Just over a year ago, I posted a story about an idiot who thought we (the Bent Staple) were a hardware store. The other day I had another customer who thought we were a hardware store!
Stupid Woman: Excuse me? Where's the sandpaper?
Me (did I hear that right?): I'm sorry, sandpaper?
SW: Yeah, you know paper with sand--
Me (cutting her off because I'm not going to be talked to by an idiot as if I'M the idiot): Yes, I know what it is. We don't sell that.
SW: Well....what kind of paper DO you have?!
Me: Printer paper, writing paper, construction paper, paper like that.
SW: Then where do I get sandpaper??
Me: At a hardware store.
SW: Oh, like Lowe's?
Me (
): Yes, you can get sandpaper there.
SW: Thanks! *leaves*
It's EXACTLY like Irv said once: every time I think the idiots have hit rock-bottom they break out the pickaxes and dynamite. Sandpaper at an office supply store.....unbelievable....I guess paper is paper to some people. Maybe she'll mistake the sandpaper for toilet paper.
