    Ironically, he's an optometrist

    My co-worker installed a new in-dash DVD player into a Honda Ridgeline last week, and a couple days later the customer called: he loves the new system, but his vehicle's dome lights don't work any more.

    I hadn't been in the vehicle for the installation, but I thought I remembered that those trucks have an interior light switch on the dash. I asked the customer about this, and he was certain that there's no dome light switch in his truck--he explained that he's owned the vehicle for nine years, and if it was there, he'd have seen it. So I made an appointment for him to bring it in for us to check.

    Of course, we all know how the story ends: when I saw him drive in, I walked out to his truck to meet him. He exited the vehicle, I reached in: click, problem solved.

    I didn't see that coming. (Sorry I had to.)

    Sarcasm dear, sarcasm. I’m well aware that dealing with civilians in any capacity will skin your faith in humanity alive, then pickle anything that remains so as to watch it shrivel up into an immortal husk thus reminding you of how dead inside you now are.

      The GF did that this weekend

      GF: Honey where is the Coffee
      Me: On the top shelf in the fridge. (keeps better)
      GF: I cant find it.
      Me: right on the top shelf in the middle.
      GF: Nope
      Me gets up walks to fridge reaches in grabs bag of coffee she couldn't see it as she wouldn't lean down one more inch to look.

      Hour later:

      GF: Honey where is the pan to make biscuits?
      Me: In the bottom right cabinet.
      GF: nope its not there.
      Me: well I didn't move it so it must be.
      GF: nope not there.
      Me: get up walk over open cabinet door reach down lift pot there is biscuit pan.

      She is 33 and its like dealing with a 5 year old. Put stuff away when done with it, move stuff to look, pick up your shoes, stop taking a sip out of the water bottle then getting a new one, ect ect. I know I have some OCD on things but still, not hard stuff.

          My brother's SUV does this....BUT the screen itself is in the back seat, where the only kiddles can see it. Not all vehicles use this sort of placement.

            Happens at work everyday.

            SC: Where your hammers at?
            Me: <Pointing, index finger and arm fully extended.> Right there in aisle 69.
            SC: <Blank look on face> ???
            Me: <Still pointing; it's the next aisle over.> It's the next aisle; aisle 69.
            SC: Aisle 69?
            Me: <Another good day shot to hell.> Yes. You are in aisle 68. The next aisle is aisle 69. That's where the hammers at.
            SC: The next aisle?
            Me: Yes. Go to the next aisle, and there you will find the hammers.
            SC: <Looks confusedly around the store at the GIANT numbers that label each aisle; still can't figure out what to do. FINALLY begins moving, heading for aisle 67.>
            Me: <Good lord, this braindead moron is beyond help.> Have a nice day, sir.

                  If I ever make my own store the interior will be round. If asked where something at and were SC about it the employee would be allowed to tell them " it's in the corner"
                  Then rush to the back and gets the giggles watching them try to find the corners on the security feed.

                    I have one in my car, factory installed, that plays on the dashboard screen. The picture is blanked out when the car is in motion.

                              Not to be confused with Hammerfell, I'm sure. They have curved swords. Curved. Swords.
