Here's one from my retail days, the reason for this customer's complaint is lost in the mists of time, but I remember the customer.
I had seen him before and the other staff called him "Monkey Man", I thought this was because he was extremely hairy, all over the backs of his hands and down his neck, I mean to the extent of not seeing any skin at all, also he smelt really badly like he hadn't washed for a few years.
But this wasn't the reason at all.........
On this occassion he was arguing with a manager about something and becoming irate.
He lost the ability to speak and started grunting "ooo oooo ooo" just like a gibbon, at the same time he began swinging his arms and looked and sounded for all the world like an angry ape.
How the manager dealt with him without laughing, I don't know.
