There is a good chance we've all had to deal with people at work who are not so bright, they maybe be colleagues or customers. But they are out their.

I work in IT and had a customer call to say his entire production line was down, I spent about 15 minutes going through a fault finding exercise with him before tell him I would set off straight away. Only for him to turn around and say "Make sure you fetch a torch, we've got some electricians in doing work and they've cut the power to the factory, you won't be able to see anything"

I asked him if that could be the reason why the entire production line is down, he said he'd call me back.

Anyone else come across anyone like this?

I often get shouted at by customers at work for having no free tables (restaurant)

Coz it's totally my fault the came at dinner time.

Pick up a ringing phone.

'Hello, can I speak to mum'.

'Give me a clue, their are 35 women living here' ?

'It's Joan'

'Sorry, we don't have a Joan living here'

'No, I'm Joan'

'Joan who' ?...................

You get the idea

There and to the left a bit

There's a bit of an urban myth story along those lines from years back where a customer called a helpdesk complaining his PC was down and the helpdesk guy went through all the usual fault checks before asking the customer to check all cables were connected to which the customer replied he couldn't see as they had a power cut - the operator asked the customer if he still had the original box the PC came in and when advised that the customer did, told him to package it up and return it.

Customer asked if the helpdesk guy knew what the problem was and was told "Yes, you're too stupid to own a PC"

Yes I've heard that before. I imagine it happens pretty often, but this customer is a whole other level. They are renown through their industry for being thick as shit

I've heard this story many times before... not quite as funny as ringing the helpdesk because their PC is on fire though.

When I used to work on reception in welcome break hotel I had a few corkers. Ringing down, 'the kettle doesn't work' go up to the room, umm see this cable here that's connected to the plug, well it's actually got to go in the kettle. Same as the TV if previous people had knocked the switch off at the plug, people would ring down, you'd go up and they'd be furiously tapping on the remote, see see, it's not working. Yes let me just turn it on at the socket.

Don't get me started on the single men staying their for business or contractors, ring down, the bed isn't comfy or the shower doesn't work can you fix it. I'd have to go up and see what the problem was but I'd take my walkie talkie.

I was at a business networking reception and a guy said "I know some people in Beijing, perhaps you know them..." He had no connection with me whatsoever!

Just remembered one

Getting called all the names under the sun in front of lots of other customers for taking nachos to a table when they hadn't ordered mushy peas on them. Stupid bint wouldn't let me get a word in edgeways. Kept asking me if I thought she was really that stupid to order mushy peas on nachos.

I may have told them to get their stuff and fuck off, and no, I didn't think anyone would actually order mushy peas on their nachos, however the green stuff on there is guacamole... as stated in the fucking menu.

That's why I can't work in a public serving sort of role. No the customer isn't always right and I'd never be able to hold my tongue. Even as a teenager working in the blue dolphin cafe for £2 an hour the manager used to send me cos I was chopsy to tell people they can't use our toilets unless they buy something!

Like me when I was in Cardiff in the arcade in the cookie stand, I wanted a chocolate brownie and the guy said we've got none left, I said no I want a chocolate brownie, he said yes there's none left, I pointed at the one brownie behind the glass and he picked it up and whacked it against the counter saying 'it's plastic' me alright chill out I'll have a cookie then! embarrassed as fuck

The people at the other tables were telling me well done and stuff afterwards. I normally keep my cool, and end up getting an apology from people, but that one I just couldn't handle. She was getting in my face and everything, and I refused to be intimidated by her. I might be small but it don't mean I'm gonna run and hide.

that's cracked me up.

We all do stuff, but there are times when you have to trust the person doing their job knows what they're doing
