    I went into a Wetherspoon's pub after work and this woman asked me where the phones are when I was coming back from the loo.

    She had that whole "Excuse me" attitude. Ugh.

    I get bus related enquiries all the fucking time - only because some of the buses are greeny and my work shirt is cream with thin green checks :rolleyes:

    When I wore suits I'd get asked stuff in M&S all the time

    Now I go to the gym and when I'm wearing my black bottoms and bright red top I get asked questions in the supermarket next door, even though their staff wear blue shirts!!

    It happens so often now I'm getting quite annoyed and may just see if I can be really rude to a customer and get them to call the manager to try and fire me!!! :D

    I'd love to see the look on their face when they realise I'm only doing my own shopping there!!! But I'll ony do that if someone ever is really rude to me!!

    I actually asked someone if I could try something on when they didn't work in a shop the other day, I nearly died! :blush:


    Never happens to me though.

    Someone once assumed I was the manager in one branch of Smiths and came up to have a right moan at me. It took me about three minutes of listening to her ranting before I could get a word in edgeways... 'just listen to what I have to say first, will you!'

    However, I was in Tescos today picking up some stuff that I can't get at work, stopped by the kiosk and some woman was asking someone behind the counter about the Lotto birthday game - and the employee didn't have a clue what she was talking about, so I explained who I was and why I knew what I was talking about, and then I put her straight. The lady behind the counter was less than happy.

    I'm sorry? An employee of a store is giving a customer incorrect information because she doesn't know what the hell she's talking about. The customer is likely to be confused. I do know what i'm talking about. The customer gets the right information, the store doesn't get a complaint because an employee has given a customer incorrect information which was of a financial disadvantage to the customer, the employee doesn't get bollocked for bullshitting a customer. I don't see anyone losing here, and all i've done is give a customer a piece of information which she wouldn't have otherwise understood correctly.

    How is that arrogant?

    How are you not arogant? Everything about EVERY post you make is layered and coated in anal retentive arogance.

    Give me a specific example from this thread of something that strikes you as arrogant, that I have posted, and I will explain to you why you are wrong.

    I wasn't even meaning this specific thread, just the general amount of bullshit you spout on a daily basis.

    All of my comments are intelligent, well considered and perfectly expressed. If you have a problem with anything I say, dial information, thank you for calling.

    I'm sorry, was that your attempt to be witty?

    Whatever you aimed to achieve it wasn't paticularly successful.

    *slaps*


    Just shut up. It'll save about 6 pages on this thread. Seriously.


    What you said sounded arrogant because it was worded in a way that made it sound like you were deliberately showing up the shop attendant and trying to embarrass her. I wouldn't be surprised if you were, mind :rolleyes:
