Working makes me feel so dirty... I'm on the sales floor most of the time.
One guy comes asking me about anti virus software, and microsoft office. I sold him a bundle, but I talked really weirdly at the time.
It was like...
Him: I need a antivirus. I bought a laptop that came with a trial for some, but now it's out.
Me: Well you can go download AVG free! (Then I remember, shit, I need to sell something) But it won't protect you as well as Norton, internet security!
It... It made me cry inside. Even worse when I sold him office 2007 instead of telling him to use open office.
My co workers are mostly cool though. Although, I was doing mental facepalms when one guy was trying to tell how to do backups on a external device.
And this other guy might have lied straight in my dads face about a TV being Full HD instead of HD ready (There was a sticker. I told him it said HD ready, but he said it was the wrong sticker or something.)
Fuck Open Office. NeoOffice can't even do a proper mail merge, and the one power point i did in it ended up being 90 motherfucking megabytes.
There's a guy in some of my classes who is fucking 6'8"
what the hell is that.
he is the Jolly Green Giant.
Although he is not entirely green by volume.
Whenever I meet someone taller than me, it's always slightly terrifying.
You short folks can't understand. You're used to it.
i rarely find someone that is substantially taller than me, if at all
but there is this one guy that i pass every so often. i (at 6'4") actually have to look up to see this guys face. he has to be at least 7.5 feet tall. it's awe inspiring.

I am 6'9". I have seen people around 7 feet or better and it's not as awe inspiring at my height
It was not this much fun this tall when most other people were around 6' and most of the items were built for them. I banged my head on bulkheads, pipes, doors and other things built for normal people while on board a ship
It was interesting to go work soon after this at a casino where I stood out because of my height

I remember seeing a dude that was around 7 foot, I commented that he was really tall then imediatly felt like a giant fucking tool because I find it annoying when people say that to me, so I imediatly apologised to him and he laughed and said as ok.
Today i was talking with a customer about a canon MF4150 (small personal laser copier). He asked some basic questions, about toner prices, price per page all the basic stuff. All the while his kid was running about screaming. He kept telling the kid to sit down and shut up, and that he was acting inappropriately for someone his age.
I was getting sick and tired of the kid yelling and the parent just telling him, the parent asked me one more question and the kid let out this blood curdling scream, the man thanked me, turned around and grabbed his kid by the back of the shirt, bent him over his knee and smacked his ass 4 or 5 times.
I had to walk away because I wanted to shake the guys hand or give him a running h5. I was so happy to finally see a parent who can deal with their kid.
the "Fall in a barrel of tits and come out sucking your thumb" ability?
More like "Fall in a barrell of tits, then start stuttering wildly and talking about dumb shit and making terrible jokes until they find an excuse to ditch me ability".

Oddly enough I don't actually try any monty python jokes.
I do have a shirt, and yes, a few girls at school don't get it, but I don't really flash it around at everyone.
Anyway, I'm slowly getting better.
i have a shirt that says 'It's just a flesh wound' across my boobs with a picture of the black knight behind it. it helps me meet nerdy guy friends at school, then they go all sad face when i say 'oh yea, my boyfriend got me this shirt'
he didn't get me the shirt, it is just an easy way to let guys know i am taken.

actually, I'll stand up for dodo, there's a lot of curricula in the US that for some reason put off and then blow through matrix math right before you need it to do linear algebra - my school was like that, I only ended up doing it early because I was in an AP computer programming class. I'm sure there's something we learn that you don't in trade, such as concealing our guns or something. It's not that it isn't covered, it's just that its covered and moved on so fast that unless you're taking a class where you use it, it just doesn't stick.
Today i was talking with a customer about a canon MF4150 (small personal laser copier). He asked some basic questions, about toner prices, price per page all the basic stuff. All the while his kid was running about screaming. He kept telling the kid to sit down and shut up, and that he was acting inappropriately for someone his age.
I was getting sick and tired of the kid yelling and the parent just telling him, the parent asked me one more question and the kid let out this blood curdling scream, the man thanked me, turned around and grabbed his kid by the back of the shirt, bent him over his knee and smacked his ass 4 or 5 times.
I had to walk away because I wanted to shake the guys hand or give him a running h5. I was so happy to finally see a parent who can deal with their kid.

The only story I have from working in grocery is the one time this absolutely nuts lady tried to make off with a couple hundred dollars in groceries because, apparently, "Jesus had already paid for them in Saskatchewan". After our manager explained that that isn't exactly how purchasing works and besides, Saskatchewan is in a different country entirely so that probably doesn't count she went nuts and started screaming about how we were all gonna go to hell and burn in the brimstone fires of Satan, etc, etc.
Had to have the security haul her off, and then an hour later she drove by in this huge SUV just pointing her finger at the store.

Why the hell are you wearing a Monty Python shirt in the first place?
That's definitely not something you want to be wearing if you want a girl to notice you.
At Subway.
That should at least lend itself to some interesting stories.
