Dear readers,
It’s a crazy time in the world right now, so we’re going to leave it all behind for a day and go look at some amazing animals at the zoo! Unfortunately, zoos also have to deal with entitled and clueless customers as much as any other place. Some of the stories we have received make us wonder if the animals in the exhibit have more intelligence than the guests gawping at them.
We’ve rounded up ten stories about clueless customers at the zoo. We often tell these types of stories, but these customers are different animals entirely!
Doesn’t Take A Genus – If by “close,” you mean they’re both mammals, I guess you’re right.
Bird Brained, Part 7 – This is why we fear for the future of our world. Sigh.
Noah’s Nondescript Ark – Hits from the comments: “Sounds like there wouldn’t be that much to read, so it probably isn’t that hard.”

Dear readers,
We’d like to wish all of our readers, but especially those who are serving, have served, or are family members of those serving and served, a happy Veteran’s Day!
In honor of their sacrifice, we’ve rounded up eighteen stories from our archives about awesome veterans, Veteran’s Day, and a few examples of why you shouldn’t disrespect the uniform. Take care, and thank you for your service.
It Marches In The Family – Their family gatherings must be fascinating!
Bagged Himself A Steal – Thank you for your service and your clothesline!
Once A Marine, Always A Marine – It takes more than physical strength to be a Marine.

Dear Readers,
We had so much fun with our first roundup about customers who are terrible listeners that we’ve decided to go another round! That, and the fact that the problem is so prevalent that we have a wealth of these kinds of stories to share with you!
So, rounded up below, are eleven more stories about customers whose listening skills leave a lot to be desired!
A Hole In Your Thinking, Part 3 – We’d come up with a pun for this story but it would probably be too cheesy.
Deaf Defying Customers – For some people, not hearing is a choice.
There’s No Such Thing As Half A Dozen Stupid Questions – Hits from the comments: “There are no stupid questions, only stupid people.”

Dear readers,
History is a HUGE subject, and no one can be expected to know it all. Can you name every President of the United States, or do you know the year Constantinople was founded? However, there are some common facts of history that everyone should know – for example, in WW2 the Nazis were the bad guys (and they STILL are!).
The next eleven stories from our archives are about customers with history knowledge gaps so big, you could fit the Roman Empire through it and still have some room for a few Chinese dynasties. These stories will go down in history!
The Great Emancipator Died Sooner Than Later – Anything that happened before I was born happened at the same time.
War On Knowledge – Okay, this is just painful.
Has Faith But Lost All Pope – First things first: can you read Aramaic?

Dear readers,
It’s that time of the month again to remind us that karma can also be a force for good, and re-establish a little hope for humanity!
Rounded up below are twenty-four inspirational stories from the month of October that spread a little joy around!
Tipped To Be A Good Day – Hits from the comments: “After a s***ty day, that lovely customer tipped the balance.”
A Yummy Meal AND Good Advice?! – It’s unfortunate that this kind of advice is necessary, but good eggs are out there!
That’s How We All Want To Go – This kid is living the dream.
