"I had my first rude customer yesterday."

I was meant to leave work at four o'clock yesterday. It had just turned four and I had one last job to do. Suddenly, a little boy caught my attention and made me follow him to his dad in the paint section (I work in a DIY store).

His dad asked me a question (I don't remember what it was). I told him I didn't know and that he should ask someone else. He told me to get someone else to come over. I said that I was busy and was meant to have already left. He said to get someone again. I told him he'd have to do it himself.

He came face-to-face with me and said "JUST GET SOMEONE ELSE!"
Almost taken back, I just defiantly stared back at him and coolly answered, "No..."

And I waltzed off juggling a roll of masking tape to finish my last chore.

this takes me back. reminds me of when I kicked my last disgruntled customer to death. ah, memories.

It is much funnier being the rude person though.

"Why aren't you calling anybody?"

"Ssssh! I'm trying to sell to the people IN MY MIND!"

That does sound like a good idea.

I'd do telesales for a bit but it's not a job worth doing well so I'd see how spectacularly I could get fired within a very short amount of time.

Shut up!

Telesales people are a good target to channel some anger towards.

In my training today (for telesales) we had to listen to pass calls. One man just started F-ing and Blinding to this sales person, screaming down the phone and having a proper hissy fit. I hope I don't get customers like that! Half way through the sales person just goes 'so i guess you're not interested?'..before this guy launched into another hissy fit

Rude people are funny.
