That reminds me of the time I was shopping with my mother years ago. We needed to get batteries. We went down the isle that had them. Stopped and looked at the batteries, put them back down and got in line. On the way home, we both realized that we had the batteries in our hands and we talked about them all the while in the store. But we had put them down. And to top it off, they were the size that we needed

I used to have customers stand directly in front of a giant rack of batteries (the thing was 4 feet high, and about the same length) and guess what they'd ask? yep, "where are the batteries" I usually just told them to turn around.“Bad taste creates many more millionaires than good taste.”

Just today a guy asked me where the bathroom was.
While standing in front of the well marked Men's Room door. I told him "It's right in front of you." He looked like he did a mental and went in.Ridiculous 2009 Predictions: Evil Queen will beat Martha Stewart to death with a muffin pan. All hail Evil Queen!

Quoth jedimaster91 View PostI misplaced my car keys once and they were in my hand the whole time I was frantically looking for them.
Except for the time I was finishing my shift and went to put my rings and watch back on. Couldn't find them. Starting freaking out.

Quoth KaySquirrel View PostI usually tell the clerk that I'm sure I walked right past it, and could they please tell me where whatever I'm looking for is. At least it clears up any confusion that they might have about whether I'm the sort of idiot that could be standing right in front of something and still not see it.Last edited by greek_jester; 09-03-2008, 07:48 PM."It is traditional when asking for help or advice to listen to the answers you receive" - RealUnimportant

Quoth edible_hat View PostCustomer staring at the ATM: "Where's your ATM? Oh wait I'm an idiot."
Me: Bows
A: Associate
Me: Excuse me, do you know where I can find an ATM?
A: What?
Me: An ATM? Where can I find one?
A: (Looks confused, shakes head). What are you looking for?
Me: An ATM...a cash machine?
A: (blank stare, shakes head again). What is that?
Me: (blinks) An ATM? You know, a cash machine, a debit card machine. I can withdraw money from my checking account using my debit card?
A: (stares)
Me: (stares back)
A: Um, maybe you can go to the bank? It's 3 stores down that way...
Now this was my first time visiting Little Rock. Perplexed as I was, I thought maybe it was a regional difference and people didn't call it an ATM there. I go to the bank, hesitantly ask if they had an ATM and was convinced I'd hit another round of confusion.
Bank Associate: Oh sure, the ATM is just down that way (points)
Me: Um...do you call it an ATM machine here or do you call it something else?
Bank Associate: (Looks a little confused and laughs) No, we call it an ATM machine.
