Now den. Work sucks.. we all know dis. No matta what ya be workin at or on dere is problems, all jobs have em. Ya get dirty, ya hurt yaself, and some days jus nuttin goes right. But nuttin messes up ya day like utta people. Dere be NO situation dat someone can't make worse.

So in honor of dis I propose a game dat I be callin "What Dey Said, What I said, What I should have said" Dis is how ya play...

Write down here what dey said to you, write down what you said to dem, den write down what you WOULD have said if ya wern't worried about being fired.

let me give ya two example from my and Shaons experience

What Customer Said: Excuse me, Do you engrave here (to me, as I was standing over the engraving machine working on a item)
What I said: Certainly
What I Should Have Said: "No, This is a bakery... would you like a muffin?"

Shaons

What Customer Said: "What does tuo mean?" Pointing to glass exit door
What Shaon Said: "Erm... that's Out when viewed from the other side"
What She Should Have Said: "That's out when viewed from the other side.....Idiot"

I'm sure ya got ya own.. let us know eh?

*Scene: I'm standing behind the cash register in uniform. *
What customer said: Do you work here?
What I said: Yes.
What I should have said: Nope, sorry. (Would have loved to see what they said to that. I mean honestly, how dense can you be to ask such an obvious thing?!)

(( facing baking isle)) oh and this is something that happened to me while working at a store.

What customer said: Do you sell cupcake/muffin pans?
What I said: Yes we do *points*
What I should have said: OMG i dont work here!!! Im just messing around omg open your eyes and look around!!!!

seriously i woudl of said that if i couldnt get fired. -_-

after pulling a guy over.
He said-Nice handcuffs I bet your wife loves them in bed.
I said- No, but your girlfriend sure did
What I SHOULD have said-Sir I need to see your licence and base pass

Editor: Is this supposed to be in? *Holds up battery for laptop*

roflmao ohhh thats good

What Customer Said:: You parked NEXT to me, how am I supposed to get into my car??
What I Said: Get in the other side? I've been parked here since four am.

What I SHOULD have said: Sorry, I'll move this at once.

...yeah, I got fired. And couldn't find another job, lost my house, had to give up my rl pets... Sometimes what you DID say is actually better. Then again, I -was- parked there since four am...


PS: Redith--if that guy had ANY wit, he'd have said what came to my mind: "I'm into men. ...That uniform looks really good on you, by the way."

What customer said: ((To one of my associates, who is a 95% Cherokee)) Are you a real indian?
What my associate said: Yes ma'am, I am Cherokee.
What I SHOULD have said: Nah, she is just WAY to tan.

What Customer said: Can I look at that?
What I said: Sure, just let me get it out of the case.
What I should have said: Aren't you already?

These are fun. I worked in a haunted mine for a year or so. Not a real mine, but I'm pretty good at convincing people.

What the Customer said: Is this elevator safe?
What I said:Most of the time. It likes to freefall some days.
What I should have said smiling as the doors closed: As long as I don't cut the cable!

When I worked in a department store.

Customer: What color was the red bike that was on sale?
Me: Umm Red.
What I should have said: Think about the question you just ask.

This happened to me in-game.
Im standing in SW, on that fountain by the bank, and a pally runs up.
What they said: (in a whisper) Is that Krush?
What I said: Yep.
What I should of said: No, its the other Green Devilsaur.
A warrior did the same thing not 1 minute later, with the same reply from me.

I think the best customer comment I EVER had was this...

I worked at an electronics shop. A woman came in looking a bit clueless. I'd describe her appearance but it'd make me sound like the kind of person who judges people at first glance...

Anyway, she held out a camcorder to me. She played back the video; it was sideways by ninety degrees. She then held the camera on its side, demonstrating, and said this...

"How come when I hold the camera like this, the video comes out sideways??"

I caught a shoplifter....she was 15 or 16, so we had to call her parents....

What she said: I'd really rather you not call my mom.

What I said: I'd really rather people not steal from my store. Looks like neither of us is getting what we want, huh

What I should have said: see above

(I love the fact that I can get snarky at work)

Another shoplifter:

What she said: I'm not a criminal!

What I said: nothing, was too busy trying to type a report without laughing

What I should have said: uhh...theft is a crime....you just committed theft..soo...yeah! You're a criminal!

I think the repressed laugh would be funnier! :D

It probably was, but...it's still fun to watch the realization hit them...the look of "Oh. Crap. I'm screwed!"

I'm a bit sadistic like that....lol

What I Should Have Said: "No, This is a bakery... would you like a muffin?"

^ This one reminded me of last week in a class


Works as a fashion lecturer at a collage....


What a student said: "Does this look good or what? (a boobtude she has just made)"

What her friend said: "Hey where my coffee? Looks like my muffins arrived without it!"

What I should have said: ^

What I did: "Bit my tongue as to not giggle... just a little."
