A guy called in yesterday and explained that he had $450 to spend and wanted a laptop around $450. He then asked how much would that a laptop cost if it was around $450.

Straightforward Confusion
An older woman walked in this morning. She seemed upset and asked, “Where is the guy in the brown shirt?” I explained to her that I was the only person here and she said, “You don’t have a brown shirt on. Where’s your brown shirt?” She then started to lift my shirt up so she could see if I was hiding a shirt underneath. I stopped her and asked if her there was anything I could help her with. She asked, “If I have the Quickbooks disk and I bring you my computer, can you install it for me?” I answered yes. She responded, “Well I can install it myself.” Then she walked out the door whistling for a dog that wasn’t there.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
Today I watched a guy get solicited by some methy looking hooker in our parking lot. The guy declined in which her response was to cry and then yell at him. He walked into my work and said, “What kind of demonic hokey pokey is that shit?”
I confused…
This morning a guy just asked me, “This isn’t a computer?” As he waves around a DVD movie of Monsters Inc.
I really got to find a new job.
While cleaning what looked like human feces from the side walk in front of our store. A man in a suit walked up to me and asked me if I would help him take his pants off. An argument ensued after I declined and ended with the guy leaving the parking lot saying, “I guess I’ll have to take my own pants off. thanks for nothing cock sucker.”
Indoor Voice Please
A guy of possible homeless status opened the door and stuck his head in. He screamed, “Hey, listen to me!” I turned abruptly to see what the guy was going to do. As soon as I look at him he says, “If you said hello to the world, would the world say hello back? Think about that shit.”
You might want to slow down there bud…
A guy who we had to open both doors so he could fit in, just asked me if I knew where to buy “a desk that you eat off of”. I tried to clarify by asking him if he was looking for a dinner table. He responded with “yes that’s it, it’s starting to hurt my feet to stand up and eat all the time”.
Screw you doughnut charity guy!
This guy of rather questionable credentials comes in first thing this morning. He’s carrying 4 or 5 boxes of doughnuts. He claims to be from some organization that needs money for children’s cancer research. He’s also eating something and talking with his mouth full.
The box of doughnuts was only $2 so I decided why not. He leaves the box and thanks me on behalf of the children. I leave the box out to share with my boss. My boss just walked in and opened the box. I hear him yell, “What the fuck”. I run over the look and two of the doughnuts have already had a bite taken out of them. My boss is complaining to me, thinking I’ve taken a bite out of the doughnuts and just put them back in the box.
Numbers should not screw people up like this.
A guy comes in a couple of hours after he drops his computer off. He was supposed to bring us the power adapter to his laptop he dropped off earlier. Instead he brings us another laptop and external hard drive with no cables at all. My boss talked to him for a minute explaining how we don’t stock adapters for every single model and how it’s kid of hard to work on a laptop with a dead battery like these. When he was done explaining that he confirmed we had the right phone number for the guy. My boss says the phone number like this to the customer, fifty-five, five, thirty-three fifteen. The customer said that was wrong and said his phone number was, five five five, three three one five.
Some people…
Yesterday I had a guy try to give me about half the money that was due on his invoice. I told him it wasn’t enough when I counted it. He then said, “It will be OK just take that.” I explained to him that it won’t be OK when the cash draw doesn’t add up at the end of the day. He then threatened to kill me if we didn’t give him his xbox back. I called the cops on him at this point. My boss held him at gun point until the cops got here. Turns out this guy had a warrant out for his arrest for not paying child support. They took him to jail and we got to keep his xbox 360. All he needed was $17 more dollars and he’d have enough to pay his $39 bill.
