Everyone's sharing their job stories, so here's mine.
I work for a major electronics retailer.
A lady (who appeared realitivly normal) in her mid thirties came in and wanted a cordless phone. (not a cell, mind you).
After showing her a phone and telling her allllll about cordless phones (which with some people is more of a challenge then you may think) she picked one out.
Then she says, "I'll be able to use this in my car, right?"
"no, ma'am... if you want a phone for your car you'll need a cell phone."
"I already have a cell phone."
(me being funny)"well, you can use it in your car if it's parked in your drive, but you can't go very far with a house phone..."
"well what's the POINT of a cordless phone then?!"
"to walk around your house with"
"Can you show me one that I can take in my car?"
"Uh, well, that would be a cellphone"
She walks down to another cordless phone, "and what about this one? How far does it go?"
"They all go about the same distance... none of these phones will go more then about a block from your house."
Then she goes into some tirade about the company I work for, and the fact that the products they carry are useless... "I can't believe anyone would buy a cordless phone that you couldn't take out!"
My guess is that she was frozen like Walt Disney for a few centuries.

I love stupid people who actually get angry at other people. I wonder if she'll ever realize how fucking stupid she is? My guess is no.

Wow. That lady was dumb. You should have killed her. It would have been the humane thing to do.
