Grrr

You know what drives me crazy? Parents who come into the store, give the toy drums to their children, and then leave to use the bathroom. I am an employee, I am NOT their babysitter, nor do I want to listen to 10 minutes straight of 5yr olds drumming and shrieking. Hello? Parenting anyone!>?

People are stupid

You know what else drives me nuts? People who call the gift shop at the museum to ask questions about the university campus.

Um, gift shop, anyone?

Annoying Customer #4023985.

Perhaps I should simply edit the previous entries...

nah.

Customer: (Places children's book on counter) Is this the best book you have about the Egyptian afterlife?
Me: Well, if you're looking for much information on the afterlife, you're probably going to want this scholarly book about the Egyptian book of the dead...
Customer: But this one has pictures. And mummies.
Me: Yes. But. Right, it has mummies.
Customer: I'll take it. (Dumps contents of purse onto book) How much is that?
Me: (Dig through the crap she dropped on the counter. Dig some more. Finally get to book and scan into computer.) 9.75
Customer: Right. I have change. (opens purse, dumps contents of change purse onto counter.) I have change. (Starts to count out single dollar bills. Then a quarter. then pennies.)
Me: I'll... get a bag while you do that.
Customer: (Drops all of change again into pile.) Oh! Can you put some other stuff in that bag?
Me: Sure... I guess...
Customer: (Hands over a stack of brochures from the museum. A glasses case. A gross smelling wallet. The glasses that were supposed to be in the case but are not.) All this stuff! Really should clean out my purse more!
Me: Yeah... uh... that's still $9.75.
Customer: Oh! Sorry, lost count! (Counts ones. then a quarter. then pennies.)
Me: *dies*
