if I knew the price of something and I repsonded with bold, "I have no idea". It actually took me a second then I realized my green shirt and told them I don't work there and laughed. The other person actually seemed annoyed at me?

when the colour of the shirt is the same as the "uniform" i can let it go.. (similar thing at Shoppers for me) but I've had this very rude lady literally SHOUT "HEY" at me multiple times, when I was wearing a white t-shirt & old jeans @ "The Bay". She said she thought I was security ?!?@!@#? since when does security walk around in a t-shirt & jeans? no jacket, no walkie-talkie, but I'm wearing sunglasses so I must be security. Then she got really pissed that I had no intention of helping her :roll:

Office humor is the worst. Every time it rains, someone has to say the stupid line, "Yeah, we need this rain!" NO WE DON'T! Or when you're in a meeting, and someone turns down the lights to see the projector, someone ALWAYS says, "I'm going to fall asleep!" and makes snoring noises or some variation thereof.

And the WORST is telecons. Hearing someone say, "Can you hear me now? Good!" makes me want to rip out their vocal cords so that there will never be any doubt that no one can hear them, and they won't have to ask that f&cking question.

At my help center job that I had up till last summer, I'd always get pharmacists calling in when the pharmacy software went haywire. 90% of them would claim to be "dead in the water."

They even laughed at my stupid comments .. "Hmm, we must have intentionally left you on hold too long cause we didn't feel like answering the phone, I apologize that this has resulted in your death. Since you are already dead, you are beyond help, have a nice day!" Of course they would ALWAYS interrupt before I finnished the word day

They all think they're so clever, they all think they're so funny.

Its not clever or funny.

:roll: yet another one that applies to me as well...

When I worked in the IT department and we would haul around computer equipment. People would always say "Hey, why don't you go load that into the red Trans AM out back, he he he." It was always the old redneck type guys, and the equipment would be an old monitor that was broken, or something that they would never know how to use anyway.

All my people do this when the boxes of the new computers arrive waiting to be unpacked and deployed...
Hey... why dont you just take 1 of those boxes and put it out in that black truck in the north lot.

I work in remote desktop support. I always hear the good ole "Can you do my work for me too?" Whenever I remote into a users workstation. Geeze I've never heard that one before:roll:

 

[xospec1alk]

i used to work at a movie theater, and we had to check all bills larger than $20 bucks.

at least 5 times per shift, someone would say "I just made that bill"

Back when I worked at a Call Center..

"Your in Seattle huh? Is it raining?"
"Nope it's 75 and sunny, we just tell everyone it always raining to keep people like you from coming here."


here's your sign...

When I worked at Target I got farkin' sick of people thinking they were clever by pronouncing it "Tar-zhay" (like ballet).

And on a side note, this woman who works at the company cafeteria always says your total as 100x what it should be. Like a $4.75 lunch would be four hundred and seventy-five dollars. Every farkin' time. Geez.

Yup. I'm almost guaranteed to hear this every single time I sit at someone else's PC.

Used to work as a bartender.... how many different jokes a night I got in different forms about people trying to get a free drink.. I've lost count.

There's also the times when I'm replacing/removing/installing computer equipment and everyone in the vicinity will stop working, turn around, and ask if they can have a new one too. :roll:

Everytime I see the beer guys unloading trucks to stock the coolers, I tell them where my trucks is at.

.. the guy who 'unloads' the portapotties - Now that guy gets away with a lot of $hit.

When Sideways came out there were articles where they interviewed employees of those little winery joints when thousands of stupid impressionable people descended on the area and started repeating lines from the movie thinking that they were so smart . . .

most of the employees said they were inches from going postal.

Working in IT, I'm often asked if I installed <insert new game name here> for them.
Every time they tell me to go load a new computer in their vehicle, I ask them how them plan to support me when both of us lose our jobs.

My last name is Smith.

"XXXXXX Smith, is that your real name?"
"Good thing there aren't many Smiths around!!"
"Is your first name John?"
"You're not Agent Smith from the Matrix, are you?"

When I use to serve hors dourves (butchered that) at weddings:

"Hey why don't you just leave the plate"

Me (smiling politely, and thinking to myself): "Why don't you go fck yourself"
