Customer Service Horror Stories

FETCHER. · 08-23-2012, 06:52 AM

During my lifeguarding I have encountered a few horrors.

Like someone ****ting in the pool, that was just awkward for everybody.

Also at the end of a backshift we give the gym changing areas/toilets a clean. I went in to the LADIES to see what needed to be done, so I walk into a toilet cubicle for '**** THE POPE' to be written on the wall in ****. What kind of stinking bastard does that?

ok personally i think anybody who writes ANYTHING with shit on a wall is a disturbed human being and should be avoided

Hoi, he does have a point, the Pope is a ****.

Wow, a man from southern Ireland who hates the pope. I am just astonished.

Edit: I'm a stereotyping bastard.

I think my absolute best customer service incident was when I was working at my second lumberyard. It was a Saturday, which meant all the retard home owners who don't know shit about home repairs would come in and sift through an entire pack of 2x4 8' spruce for ones with all four edges, even though it's mostly used in walls and doesn't need to look pretty. Anyways, this guy comes in and has an order for thirty 8 foot 2x4 spruce, so I direct him to where the lumber is, and walk down there to meet him. When I get to the isle the guy is throwing a shit fit because 2x4's are exactly 2 inches by 4 inches, they're actually 1 1/2 by 3 1/2, and he thought we were ripping him off. He then looks over to the 2x4 rough cedar, which is actually 2 inches by 4 inches and says he wants that, and after I ask him what he's building, he says he's putting a wall in between a large room in order to make them two rooms to rent out... and he wants to use cedar. I tell him he has to go back inside to exchange the order out, and he grudgingly does it, and I strategically take my lunch break so someone else has to help him. About an hour later, the contractor he hired comes back with the 30 2x4's and wants to swap them out for spruce.

What a day.

A proddy stinking bastard?

Well, they WOULD be stinking after writing in sh1t, wouldn't they?

Seriously, that's not cool. What's wrong with bringing a big marker IF you want to write grafitti? SPray can? Chalk? Not too many artists work in the medium of sh1t ...
