I'll cut right to the chase on this one.
SC: Hey, can you help me find this DSL modem?
Me: I certainly can. It's right over here.
SC: Oh, good. My old one just died, and I have to take an online class, so I need one right away.
Me: Here they are. Do you need Model 100 or Model 200?
SC: I already have a router, so Model 100 will do fine.
Me: There you are, sir.
SC: Thank you. Say, I've got one for ya'. Do you know why 71 is better than 69?
Me: ... No... Why?
SC: Because then you can hold her down until you're finished! HA - haha!
Ooooooookaaaayyyyyy... I know what 69 is. 71 is apparently something similar and funny, but I didn't get it. In any case, that "joke" of his threw me off. I didn't laugh. I smiled, mostly because I didn't get it. But this was one of those guys that gets encouraged to continue if his listeners merely maintain eye-contact.
I'll spare you readers the details. They were disgusting. This SC went on to make three more comments--he thought they were jokes--involving female genitalia, a bowling reference, and tacos. Yeah, that's exactly what I wanted to hear at work. He had one more question about the modem, though.
SC: So, does this come with the installation CD?
Me: Yes, but you'll need your username and password from your ISP to complete the installation.
SC: Yeah, I've got that.
Me: Great. Now if you'll excuse me, I think that couple has a few questions.
SC: Yeah, sure. Thanks for your help.
Me: You're quite welcome. Have a nice afternoon.
SC: Oh, I will. I'm going to have a... y'know... taco! You remember that now. Tacos!
Ugh!
I should have told him off. I thought about it. I had too many other concerns on my mind at the time. Still, how could that pass for a good idea: Going shopping and deciding to tell the salesperson a joke about women's genitals? I hope next time he tries that someone has enough presence of mind to call him out for harassment.
I've had the usual bad customer jokes before, but never anything that bad.
