Working at the front desk.

Random Patron: What are you dressed as, a librarian?
Me: Confused, mostly because I've forgotten it's Halloween. I- Well, You- I- What are YOU dressed as, a COMMUNIST?
Random Patron:.... ?
Me: Due November 27th.
Random Patron: Walks away.
Me: Does the two fingers pointing to my eyes then one at him move.

I need. Um. Help.

I heard the same damn three or so things from every single "witty" customer in the world when I worked retail (my only "with the public" jobs). Sometimes I just wanted to throw something. XD

Iiiii don't like it when the urge to become cute takes hold of customers. I wore a shirt to work once with Read To Me on it in big letters. Smirking, one guy asked if I, like, wanted him to read me the Wizard of Oz. I rather think he didn't expect my sudden lecture on the lack of literary merits transparent allegories for the Grange Movement hold.
