The joys of closing, and yes you're still in New Jersey

[Crow The Robot]

I worked for a brief time at rest stop on the New Jersey Turnpike in the rest stop there is a map of the state with a red dot indicating your location. Most people understood the message conveyed by the map,(you're in New Jersey) the guy though:
CG: Crazy Guy
ME:

CG:Am I in New Jersey still?
ME: Yes sir.
CG: Liar!! This is not New Jersey!!
ME: Sir we are in...
CG: You just want me to spend money in New Jersey, I am not in New Jersey. There is farm land there is no farmland in jersey, you're lying.
ME,gesturing to the map> Sir if you don't believe me there is a map over..
CG: Maps!!!!! I don't trust maps!!! Mapmakers are part of a conspiracy!!!!
Me: ...
CG: I AM NOT IN NEW JERSEY!!!!!!ELEVENTY!!! You lie to me I have kids!!!!
ME: Sir..
CG: F-ck you you're just a slave of the state, expand your mind. We aren't in New Jersey you know I'm right I graduated from college!!! I know where I am, you dropped out of high school, you do not!!! ARgh!!!<runs out>

Closing at 10

At WM our store closed at 10:00 p.m. we opened at 7:00 a.m. so our store hours were 700-10:00.
CCL: Crazy Closing lady
Me:

The time is 10:15, I am going home, and I am off the clock. I should be safe right? Wrong.
CCL: <yanks at door> How come this door isn't open.

CCL: F-ck You!!!! You're just closin' cuz I am a single mom!!!! I came here the past three nights and you were closed all three times!!!!
Me: ...
CCL: GET A MANAGER YOU F-CKING UNEDUCATED HICK!!!!
M: Hi, don't talk to our associates like that .We are closed , we closed at 10:00, it's nothing personal against you, those are our hours.
CCL: This is discrimination, I'll sue!!! You F-cking F-gs should die!!!!

Obviously the first dumbass hasn't been in the southern part of NJ. I drive past plenty of farms on my way to Cape May

[Catwoman2965]

Um, there's a reason its called the GARDEN state.

CCL: F-ck You!!!! You're just closin' cuz I am a single mom!!!! I came here the past three nights and you were closed all three times!!!!

That's because you got there after closing all three times, twit.

I've never been to New Jersey (or even Old Jersey for that matter) so I have no idea what it's really like, just what I've seen on TV or heard about from others.

However, this reminded me of a call I got back when I did phone support for Packard Hell.

CG - cool guy
me - take a guess

<after troubleshooting the system, it was determined the modem was toast so I confirm his address to send out a replacement>

me: "...ok, so we have your address as 123 Nowhere Dr. in Anywhere, New Jersey, is this still the correct address?"
CG: "Yes it is, unfortunately."
me: "Ok, I have the order in the system and you should get the part in a few days."
CG: "Thanks. Hey, wanna hear a joke?"
me: it's been a lousy day and this guy's been nice, so why not?"Sure."
CG: "You want to know why New Yorkers are always so depressed?"
me: "Why?"
CG: "Because the light at the end of the tunnel is New Jersey."
me: I hadn't heard this joke before and just cracked up.
CG: "Glad you liked it, have a good day!"

Best call I ever got at that job!

[otakuneko]

I've never heard that one either. That, and this...

CCL: I am a single mom you Nazis, I guess you don't care if you ruin my kids' christmas, you heathen monkeys!!!

...got me some funny looks here in the engineering building at my uni.

Aaaaah, thanks. A little reading comprehension goes a long way sometimes

[Parrothead]

Wait, there's parts of NJ that aren't rural/ small townish? Weird....

What a fiddle-brained nitwit. Hope she reincarnates as a crash test dummy

I would think a crash test dummy would have more intelligence than that . . .

[DevilBoy]

It's really easy to tell when you leave NJ.
You can get in the state for free... but you have to pay to get out.

If ya didn't pays the exit toll, then ya ain't outta Joisey yet.

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

I would think a crash test dummy would have more intelligence than that . . .

Well, yeah. But at least all her days would be filled with endless, excruciating, horrible, icky PAIN.

[Bluenomi]

New Jersey is a state? I just thought it was a Bon Jovi album

You Americans, you have way to many states to keep track of
