Maybe He Should Look Up Irony
(I work at an office supply store and one night an elderly gentleman comes up to the register and sets his items down, one item being a dictionary and thesaurus.)
Customer: *pointing to dictionary* “What’s a thesaurus?”
Me: “It shows you synonyms and related words. It’s a great tool for writers.”
Customer: “Oh, okay.” *pays and leaves*
(Used to answering stupid questions without flinching, I didn’t think much about it until after he left. Then we all had a good laugh over the fact that he asked what thesaurus meant while purchasing a dictionary…)
Question of the Week
Have you ever served a bad customer who got what they deserved?
