So what's the stupidest thing anyone's said to you this week?

{Last Friday}
Me: "I'm here to report a lost passport and visa".
Agent: "Fine. I'll need to see some international ID, please."
{I'm not kidding.}
 
This happened a few weeks ago.

My 4th period class (math) is split in half for lunch, so you have half the class, eat, and then come back for the second half. When the bell rang for lunch, I needed to go by my locker to get a book for my 5th period class because there wasn't enough time to go after 4th period (the math and english wings are on opposite sides of the school, and though they are both on the 2nd floor, the floors aren't connected and it's impossible to get to my locker and class in time).

As I was walking down the main hall, our school police officer stops me.
Her: Where are you going?
Me: My locker.
Her: You can't go now.
Me: Why not?
Her: You have to go as soon as the bell rings, not in the middle of the period.
Me: The bell JUST rang.
Her: What?
Me: The bell just rang now.
Her: Well, you're late for class then, come with me.
Me: No, I'm at lunch right now.
Her: No, you can't be at lunch right now, the bell just rang.
Me: What? The bell JUST rang to go to lunch and you're allowed to go between classes, right? [the lunch before me goes to their 4th period as my class leaves for lunch...so it's considered a class change]
Her: Yes, but you have to go when the bell rings.
Me: [frustrated] But the bell JUST RANG A MINUTE AGO!
Her: Oh, well I mean the end of lunch bell. You can't go now.

So, eventually give up and play by her rules; and of course, because my locker is on the other side of the building, I ran to it, got my stuff, and had to run to make it back to my 4th period on time...and the woman yells at me for running!!!
 
Duff-Man says...I had a person at work call because they had 'locked' their computer while going off to the bathroom and them when they came back they could not recall their password.

My conclusion - there really are people out there with sh*t for brains.....oh yeah!
 
"So did you like it as much as I did?"





*a shamfull lie!* *bows head down*
 
This was some time ago:

"The hotel gave me green tea instead of black, so I didn't get my caffeine kick this morning"
 
Don't know if this really counts, but it was funny anyway...

Well today I was working the early shift (5.30 - 9.30am and I work at a supermarket BTW) and around 7am this guy comes to my register. He's a regular - known as "the gambler" as he often pays for his groceries in $1 coins. This was the sequence of events and dialogue:

Gambler, walks up to my register, literally throws his shopping basket down on the conveyer, then starts throwing the contents out onto the conveyer.

Me: Hi, how are you?
Him: Grunt (kinda sounded like "fine")
I finish scanning his groceries.
Me: That comes to 22.55
Him: 55 cents...grumble...f***...grumble

While I finish off the transaction, he looks into his wallet and says f***, about 3 more times while staring into it. I hand him the receipt, he grabs his stuff, scrunches up the receipt, throws it with anger, to the end of my register, says f*** again and then walks off.

Someone must've had a bad night at the pokies.....
 
I think that's probably quite a bit friendlier than I would have been at 7:00AM this morning (or any Sunday morning). :D

My hat goes off to people like you, working as others rest. :cool:

I'm sure you wouldn't be as bad. :p
But I must say it takes a fair bit of effort for me to stay polite at that hour. You can imagine the number of times I've been ready to tell annoying customers to f*** off. :D

I only do it for the money. :D It's really not that bad actually. What I do is just stay out all night, then go straight to work for a couple of hours, then home to bed.
 
stupidest thing I heard...


mates mum: could you put the rice by the microwave?
mate: oh! rice *she'd just been shopping* whats for tea?
mates mum: rice.

probably had to be there.

oh and!

mates mum: give us a ring when you want to ring me

and from a while ago;
mum: I've never seen a live dead body before.

me: wheres the phone charger?
mum: its either up there or down here

mums are so daft :)
 
Oh I forgot about this. This wasn't something that someone said, but something I saw written on a poster at a rival supermarket:

"Come and be apart of our deli festival" :D

No I wouldn't consider that. I just wondered if you said something to the effect of "F off", or if you were more diplomatic about it.

Oh, sorry I didn't put quotes in. That is what I said to them.

You don't happen to go to North Springs do you?
 
If we're taking it into 'stupid' supermarkets, here's a cracker.

There used to be an amazing Conran deli on Kings Road in London called Bluebird. It used to stock just about every ingredient under the sun but sadly it got taken over by Sainburys (and has now closed down... surprise surprise after you read this one)

I wanted to make a kind of Tiramisu and I wanted a panettone to use at the base. Since it was Easter rather than Christmas, this was proving tricky. So I wandered up and went to the bakery section and asked for a panettone.

The girl looked a little confused, repeated it a few times and went off to ask someone if they sold them. She came back nearly 5 minutes later (at which point I'd walked right round and figured they didn't stock them) and told me that they only had pancetta.

I refused... since I'm not sure that cured pigs belly would have worked in my Tiramisu quite as well as the cake...:rolleyes:
 
More funny than stupid: A friend of mine stresses her "boyfriend" with short messages via her cell, but she says: "I coddle him with attention via SMS" (translated from german).

Earlier this week, I got sent a CD of images to go in a catalogue I'm working on. Unfortunately, the CD was a duff one, and none of our Macs (or the studio PC for that matter) could read it. I called them up to get a fresh CD sent.

"Are you on Macs there?" I was asked. I replied we were.

"Ah – that'll be the problem then. The CD's got JPEGs on and Macs can't open them, can they?"

Ha! That is brilliant, I can't remember the stupidest thing I've heard this week, probably something I said.
