The most ridiculous thing you've ever heard from a customer

This thread makes me want to go watch Clerks. Shame I missed tomiscool though (puts away unused noob gun)

very little explosions.

A plane blew up. Two cars blew up. A hotel thing blowed up. I think more stuff got blown up too.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Except the first season actually DID have emotional depth and a low budget with very little explosions. It was season two when they forgot they had characters and made it about the action.

Besides, the two shows were attempting to achieve different things. LFN was great, but comparing it to 24 is like comparing apples and oranges.

I think they are trying to bring back some of the emotional depth. Particularly with the character of President Logan. Awesome performance by Gregory itzin, the first "24" performance in some time that I think is deserving of an Emmy nod.

Yes, but the plane was barely seen because of 9/11, and the rest didn't happen until much later. It was pretty spaced out. Hardly the barrage of character replacing explosions Alexia is making it out to be.

Ok, explosions, characters being really, really boring, and fancy multi-perspective shots at the same time.

any more funny workplace stories?

OK....

I work for a local water company.....one day a lady was in complaining about her bill....as she left...she said "I can't wait until my "ALL ELECTRIC" house is built....then I won't have to deal with you people any more."

ZOINKS

The characters are hardly boring

Keep in mind, nuanced character exploration is not what 24 is about. That's not the point, not like LFN.

Hahahaha. "Honey, did you remember to electrocute the begonias?"

I hope she enjoys a nice tall, cool glass of amperes when she gets her house finished.

24 is about seeing how much ridiculously impossible stuff they can pull off while still appearing "realistic" to the general public.

What is the point then? Jack Baur waiting for the terrorist to come out, and then shooting them? While everyone else sits useless at a computer until he needs them?

 

[musclesforsupes]

Someone asked me "Are you gonna eat that?"

LOL I mean they asked ME this LOL

It's absolutely mindless entertainment ala Die Hard, yes.

 

[C. Lee]

Maybe you need to start a "24 Vs La Femme Nikita" thread....because this thread is for something else.

 

[Ronny Shade]

They obviously didnt know you very well. I dont even know you and I would never ask you that. Unless you were unconcious ...or dead. But then it'd be evidence and I wouldnt be allowed to eat it.

Yeah, I know. I hate that, when something else comes up in a thread and you want to continue it but don't want to create and entire thread for a conversation...

But perhaps I will.

 

[HR-PUFF&STUFF]

i work in a mall and i get people that ask this

person: is this (insert store) here?

ME: no.

person: was it here?

ME: yes

person: But its not here now?

ME: yes.

person: How long a go did they leave?

ME: i don't know.

person: But it was here?


when i worked at a Spencers Gifts i had a lady ask where our porn was. she then got mad when i told her that we didn't sell porn. she then asked where she could get porn. so i told her where she could, then my manager came back from her break and got in on this. we convinced the lady that we didn't sell porn and that no one in the mall sold porn eather. after the lady left my manager wouldn't stop giving me crap about how i knew where to get porn.

You could just PM him

 

[C. Lee]

The Puff "N" Stuff I remember wouldn't know where porn was.....I think you are an imposter.

 

[Ronny Shade]

Don't. Start a thread.

 

[Da Docta]

Don't. Start a thread.

Fine, I'd honesly like to see it too.

jackass comes into the store and starts looking at the salt water stuff:

Me: Can I help you?
Jackass: How do you take care of this?
Me: *starts explaining*
Jackass: *just wanders off mid explaination to look at something else*
Me: *goes back to what I was doing...until guy calls me over*
Jackass: What is this, how do you care for it?
Me: *starts explaination*
Jackass: *wanders off...again*

After that I kept my responses to the lines of 'that's easy, want to buy it?'

Same jackass, different store, talking to a different employee:
This particular employee doesn't know much in the way of salt water, but has extensive knowledge on fresh water.

Jackass: I have a question.
Emp: Fresh water or salt water?
Jackass: Salt water
Emp: Well I don't know much about salt water, but if it's basic I can answer it.
Jackass: Then why are you working here? *wanders off*

The guy needs to be hit by a bus...repeatedly.

I love when people overreact and cry racism. It tickles me.

Then this should make you laugh. And let me start out by making it clear: I am not racist at all. I despise them. Alright, as I posted earlier I used to work at an office supply store. Well on one particulary busy day a black woman comes up to me and she needs help finding a toner cartridge that I have never heard of. At the time I was on phone with another customer trying to track down whatever item she needed desperately for some reason. So I direct the black woman to the aisle where we sell the toner cartridges and let her know that another person would be on their way to assist hersince I am with another customer. No problems, she goes to the aisle.

We carry radios with headsets so I let everyone know that the woman needs help in the catridge aisle. So I go back to looking for the item for the other customer, when a white woman comes up to me and asks where the floppy disks are, I point them out and not one second later I hear this:

Black Customer: MOTHER****ER! You going to help out his white girl while you have me wait?? Is it because shes white and I am black?? Oh thats boo****! She then goes off to find the store manager who just happens to be working the same day as I am, which hardly ever happens, and tells him how I am a racist. Needless to say, it took a while to explain, but that other customer looking for the floppy disk was able to back me up, so nothing happened.
