This week's SCs! ( Joy~)

[Pagan]

CW: "but, it's not a DVD, it's a CD."
SC: "It's not the movie?!"
CW "No...that movie JUST came out in theaters... this is just the music FROM the movie."
SC: "So, it isn't the movie?"
CW: "No, it's a CD..."
Even though its packaged as a CD...and clearly not in a DVD box...and lists numerous SONGS on the reverse, we still get this question almost every day...

Yeah, I had someone asking for the DVD of the "Da Vinci Code" before it opened in the theatres and more than a little annoyed that they couldn't get it!

We had a guy try to load a 54'' tv onto the top of his van and it ending up falling off before he even started the car. Of course he went back into our store demanding a tv to replace it.

I think I need some

SC (where the S stands for STUPID) of the week- happened to a co-worker:

SC: "I don't have this technology...(something along those lines about there being no picture/not having a DVD player)"
CW: "but, it's not a DVD, it's a CD."
SC: "It's not the movie?!"
CW "No...that movie JUST came out in theaters... this is just the music FROM the movie."
SC: "So, it isn't the movie?"
CW: "No, it's a CD..."

Lottery Tickets

SC: "Are the 4 packs of tickets randomly selected or consecutive?"

Actually what we do is we take all the tickets, brush them all with different brands of nail polish, then when we call your name out on the list one of our staff releases a monkey into the room. Whichever 4 tickets the monkey licks first are the tickets you receive. So the ultimate path of your destiny is in fact determined by monkey spit.


HAHAHAHAHAAH. WTF.

Have any of you actually injured yourself trying to close blinds though? Because she truely set herself apart not only by hurting herself, but by hurting herself *again* doing the same thing. ><

I actually did that once. When I pulled on the chain to raise the blinds...the *entire* fixture fell out of the window Turns out that one of my idiot relatives didn't install them correctly

[sportsmom]

Just got this one....

Todd?

Caller complained that his proofer was down so he had like 20 racks of stuff that were "As cold as Todd's ass"…..who's Todd? Why is his arse cold? Is Todd sitting outside in the snow? Maybe you should let Todd inside. Poor Todd.

Perhaps he meant a toad's arse. I don't know who the bloody hell Todd is either, but toad is my next best guess.

[Mr. Rude]

I'd call that darwinism at work

...If only it would work a wee bit faster

[Knightmare]

Can we buy something for the office that I can choke?

How about this?

An old classic. Eyes pop out and everything, just like when you really choke someone.

A Momentary Lapse

I messed my trains of thought up and inadvertantly asked a caller "and how many credit cards will you be using?" rather then "How many tickets did you want?". However, the caller, thinking this a standard question, immediately answered "Just one, please".

Touche.

Maybe he thought it was a standard question. I bet Ticketmaster gets enough people ordering 4 tickets and wanting to use 4 different credit cards to pay for them

What? But…wha….what does any of that even mean? Brick wall? Carpetted pole? Buttrubbing? ><

Maybe it was the resident cat's scratching post? Granted, I'm sure the cat stopped using it after Buddy started rubbing his ass against it (just because the cat does it...)

Accents

If your accent makes the word "like" sound like "lick" you probably shouldn't use similes such as "B like Boy". Because I heard something entirely different and momentarily knew the fear an altar boy feels.

I have had similar situations where spelling needed to be clarified....

B....like Bancouber. Wha...?? Oh....V like [b]V[/]ancouver. Gotcha.....

[repsac]

Um actually in defense (sorta) of the blinds lady I am incapable of operating, coordinating or functioning with venetian blinds. Its like they're my kryptonite or something. I even managed to take an entire unit out of the wall one time at a friends house when I tugged on the little rope to open them like he asked me to. Ever since then I will make excuses not to even touch the things.

Here at the house, we had those in the window types that you can't touch or get to. I actually broke ours trying to open them once. Don't ask me how, but I broke them.

[kibbles]

Out of the list, I never seen any SC's actually. Mostly stupid comments or lapses in judgement on the customers part, LOL! But IMO there were no true Sucky Customers.

In defense of the roof guy, having gone through Hurricane Wilma, and having seen others go through Hurricane Wilma and Hurricane Katrina, trust me when I tell you I can TOTALLY understand how someone could be eager, even that eager, for roofing. Especially when, say, you don't have a roof!

The blinds lady, however, is completely indefensible. Installing blinds can be difficult, I grant you. (I did it for my mother when I was but a junior high lad.) But operating them? As the man said, you can't fix stupid.

[RogueOne]

...some of the callers I got this week were really special. The blinds one baffles me even now.


Blinded by Science

Tenant calls the property emergency line to request assistance with her window. The issue? She doesn't know how to close her blinds. You heard that right. She's calling at 1am because she can't figure out to close her blinds.

Ooooookay. How the hell do you not know how to close binds??? Never mind, I don't want to know.


Now I have to chase my brain cells around the house and try to convince them to return.
