Old people
Old people make me laugh. I just had a man come in for me to explain how to get to his phonebook. Simple. I showed him, he got it. And he said, "Yeah, I'm dumb, I'm sorry." Ofcourse, I just replied, "Oh it's no problem, have a good day."
Then he pulled on the push door...

Here is one for you.
Had a customer come into the store today. Walked in through the propped open door. It must be 70 degrees today. It's glorious out! Sun is shining, people are in a good mood and are buying product!
So this customer walkes to one of my employees and sits down at her desk. They chat for a few minutes and gets her questions answered. The customer gets up and walks into the window, smacking their head.
/me waits for laughter to end
See we have 3 BIG plate glass windows in the front of the store. They have signs and stuff... and the door is to the right of my desk.. so yeah.. Mind you this customer is an old person.... I was in mid presentation when I heard the customer hit. Faceprint and all.
'So yes this phone...

It's true, the yellow bellied irc geek is not extinct! This is a scientific marvel.

i have not been on irc for quite some time but i knew /me enough to know that gwfox was a dork.

I actually have to post a correction here... As much as I like picking on Alejandro on most occassions,.. my last post was aimed at GWFox. Albeit Alejandro DID respond in kind, and with enough acumen to prove he's spanked it to some 40 yr old guy posing as a girl on irc one too many times.
...
no, like on phonescoop i have never hit on girls on irc, i was just an operator in a couple of music channels.
...
Oh. So... yer gay? Not that that's a problem, I'm a modern guy, yanno, I have plenty of gay friends. IN PRISON.
...
no, i have no sexual appetite for words, and i, unlike you like real girls, instead of trying to hit on them on the internet.
...
Well,... yes and no.. I flirt everywhere. But, I do like real women.. my blow up ones keep springing leaks.

Well, not that it's any of your business, but I have only ever slept with a guy once, and to my defense I thought he was a girl upon entry!

I used to work at a store that was on a busy corner of the mall, and also had huge plate glass on most of the wall. There were 'doors' on two sides of the store, and people used to cut through all the time. Which, of course, pissed us off 👿
One day this kid (maybe 7 years old?) starts to cut through, and his mom tells him not to. The kid, realizing he is headed for a butt-chewing, tries to leave the store without cutting through.
Trouble is, he heads for the corner, which also has a huge plate of glass. Totally smacks his forehead on the glass. It echoed.
The kid, holding his head, walks out to his mom, who is now outside the other 'door'. And does she comfort her wounded, embarrassed kid? Nope-she looked at him and sai...

yes! darwinism in action! That mother deserves an award!! That child learned at age seven what many don't until they reach adulthood (if then)
Stupidity is painful.

I love working with old people. 90% of them are really nice and patient and put up with your stupid jokes. It sucks when they start telling you stories though...

I like old people stories. We had a greeter that was in his 60's-70's. He'd tell these long winded yarns about having worked in the fish industry in seattle, or how he had spent several years in "the service" and all these other things. It was like any conversation we had in store, he could come up with something that kinda related to it, and took up about 20 minutes in hearing it. Now mind you, our store is really dead execpt for the morning, lunch, and after 6 rushes, so he has time for a full story between customers. Old people rule when you're baked out of your mind. Think about Garrison Keillor, he can hypnotize me with his stories. Thems good listening
