Remembered one from a long time ago when I worked at TGI Fridays: A lady called up freaking out because she was pregnant and had just eaten the Jack Daniels shrimp. She was going to sue us for making her baby have birth defects, and how was she supposed to know there was alcohol in the Jack Daniels shrimp? :smack:
My dad and stepmother do that, too. They’re at a dam on the Columbia River this summer.
I wonder if our families have ever crossed paths.
Or people who don’t have the common sense to administer systems correctly from the beginning and maybe read some documentation every so often. For every techy genius who wiped his MBR while debugging his homebrew disk forensics tool, he’s going to get many morons who don’t understand why running Firefox as root is a monumentally bad idea.
Had a lovely one today:
Her: I need 2 of the xyz1ch
Me: Ok, that’s the chocolate designer cello bags, they’re 100 for $16.50 and you want 2 of them, right?
Her: Yes. Can you tell me what colour those are?
Me: They’re chocolate brown
Her: Oh. So, they’re brown? Like chocolate?
Me: Yes. What else do you need today?
Her: The xyz1red, one box
Me: That’s the red designer cello bags, also 100 for $16.50. You said 1 box?
Her: Yes. What colour are these bags?
:smack: Happens way the hell too often around here. The sad thing is, this woman is a pretty big customer. She has 2 shops and she is the person who does the ordering every time. She orders around twice a month for each store. No joke, after we went through that, she ordered the exact same things for her other store – and asked the exact same questions.
