I work at a popular italian restaurant as a food/kitchen runner. Sucks. A woman ordered a salad. She sent the salad back complaining that the vegetables in the salad were too "crispy and fresh." She asked for us to put it in the microwave with butter. People are simply ridiculous.
Balloons
I work at a party ware shop selling balloons etc to the public. One day a woman comes in and asks for 4 number balloons (the huge ones that are 40 inches high) so I proceed to blow them up with helium and begin to put them in a big bag when she stops me and says she's come on her bike and she's going to tie them to the handlebars. I point out (incredulously) that it's going to be very difficult to cycle with balloons on the handlebars and they might fly away but she waves me away saying she'll be fine. She pays, ties on the balloons and cycles off, leaving me thinking she's mad. An hour later she walks back in again, she's me and sheepishly asks for 4 more balloons. I ask if they came off the handlebars, she says no, she got them all the way home, untied them but she lost hold of one of them and in a panic she grabbed for it...with the hand holding the other balloons. What amazed me most was that she came back and admitted it!
As a bartender, I usually have to deal with people who are douchebags when they are drunk. Some are fine, and if they get too aggressive or stupid, I can cut them off or make them drink water. However, I can't really do anything unless they ask for another drink. One night not too long ago, a girl was in the bar I worked at and was mucking around with her friends. She was... Read More »
I work as a bagger at the grocery store on a navy base during the breaks when I'm home from school. We don't get a salary, just tips. This can be both good and bad at times, usually bad considering we have only one small sign to let people know this (we used to have more but one person complained they felt pressured to tip...well you should when we cram 2 carts worth of...

I work at a drug store, and one day we had a guy who was at least 65 come in, furious he could not find non-lubricated condoms. His reasoning for needing them was because he if he used lubricated ones, the lube got in his eyes and it burnt like hell. I try not to think of what exactly he was doing with them.
I work as an intern doing HTML coding, and I get paid eight dollars an hour. Recently, I've been working with a head coder from a major online company, and when I sent him my coding he ruined it, forcing me to fix it all and do his job for him because he didn't know how it got messed up. He gets paid five times what I do.
One day I was one break from my job at the pool store, so I was sitting in my car in the parking lot to check my phone and get away for a little. While I'm sitting there, an couple comes out of the store and starts loading their pool supplies in their car. As the morbidly fat wife opens the side door to put things in she hits my car with her door. I just stare out the window... Read More »
