Even the shelving units were sucky today...*sob* (LONG)

MY GOD! You dropped your FINGER? (sorry, I couldn't resist.)

Owie. Now, someone might be able to argue that each of those terms may in fact describe specific types of products, however, that someone would ALSO need to be beat with a thesaurus, and frankly, I've never heard lolly used for anything but lollipops, and I doubt you've a whole wall of lollipops.

Lollies is the Australian word for candy. Sorry if that caused some confusion, I forget that it's not used overseas.

SCW: She wasn't asking for lollies she wanted candy. We don't have any candy.
Me: SCW, confectionary, lollies and candy are three different words for the same thing.
SCW: ...Huh? But we don't sell... candy isn't... huh?
Me:

Me: I CAN'T. I am physically incapable. I can't kneel or crouch.
SM: I understand that, but you have to...

Obviously not.

"SM: I understand that, but you have to..."

So if the SM really understands your situation then he shouldn't be asking you to do something that you can't do. You should have told him "Fine, then YOU do it"....lol.

So many customers, co-workers and inanimate objects were sucky tonight that it just seemed easiest to throw them all in here.

Sucky: Customer

I dropped a large bag of laundry detergent. Whoops. No damage, though, so all is well. Or so I think.

SC is standing about THREE METRES AWAY.

SC: Omigod! What's wrong with you, that nearly hit me!
Me: (...kinda like the bullet that killed Abraham Lincon nearly hit George W. Bush) I'm sorry?
SC: Omigod, I can't believe that. You almost like, threw it at me!
Me: (I was holding four bags of the bloody stuff, and one slipped) I dropped it, I assure you it was completely accidental. I'm sorry.
SC: I can't believe this. Like, omigod... (SC then went to complain to her equally intellectual friends. Welcome to Perth, children. These are the elite.)

Sucky: Coworker

My coworkers are very good natured. However, this particular coworker is a few (dozen) watts short of a light bulb.

SCW: Hey, Nox, this customer wanted to know where the candy was!
Me: (...what's funny about that? Did I miss the joke?) Did you tell them?
SCW: Nox, we don't sell candy!
Me: What are you talking about, we have a large wall stocked to the roof with confectionary!
SCW: She wasn't asking for lollies she wanted candy. We don't have any candy.
Me: SCW, confectionary, lollies and candy are three different words for the same thing.
SCW: ...Huh? But we don't sell... candy isn't... huh?
Me:

This girl is two years older then me, she's studying biology and law, and she has the vocabulary of a three year old. I should buy her a thesarus. Hopefully, she will beat herself to death with it

...and yes, I do read Gravekeeper's posts.

Sucky: Management
As I mentioned in a previous post, I'm what an un-PC person would refer to as crippled. I can't do a whole bunch of stuff, but the only thing you need to know is that I can't kneel or crouch. Managment knows this.

SM: Nox, you can't keep sitting down to stock the bottom shelves.
Me: It's the only way I can reach them.
SM: You have to kneel or crouch, you can't sit.
Me: I can't kneel OR crouch.
SM: You have to
Me: I can't
SM: You HAVE to.
Me: I CAN'T. I am physically incapable. I can't kneel or crouch.
SM: I understand that, but you have to...

This went on for twenty minutes. TWENTY. I CANNOT crouch. I CANNOT kneel. Doing so for more then maybe three seconds is unbearably painful. I explained this in vivid detail when I first started. WHY IS IT SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND!?

Sucky: Inanimate objects.

I spent half an hour putting a shelf up. It didn't want to. In the course of that half an hour, I took a chunk out of one of my fingers, dropped it multiple times, and spent several minutes hitting my head against it repeatedly whilst slouching on the ground (and I wasn't bloody crouching or kneeling )

So much suck... so very much suck...
