    I worked at a summer camp, in which all the children wear bright yellow shirts, with red shorts. There were >300 of them running around in a field, and a parent came up to me and asked, "where are the junior guards?"

    .... did you MISS the highlighter-yellow tshirts, woman?

    On the fourth of july I worked the beach and I had an english-impared old man come up and ask me which way the beach was.

            I work at a Gas station that closes promptly at 4:00 sunday afternoon, its prompt because i wanna go home.

            I have 2 signs that both say sorry we are closed and an LED sign that reads open/closed. as well as having the lights out.

            Sometimes when i have to finish paperwork it can take me up to 2 hours

            so at around 5:45 (more than an hour and a half after i closed) i still have ppl coming up asking for gas and wondering why the pumps will not start.

            I just leave em there till they see the signs right in front of their face.

            Then they knock a few more times and i start laughing hysterically

              One of my friends wanted to order Buffalo Wings at this retaurant near the movie theater. She went up and asked the guy for buffalo wings, and he asked her "Hot or Mild?". She answered, "Which one is hotter?".

                I think I made a thread just like this a couple years ago..

                Man I had a couple good ones recently too, I forgot them.. Sad part was after it happened I was like "I should post that.." But I forgot

                Not really stupid things, but stupid people. I work at the Home Depot. I sold a grill to someone (Assembled) After paying for it they are like "This is gonna fit in my car, right?" .. HONDA CIVIC. YEA. Huge *** assembled grill. Its gonna fit... Thats just the begining of it though. the things people expect to fit in their cars. And get mad at us because they can;t.

                  I worked at Target as a cashier over winter break, ugh. EVERY SINGLE TIME something wouldn't scan properly, without fail, the smartass customer would retort with "heh, guess it must be free!" My God that gets old quickly.

                    Back in high school, I worked at an office supply store, and we'd have people come in and buy these huge desks that wieghted 200-300lbs. They's expect you to load it into their car (almost always an econo-box) with no help at all.

                    A few years latter I worked at Lowes, fortunately customers there were responsible for figuring their own loading solutions, we only supplied the muscle. But there, I had this little old lady come in one day and wanted to know how much Ukrops (a grocery store across the street) charged for the same grass seed that we carried, then she got pissed off when I didn't know the answer (not even my department).

                            Me: "What would the name of the equipment be?"
                            Customer: "Umm...a Hot Tub."

                            2.)
                            Customer:"Yeah I need to know if a toilet Booster Seat would be covered under my insurance.
                            Me:"Whats the medical Diagnosis its associated with sir?"
                            Customer: "Well my balls hang in the water."
