  • Sandpaper

    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.

    I confess this is what I thought of when I saw the thread title.

    I dunno, maybe I need my meds adjusted.

      I've experienced toilet paper that could be used for sandpaper.

            That is actually one of the most vivid memories I have of a trip to Austria 30 years ago!

              Yeah, we have that at my job. I call it "John Wayne toilet paper." It's rough, tough, and doesn't take shit from anyone!
