Dear readers,
There are plenty of entitled customers out there who seem to think the world revolves around them. Then there are those extreme examples who seem to think they’re the main character in their own story, and everyone else is an NPC. Those people who think that out of the whole world and its eight billion people, only their experience matters, and if it didn’t happen to them, it didn’t happen to anyone.
We’ve rounded up twelve stories from the Not Always Right archives about these arrogant customers! Please remember that other people’s needs exist when you’re done!
Jealousy Is A (Rude) Green-Eyed Monster – When they absolutely have to be the only customer you care about today…
A-Paul-ing Service – Why listen to the name they call out when you’ve obviously the only customer they’re serving?
Hardcovers Vs. Hard Hats – Ah… the “I needed something so you have to have it” type of customer, the flipside of the “it didn’t happen to me so it never happened” customer…

Dear readers,
Since we’ve started publishing Clients From Hell stories, we’ve received way more newer submissions than we ever expected! The problems of clients who don’t know what they want, make impossible demands, and grossly misunderstand your technical knowledge are nothing new, but sadly, it looks like they aren’t going away, either! So, buckle up for this roundup of some of our crazier “Clients From Hell” stories that prove that sometimes it might not be so bad in retail after all…
Bad Energy Versus Bad Blood – When Mom foots the bill, then she can complain.
Pretty Much What Most History Books Are Doing These Days – The times may have changed, but history can’t be changed.
Money Can Be Exchanged For Goods *AND SERVICES* – Hits from the comments: “That’s a fascinating attitude that I’m sure will amuse the courts to no end before they fine the pants off you, sir.” (Credit: Xodiac)

Dear readers,
Unfortunately for society (but fortunately for those looking for funny stories), our first roundup on this subject wasn’t enough. There is such an abundance of customers out there who believe giving out their zip code means the government is putting 5G into their cereal, that we had to round up sixteen more stories about conspiracy theory nuts!
From paranoid preppers to those believing barcode scanners give you cancer, we’ve got them all! Please enjoy… and report any aberrant behavior to your nearest Not Always Right help center!
Conspiracy Weary – Hits from the comments: “The bag wouldn’t matter anyway… the lizard people can see though them.” Credit: 2ScoopSnoop
The Da Vinci Code 3: Running Out Of Conspiracies – We find it very interesting that this customer is so concerned with half a cent…
Hope For The Best, Prepare For The 50 Megaton Blast – A heat source without power? Valid concern. That other thing? It’ll kinda make your head explode.

Dear readers,
Christmas is once again upon us, and whether you celebrate it or not, the whole team here at Not Always Right wishes you a happy and stress-free holiday! Some people adore the Christmas season with all the pretty lights, gift exchanges, and family gatherings. Others dread it for reasons that are personal… or customer-related.
We’ve rounded up 15 stories from the Not Always Right archives about the grinchiest, most frustrating customers you can encounter during the holidays. Please enjoy!
Wish You Could Be Real With The Customers – We hope her stocking is filled with coal and her Christmas souffle falls.
Not Paying Top Dollar – It’s almost like Christmas is a rough time to go shopping. Wild.
Not How A Lady Should Behave Over Lady Fingers – If that’s all it took to “ruin your Christmas”, it probably wasn’t that great to begin with.
