    It Will Be All Right Angled On The Night

    | Montreal, QC, Canada | Home Improvement

    (I had dealt with this customer three hours before this phone call to make an 16×20 frame. I’ve given them a copy of the bill so they can see all the information.)

    Customer: “I think the girl who did my order made a mistake! I think she wrote the sizes in backwards.”

    Me: “Backwards? Did she write 61×02?”

    Customer: “No. Were it says ‘width’ she wrote 20, but the width is 16!

    Me: “Did she write 16 as the height ma’am?”

    Customer: “Yes! But that means the frame will be longer than wide.”

    Me: “The frame looks the same on all sides ma’am. 20×16 and 16×20 are the same size. All they’ll have to do is turn it 90 degrees.”

    Customer: “They’re smart enough to do that?”

    | Silver Spring, MD, USA | Extra Stupid, Pets & Animals

    (Note: we sell fake jelly fish as tank decorations.)

    Me: “May I help you?”

    Customer: “I want some jelly fish, but I need you to answer some questions first.”

    Me: “Of course. Go for it.”

    Customer: “How do I keep them alive in this plastic packaging?”

    Me: “They aren’t alive.”

    Customer: “So why are you trying to sell them?!”

    Me: “They’re decorations. They’re made of plastic.”

    Customer: “How am I supposed to know this?”

    Me: “They are plastic, have a string attached to them, have a sign that says ‘plastic jelly fish’, and they say ‘made in china’ on them.”

    Customer: *pause* “I’ll just take one of those castle decorations…”

    Me: “Yes, ma’am. What seems to be the problem today?”

    Customer: “Well, I was on the computer, and all of these naughty images started to pop up. Well, I didn’t want my grandkids thinking their grandma was into something nasty, so I started to delete things and well…I’ve deleted the internet!”
