    Me: "How are you today?"
    Them: "Hi!"
    Me: *smack!*
    "I call murder on that!"

      Yes, I get those often.

      Me: "How can I help you?"
      Them: "Good."

          That makes me think of:

          Me: would you like hundreds or twenties?

          SC: yes.

          Me: which one?

          LOL

            I've done that. It's the "super focus" coming into play, I go in and I've actually gone to the bother of figuring out what to say... and I forget that the staff don't have my script, and might start with something else. And by the time I realise that what I had planned to say was inappropriate, I've already said it, because I was too busy paying attention to saying the right thing.

              At least they were honest
              Now the trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed.

                Heheh, I get this a bunch too. (Except the answer is always what they're looking for. You know.)

                Once, I got this:

                Me: "Hi! How are you? ^_^ "
                Him: "Monday."

                Wow. Didn't know how to react to that. Actually made me just a little bit dizzy.


                EDIT: Oh, I should also mention that it wasn't Monday when that happened. :-\
                SC: "Are you new or something?"
                Me: "Yes. Your planet is very backwards I hope you realize."

                    Other Person: "Hello, very good, thanks!"

                      Kind of reminds me of conversations with cw

                      me: Hi, how are you?
                      cw: hi, how are you?
                      me*thinking* don't you pay attention to what I say?
                      Time! Time! Time is what turns kittens into cats.

                      Don't teach me a lesson; all I learn is that you are an asshole.

                        me: "hi! what can we get started for you?"
                        them: "yes."
                        me: ...

                        this happens on a regular basis. i've decided 60% of my customers don't listen to a word i say.

                          Oh yes.

                          Me: Good morning!
                          Them: Ham and cheese.



                          Me: How are you?
                          Next customer: Mushroom and spinach.



                          Me: How are you doing?
                          Another customer: Um, hi.



                          We used to have a server who got particularly ticked off when he'd say "How are you today?" to get "Coke" as an answer. So he started saying, "Really? I'm Coke, too!" Totally made people mad, but we both agree it was worth it.

                            Gaaaah! Totally forgot about this when I posted above. The comedian Brian Regan had a hilarious routine with this type of goof up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S52-5DPRnck

                              Ooh! I have one to add!

                              Me: Hi, how can I help you?
                              SC: MarlbororedsInabox

                              Yes, said all in one breath, just like that. UGH! Of course I've had it go the other way too.

                              Customer: Hi, how are you doing?
                              Me: How can I help you--Oh, I'm sorry. Hi!

                              Yes, we all have brain farts. Just sometimes...It's hard to resist slapping people.
