Gas Station | Olympia, WA, USA
Woman: “I’ve been standing out there trying to pump gas for the last 10 minutes! Your @&$%*# gas pump is broken!”
Me: “I’m sorry. I’ll go out with you and see what I can do.”
(I see a bright red “Out of Order” bag on the nozzle; she had shoved everything into her tank, bag and all.)
Me: “Yes, that pump is broken. You’ll need to pull up to another pump.”
Woman: “Oh, well you guys should really mark it better. I wasted a lot of time here!”
Me: “Um…yes, we usually put a traffic cone in front.”
Woman: “Oh yeah…I saw it, but I didn’t know what it was for, so I just drove over it.”
(The cone was wedged under her car.)

Retail | Colorado, USA
Woman: Excuse me, I’ve lost my child somewhere in the store.
Me: “Okay, I’ll get someone right away.”
(I call in a code yellow.)
Me: “Okay, how old is your child?”
Woman: “She’d just turned three. Ooohhh, what if she’s been kidnapped?”
Me: “Don’t worry, I’m sure that’s not the case.”
(Security comes up to talk to her and she turns around.)
Security: “Ma’am, how many children do you have?”
Woman: “Just one, why?”
Security: “Because your child is on your back.”
(She was wearing one of those harnesses.)
