    Tilt-!

    This one left two people dumbfounded.

    SC: From zero to nuts in nothing flat!

    Me: Short Leprechaun

    OG: Other girl, actual friend.

    So me and OG were having a little chat. SC comes in, tho at this point it's just an older lady, probbly 40-45. As usual, I cut my chat short when SC approaches the counter and ask her how I can help her.

    SC: Yes, *pulls out paper* I'm looking for an XBox Live cable?

    Me: *thinking* Hmmm... could be internet, but just in case, I'll ask... *talking, friendly non-condescending tone* Okay, what kind of cable?

    SC: Well, it's a pretty long cable... *trails off, I am NOT cutting her off at this point*

    Me: *same friendly non-condescending tone* Yes but, what KIND of cable? Is it for the internet, an HDMI cab-

    SC: Um, no, Excuse me, I will not be spoken to this way! *flounces*

    OG: ....what just happened? You weren't rude at all!

    Me: SEE? SEE? Now you KNOW my stories are true!

    Sounds like she was purposely trying to find something to complain about. People will bitch about anything.

      Gotta be. I did everything right, not even a shadow of a doubt. Not even 99.9% sure, I'm 100% double-dog-dare sure that I did everything right. Of course, I told my boss the same day, as I usually do when I'm in "trouble".

      Now the friend that was there goes on my other online accounts with "I will not be blogged to this way" and "I will not be status updated to this way", it's hilarious.

        I'm guessing she didn't know what she wanted and was too embarrassed to admit it, so she seized on the first excuse she could think of to get the heck out. Probably went back to her kid or whoever wanted the cable and said they'd have to go buy it themselves because the clerk was sooo rude, she just couldn't deal with it.
        When you start at zero, everything's progress.

          I had the same kind of moment one time my ex visited me at work. I'd always gone home and recounted my tales of SC terror from my day's work, and he - working in an environment which little to no custoer interaction - usually refused to believe it.

          Well, the one time he did come and and visit, and got to overhear a few conversation...he quickly became a believer
