The most ridiculous thing you've ever heard from a customer

[xSauronx]

"excuse me but I *do not* perspire!"

from a woman who had perspiration rings under one of her silk blouses.

Here's another rediculous customer story:

I worked at gamestop for a stint last year and in that time I went through 3 managers and about 5 asst. managers. I ended up running the damn store most of the time and I hardly even knew what the hell was going on for the first month. We even had one of our asst. managers offer us beer and pizza if we grossed more than EB the day after Thanksgiving. So many memories...

One day, I was doing my thing, walking around doing the meet and greet, pushing some game. I was talking to a customer, just idle chat, when all of the sudden I hear. "GIVE ME THE F***ing GAME! WHUYR MUH GAME AT! GIMME MUH F***ing GAME!" This is GameStop so of course there are about 20 preteens running around doing whatever, and besides we have a store policy of no profanity. I walk over and ask him to go outside if he is going to use that language. He replies, in the most angry voice you could ever imagine, "I'M TWENTY-TWO YEARS OLD, AND I DO WHATEVER THE F*** I WANT!" He then takes about 10 games off the rack, throws them at my chest in a frisbee style and runs out. Security never got him.

You sound like a truly pathetic person.

Hhm, I think I'm going to leave this forum. It was a funny story, just like his first post and you guys are just giving him hell. Not a welcoming community at all.

Don't know what everyone else's problem is, but I always enjoy hearing customer-from-hell stories, so keep em up. 🙂

 

[LiquidImpulse]

that 1st and 2nd one was a rofl moment 😛

 

[Malak]

Back in the day when I worked at Burger King, I had a customer pull into the drive through, where I was sitting on a stool. See, our power had just gone out 5 minutes earlier, and I had to direct traffic elsewhere. I told her the power was out and we could not serve any food(everything in BK requires power to be cooked or kept cooked). She didn't believe me, and I had to say slowly, "We cannot serve any food right now". What does she do? She pulls forward to the drive through window and asks my manager if we were serving any food. WTF?

Right away I think I know who I'd rather have around here.

Dang folks. The guys first thread was genuinely funny. And he's already shown more nettiquette than folks who have been here for 1 year. So far nobody with the right to bash him has done so.

 

[Kanalua]

I wish more spammers would contribute to the forum, like in the present case.

At least hide your spamming with a witty or humorous story, I liked it...

I like Dane Cook's stories about the BK Lounge. Especially the ones about the drive-thru:

Why to this day do people insist on yelling at the drive thru?
It's modern technology. I'd have my little headset.
Welcome to Burger King. May I please take your order?
WHOPPER. Sir? WHOPPER NO ONION.
Excuse me, I'm ****** bleeding from the ears here ok?
Let's turn the main down a tad, ok skidrow?
LARGE FRY MOTHAFUCKA! I CAN'T HEAR YOU BURGER KING!
ARE YOU READY TO ROCK BK BROILER?

It was a good read

I'm not quite sure why you guys are ragging on him so much. He's not really persuading us to apply to his place of employment, and his stories invoke at least minimal amusement.

You sound like a total jerk ... and to the OP, not everyone here jumps to conclusions & that was a funny first post.

So being hostile to other members is in fashion these days? It certainly seems so.

This has been true here for the past few years and its only increasing. The other forums aren't nearly as fun as this one but not quite as hostile and rude. This is only a few members, but the vast majority of the Anandtech community is great. I understand your concerns about spam and other similar stuff, but really, do we always have to be assholes?

It's like a competition as to who can diss more than the other member.

Eisenhower University's minimum requirement to be considered for the Bachelor of Science degree (BS) is 4 years of work experience in a field directly related to the major or a combination of both work experience and college credits totaling a minimum of 4 years. Work experience considered may include military service.

The applicant should have kept up with changes in his or her field of expertise and should have writing skills strong enough to compose short essays without serious errors in grammar and spelling. A BS degree applicant has worked in a stable environment and advanced from routine work to work requiring more skill and responsibility over others.

Im tech supervisor at a well known computer company that sounds like "smell"

1. this is one of my all time favorites. the funny part was that the lady was sincere.

me: mam can you click on the start button with your mouse?

cust: (obvious tapping of the mouse to the CRT screen)

2. This one was in fact transfered over from the hardware department as it was determined according to customers remarks a software problem....

Cust: some of the keys on my keyboard are not working and i can only use an external mouse (laptop)

me: how long has this been going on and do you remember anything that may have damaged it such as too much pressure or dropping it?

cust: about a week and I only use it to go on the internet to talk to relatives and i dont remember dropping it.

me: do you have a docking station/installed uninstalled programs/any other external devices about a week ago?

cust: no but i did spill some wine on it but i cleaned it up very well.

me: (transfered back to hardware and they ended up having a tech going out to replace the keyboard/touchpad and inspect the mobo)

3. Cust cannot connect to the internet with a laptop and wireless card.

me: ok sir who is your internet service provider?

cust: i dont know.

me: when is the last time you connected to the inernet?

cust: the last time i could connect was at my daughters house.

(cust ended up not having an internet service but paid $xxx for tech supporet and about 30 minutes of explanation of wireless and internet... ended up getting a refund)



ok i know a lot more dumber and funny ones just cant think of them at the moment as i just got off. yes... redneck, foreign, american, old, young.... we get really funny questions day in and day out. the funny part is when people dont understand why their computer gets so messed up and they usually spent like a couple hours trying to fix it themselves and most of all dont have any security (firewall, antivirus...).

statistically the people that have the super high end $3000 desktops are in their 80s but only use it for email and solitare (literally)
The young college know-it-alls wonder why their bargain bin $300 desktop cant play Sims2 or why they get so many viruses when all they do is go myspace and limewire.

Another funny point is when people who do business from home or have 1000s of pictures and have SUPER IMPORTANT business/home data and all that mess but their drives crash or filesystems get uber corrupted... but they dont have any backups whatsoever... hehe CD burner? never used it... DVD burner? never used it...

 

[S Freud]

:thumbsup: Good stuff

 

[imported_Tick]

Good stuff, but the question remains: Is the OP a spammer?

 

[l Xes l]

whether they are made up or not..
Her: No no! Wait! Nesara Nesara Nesara Nesara Nesara Nesara Nesara Nesara Nesara Nesara Nesara Nesara Nesara Nesara Nesara Nesara Nesara Nesara Nesara Nesara Nesara Nesara Nesara Nesara Nesara Nesara Nesara Nesara Nesara Nesara Nesara Nesara Nesara Nesara Nesara !!!!!!

This definitely sounds like a degree mill.

The spam method is pretty clever, I was tempted to click on the link because the story was funny and inviting. "Ha ha my work place has some funny antics, here's a link if you want to check out our website!"

He's definitely a spammer, didn't remove the link in his original message despite 5 people telling him to do so before he made a reply. He obviously read the responses and ignored him.

On a side note, can I get some free herbal supplements while you're here?

I'm confused, why give a degree after you have the job experience?
