I've just found this brilliant blog. It is called Not Always Right, and it's where people can submit really stupid or rude things customers have said or done to them.
Customer: “What time does the film start?”
Me: “The film starts fifteen minutes after the time on your ticket. There are fifteen minutes of ads and trailers.”
Customer: “No, I said what time does the F-I-L-M start?!”
Me: “The film starts after fifteen minutes of trailers, so fifteen minutes after whatever it says on the ticket. Your ticket says 3:30 pm, so the film would start at 3:45, okay?”
Customer: “Don’t blind me with science!”
~~
Me: “Hello, ma’am, is there anything I can help you find?”
Customer: “Yes. I need to find a book on rodents.”
Me: “Rodents?”
Customer: “Yes, I have some little creature running around my garage and I need to know what it is. I think it might be a vulva.”
Me: “Um…”
Customer: “You know, it’s small and looks like a mole or a hamster. A vulva.”
Me: “I think you mean a ‘vole’.”
Customer: “Oh right, that’s it. Do you have any books on voles?”
~~
Me: “Welcome to ****, what can I get for you today?”
Customer: “Yes, I’d like a medium coffee with twenty-seven and a half sugars.”
Me: “I’m sorry, was that…twenty-seven and a half?”
Customer: “Yes.”
Me: “You’re sure you don’t just want the twenty-eight?”
Customer: “Ewww, gross! That’d be too sweet.”
This is exactly why I left working in the library branches. I can't be nice to fucktards like these.
