You just made my day.

Holy shit. I thought idiots like that only existed in the movies

Wow. So she went to the wrong store? I laughed.

Lol, amazing!

Wow.... Just.... Just wow.....

The sad thing is that she probably still doesn't realize that Office Max is a totally different store.

Oh no, That's what I got everyday at my working place too !
I'm working in public office (delivering passports, ID card, Driving license and car's paper).

I can't tell all the things happening here (ethics), but it can be very hard/comical sometime.

like this women how wanted to make an ID Card for her husband
- We need to see your husband because he has to do his finger print
- no! he can't move, he is at the hospital
- we need him to come, or we can go to hospital for your convenience. you need to make a letter to the mayor and ask our service to go to hospital to do his paper filling and finger print.
- he will not come here and I don't want to write the mayor ! he is dying and can't move, he has only few days to live
- ..., You know it needs 1 month to have a new card, Will he really need it ? the one he currently has is still valid in France. he don't need to make a new one.
- Yes, but he want his new card before he die ! he is very fond of his paper validity.
- ..., ok ... if he can't come, you need to ask the mayor that we go to hospital.
It last well 30 minutes like that before she leaved furious, and never wrote the letter.


Hopefully, the majority of people are kind and nice. They understand pretty well, but we have 2 or 3 people a day who are like that.

I too can assure you they exist, I did this story a while back but I was in index one day scoring a set of cheapo speakers. Lady walks in with argos receipt to return a year old £30 stereo.

Anyhow thanks for these jumpman17, since everyone I know no longer really deals with the public these sort of stories have all but dried up.

Some people are so stupid.
But they make for good laughs.

This is great!

The preceding explains in stunning clarity why I have neeeeeever worked in any capacity in any form of occupation that deals with common humanity.

I wouldn't man a customer service desk to save my life.

omg hahaha
