(I fall off a ladder at work, and severely twist my ankle. Eventually, I manage to stand up, and try to hop my way to the manager. An older woman in her sixties stops me.)
Customer: “Are you okay?”
Me: “No, actually, I’ve just fallen off the ladder. I’m just trying to find my manager.”
Customer: “Oh, dear, you shouldn’t be walking on that. Here, get on my back. I’ll give you a piggy back ride.”
Me: “Umm… that’s nice of you, but I can just hop over there.”
(As I’m hopping away…)
Customer: “LET ME GIVE YOU A PIGGY BACK RIDE!”

(I work for a trash service. The customer I’m speaking with had an account several years ago that was cancelled due to non-payment. It still has a balance.)
Me: “I’m sorry, ma’am. We cannot reactivate your account unless there is a zero balance.”
Customer: “Well I only put out my trash once a month! I will only pay for once a month pickup! I will not pay that amount!”
Me: “But once a month pickup is not a service we offer in any area.”
Customer: “I don’t care! I only put out my trash once a month! You are just trying to get more money out of me!”
Me: “Okay, so let me get this straight: you want to pay for a service that doesn’t exist, only because you say it does?”
Customer: “Yes!”

(I work for a company that sells musical equipment. I am taking a call from an older gentleman who tells me that he is a priest. He has been very nice for the duration of the call, and we are almost finished placing his order.)
Priest: “Now, could you give me 15% off on this? You would be doing the Lord’s work if you could get me 15% off my order!”
Me: “Well, I don’t think I have a 15% off coupon, right now. I’ll check and see.”
(I put him on hold, and check my available coupons. There is only a 10% coupon. I return to the customer with this.)
Me: “So, I couldn’t get you 15% off. I do have a 10% coupon, though!”
Priest: “Child, do you what to go to Hell?!”
(I am taken aback.)
Me: “I’m sorry?”
Priest: “Hell, Child. If you don’t give me 15% off my order, your soul will rot in Hell for all eternity!”
Me: “I’m a red-head, sir; I don’t have to worry about that. Now, is there anything else I can add to your order today?”

(A mother and her six-year-old child approach the concession at around 7:00 PM.)
Child: “I want a coke!”
Mother: “No, sweetie, you can’t have caffeine. Would you like some root beer instead?”
Child: “Okay!”
Me: “Oh, actually, this brand of root beer does have caffeine.”
Mother: “Shush! Work with me here.”
Me: “Um… okay?”
(I proceed to make the drink. The child wanders a short distance away, looking at a poster.)
Me: “So, why do you not want him to know it has caffeine?”
Mother: “Well, it’s all psychological, like a placebo. I don’t want him up all night!”
