... not always right!

Quote:
Me: “Thank you for calling [clinic], how can I help you?”

Customer: “I’d like to know how much it is to descent my cat. He was a stray that was eating our other cats food and we decided to keep him.”

Me: “I’m sorry, ma’am. We can’t de-scent a cat. He may be spraying to mark his territory, and if he is, we can neuter him.”

Customer: “I assure you my cat has scent glands! He backs up to furniture, marks them, and if you startle him, he will turn around and try to mark you! And he’s mean too! If you try to come near him, he growls and tries to bite.”

Me: “Ma’am, cats don’t spray when startled usually. Are you sure it's a cat?”

Customer: “Well, yes.”

Me: “What color is it, ma’am?”

Customer: “Black and white.”

Me: “What do his markings look like?”

Customer: “All black with two white stripes down its back.”

Me: “Ma’am, that is not a cat. That is a skunk.”

Customer: “Well, you have obviously never seen a cat before!” *hangs up*

oh lol.

On a side note, my male desexed cat still marks like crazy. The poor barbecue cover gets abused the most.

Supervisor: “Oh no, it’s a robbery!” *begins to call security*

Man: “…on the DANCE FLOOR!”

I have heard of de-scented skunks kept as pets. Opossums, too. A girl in high school had one - I held him a couple of times. Surprisingly nice little guy, but still not as affectionate as a cat.

Oh, and cats spray, too. Even sterilized ones. One of mine does - she once sprayed me when I wasn't giving her sufficient attention.

I have spent far too many hours on that site. Always a good way to kill an hour, or 8.

I have stories working in retail. Oh my, do I ever have stories.

My favourite was the time we had a whole Russian hockey team, in jerseys, wander in looking for doughnuts. We were a BLOCKBUSTER VIDEO STORE.

Or the crackhead my boss pinned against the wall...

Hehe... bringing up memories.

I worked the night shift at a 24 hour gas station about 15 years ago. Some very, uh, "interesting" people came around at that time.

And seriously, thinking a cat was a skunk!? Is this story really true? I guess I just have a hope that people are smarter than that. One of my "cats" is black & white, I guess I should go to Google Images and check out some pictures. Better safe than sorry.

Sigh.. Retail stories.. I had one customer tell me the guitar hero game display was broken, cause when he pressed the button it wouldn't hit the note.. Guy had it on the hardest level.. I tried, & hit a few notes.. It's like he never seen what I done.. & kept telling me it's broken & to fix it.. I told him, it's not broken, you just aren't fast enough to hit the note..

Another time, I had this chick run up to me screaming.. Aren't you going to help me!! I shrugged & gave her a WTF expression..

Another.. I was in the parking lot, a guy asked if we had anything on clearance.. I was like, well, what item.. He was like, I don't know, anything???
