Copperhead, whats funny is last weekend i was at my local 9 hole course and some people paid for 18, and stopped to ask me where the back 9 were. then as i was finishing my 9th a couple of guys on the 1st hole asked me which way youre supposed to hit the ball. my response: "toward the flag. drrrrr." hahaha

at autozone we have some pretty stupid people call as well. people will get mad at me over the price of a certain part, like i just made it up or something. or they'll call a part the wrong thing and then get mad when we dont have what they want (they ask for a timing belt on the phone and they really wanted a serpentine belt when they come in), and my favorite, people will call and just ask me how much some random part is without specifying a vehicle. then they'll get mad cause they dont know what year or what engine they have in their vehicle.......sometimes i really hate my job

but here is my best story. i'm helping a guy get some brake lights for his car. he says he's gonna go take it out of his vehicle first, so he gets the right one. ok i say, he goes and tries to take it out. the screws that held it in were the star bit screws, so he wants to borrow some star bits, well we dont even have them for us to use i say, but we do sell them. he rolls his eyes and says ok and i ring one up for him. he goes and gets the bulb out, then we look the bulb up AGAIN because he wants to be sure even though it was written on the bulb and i showed him what bulb it was. fine, i tell him the number and tell him to go pick it out again. he says, come on and show me where it is, i aint no mechanic. WTF?? your not a mechanic so you cant go read a number off a package, but you can go out to your car and remove your brake light bulb? jackass

 

[feellnfroggy]

LOL, thats awesome. I have to spare my stories due to obvious reasons. But you guys should dispatch and take calls from truck drivers, LOL. Talk about a job in the entertainment business. My girl also works for Smokey mountain knifeworks in the call center. You should hear some of that. Again i wont go into stories, cuz I know you jackasses buy knives. LOL (its ok though me too)

danm, hearing that alone makes me wish i stuck with hvac, instead of joining the military lol i love hearing the stupid stuff from people.


I got some dumb people when i used to pump gas.

Like some guy who pulled up in a rusted out beat to hell exploder, asking if he could pump his own gas. I told him no, being that it was new jersey STATE law ,that an attendant must pump your gas. He replied with "thats fine, ill try another station" i wonder if he actually drove all the way to newyork to pay about 20-30 cents more per gallon, just to avoid any gas station attendant possibly getting a drop of gas on his faded paint

I used to work HVAC almost 20 years ago but still remember so stupid people. I usually worked in the sheet metal dept but we were short handed in service so I rode with a service tech on day. Lady called saying her new furnace wouldnt come on that we installed. Tech goes in for a few min then comes out and tells me to go in to see if I can spot the problem. I remind him that I work in the shop and only ride with him when he needs help. He tells me not to worry just see if I can find the problem. I go in and look at thermostat. Fan set to auto and temp in house reads 64. I flip fan to on and it comes on. No problem. I look at temp selected and it reads 72. I look at temp control switch and it is set to COOL. Flip it to heat and the furnace kicks on. First cold day in the fall and she hadnt switch from cool to heat. Tech asked me when she calls this spring because her ac wont come on if I wanted the call.
