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

How about when a cashier swipes your credit card and says "It says declined?" or "It says I'm supposed to cut up your card"?

I can see how the non-employee of the situation can make these lame jokes since they think they're original, but I cannot understand how the employee can do this. Wouldn't they be doing this all the time to the customers?

"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?"

Is your name "John Bolton"?

*rimshot*
 
Working as a painter some of the ones i hated

"what if i don't really like the color, is it free?" usually followed be "cause i wanted a blue, not a dark blueish cyan...."
"Is it hot outside today, looks like it" (said as the guy leaves his air conditioned home to talk to me outside in the 100degree weather"
and of course from friend
"Hey, are you busy on saturday?" ( .... sigh 🙁 no i'm not free to paint something or other with/for you).
 
when 2 people are wearing the same color shirt and someone says "i didnt get the memo"

when someone is eating donuts and says "mmm doooonuts" (like homer simpson)

 
Worked as a groundskeeper at a high school for quite a while

When mowing courtyards in the interior of the building, I had to push the lawnmower through the hallways, as the courtyards were only accessible for mowing via a push mower (small lawns, small doors).

I can't tell you how many times I heard the variants of 'no grass in here', 'mowing the hallways?', and the like. It was as if people had never seen a lawn mower inside of a building before (oh, you know, like in a HARDWARE STORE or anything like that).

Ah well, it didn't annoy me that much, but it was definitely a recurring comment.
 
OMG. I've run into about half of these. LOL!

If thre's a cute woman in one of these types of situations, my first instict in to lay on some lame jokes like these, then I think "Don't be an ass - you know she's hot and gets hit on my every single man that comes through here." So I usually just smile and nod at her. 🙁 I suck at teh ladies - good thing I'm married.

ohohhhhh my God! i HATE that. man, especially when you have to go to a hotel or some public place. man, seriously.. i want to kill each person who says that ish. i have accidentally been a dick to the person who really ordered it too because of all the schmucks that say that crap. they the dicks who are trying to be funny laugh at their own feeble joke. i've actually tried to console a pizza guy at the mall one time.. because everyone was saying "oh.. thats mine" and i said "dude.. i feel your pain man.. " but i think he thought i was heckeling him too.. i've delivered pizza's for too many years now.. i've been stiffed too many times in the rain, had to take the trash out too many times for old people, and i have walked through too many unshoveled driveway/walkways to deserve those lame ass jokes. i wish they would walk a mile in my bitter frozen soaking shoes in the winter time.. then i wouldnt tip them and let them stand in the rain.. stupid m-f-beyotches!

If you think that pizza delivering is rigorous, you need to get an actual hard job.
 
well, delivering pizza's is a flexible job which allows for a changing college schedule. so after i earn my degrees i'll try this actual hard job you speak of. but in the mean time i'll continue to progress, even if i have to deliver pizzas to do it. also, just because it isnt a hard job doesnt mean there isn't a lot of stress that goes along with it. especially when you have stuff that goes wrong with your car, or get a ticket.

The next time someone asks "Is that mine?" you should reply "I don't know...are you the pervert that ordered the seamen and fecal matter pizza?"
 
I deal in a casino, we hear some bad ones...like when the cut card comes out on blackjack, atleast 5 times a night I hear "ooh wild card! ha ha ha!" or someone on 3 card poker, for example, has 7-4-3 and they say "hey, does that count for a pair, it adds up to two sevens!" Rediculous. People constantly ask me if I'm going to "help them out" or if it's going to "be a good shoe." please, just stfu.
 
I work at a liquor store, stupid comments I get A LOT

"So, do you sell a lot of liquor here?"

*typically drunk'ish man "hay! you're all out of 6 pack's of Bud, so you have to sell me a 12 for the same price since you don't have what I want!"

*man buying penthouse/porn* "it's not for me, my wife wanted it..."
