12 Hilarious Stories About Customers Who Were So Clueless Employees Just Went With It

Dear readers,

Sometimes you will come across a customer who is so ignorant, so clueless, so completely disconnected from the realities of how the world works that, instead of wasting effort trying to explain, it is sometimes easier to just go with it.

We’ve rounded up twelve hilarious stories from our archives where the employees chose their battles and decided to just “go with it” when confronted with such customers:
