When I lived in Holland a couple of my work mates asked "Are you in Holland because you can't go back to England because you're wanted for murder",, I don't think they have ever heard of extradition.

lol! This isn't really something I was asked, but a customer at my work honest to god thought I was pregnant. He even went as far to declare I was having a girl. I'm not fat by any means, which is why I was a tad bit confused..everyone I've told about it was confused too.. I just thought the fact that he actually, CONFIDENTLY thought I was having a girl was strange/amusing.

As a teenager, I worked at a major bookstore... and I can't tell you how many times I had people bring HUGE stacks of books to the customer service counter and tell me, "I'd like to check these out, please."

One time, after I reiterated to a lady that we weren't a library, she asked, "Well, can't you make an exception for me? I buy coffee from your cafe all the time..." Coffee costed a couple of dollars at the time, and they came with unlimited refills at no extra charge.

:wtf:

I would've said pregnancy is pretty obvious . ;)
The bookstore tale makes me realise some folk shouldn't be let out alone. :D

I don't get people sometimes,
Today a lady in the local post office asked if I was Polish even though I speak with a very distinct Geordie (North east of England) accent .
When I asked her what made her think that , she replied "You have high cheekbones". :wtf:

I have a VERY Italian nose, so I constantly get people asking me if I am from Israel... how that question comes about, I'll never know, but it seems to give people the gall to guess my nationality by the curvature of my nose. And I totally agree with you... some people need 24 hour chauffeurs to walk along the streets & stores with them to keep them from saying something utterly stupid.

Oh shit, that reminds me of ^^^ of a time when I got busted for smoking cigarettes on the street when I was like, 13..I am SUCH a bad ass. (legal age is 19 here). The cop asked my name, I told him "Amanda", then like 10 minutes later he goes "what's your name, Amanda?" I was like.."Uh..Amanda?"..

Hahaha...just today actually I was talking to a customer on the phone.. The dude is like, "Can you have them delivered before 5AM??". (The answer is obviously no).

About 2-3 sentences later..
"I want that before 5 AM, ok?". - "No."

Right before I close the sale..
"So that's going to be there before 5 AM right?"

NO GOD DAMNIT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE THERE BEFORE 5 AM! THE MAILMAN IS NOT EVEN AWAKE AT 5 AM!

It was real shits and giggles :jointsmile:

Those kinds of shits and giggles always made me want to strangle the shit out of the customer... or my boss for requiring that I put up with that crap every day.

Well, I think you are going about it the right way --- strangling a shit out of someone is a lot easier than strangling a giggle out of them.

That all depends. What if the person being strangled is a masochist? :wtf::D

Now here's weirdest question anyone will probably ask you today: do you think The Gimp is the dominant type, or more submissive?

The Gimp in Pulp Fiction was definitely the submissive type --- zipped up in some kind of leather cocoon, kept on a chain, locked in a hole in the bottom of a dungeon. Zed was the dominant type.

I guess it's pretty obvious that I've only seen that movie once. I do remember one bit from that whacked out scene, something about Zed getting "worked on" by pipe-hitters, pliers and a blowtorch. Now that I think about it, I really don't want to know what's happening in these dungeons.

Yeah, the pipes, pliers and blowtorch thing was something about "getting medieval on your ass." I'm with you on this --- keep clear of those dungeons.

I'm one of those people who sometimes asks weird questions. For example, I go into Starbucks now and then and ask if they have any used coffee grounds for gardening. I use them to make compost. Most of the time, they know exactly what you want, and most of the stores already bag used grounds back into the bags the beans come in, and then put a sticker on the bag that says "For your garden." But sometimes, you get someone who never heard of it, "You want USED grounds? What for?" They look at you like they suspect your are some kind of freak who is going to go home and make some "second pass" coffee out of their garbage.

So before anyone posts about how some whack job comes into the Starbucks where you work asking for used coffee grounds and then walks out carrying 40 pounds of garbage, gimme a break! I'm trying to save the planet here!

I've also stopped people who were raking up their leaves in their front yards and asked if I could have some. For compost again. They give me a wary look too.

Compost scroungers are so misunderstood.

I was walking down a street downtown one day and some grungy lookin guy (might have been homeless) just came up to me and randomly asked "Hey man, you wanna buy a cheeseburger?" while holding one in his hand LOL. It was pretty odd but I just told him "No thanks"... What made him think myself or anyone would buy a cheeseburger anywhere but the McDonalds a block down the street is beyond me.
