The next day, dad comes back to the ER with his son, and says that his son is not able to tolerate the tylenol suppositories. He said, "My son is having a hard time chewing up and swallowing these suppositories!!!"
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHH!!!

you would think that in the 20-30 years this man has lived he would have realized that some things SHOULD NOT go in your mouth. LOL. also, i would like to know what other "chewables" this man has eaten that were shaped like that.

i know i'm about to get flamed on this comment!
see this is an example of why most dads work and moms stay home and take care of the kids most guys just dont have the brains for this kind of stuff!!
thats why i already planned out that i'm working and mom stays home cuz i wouldnt know the first thing to due, i dont think i could keep my sanity having to deal with these lil things all the time! let me runaway and go work! Theres a reason why man gave up a rib for women! and its safer for the child cuz lets face it most of us guys arent willingly equiped for this type of emergency!
but i bet if you ramdomly asked people on the street/public what suposatory's 70% wouldnt know the answer!

employee- what did you do with them
customer- I dumped them in the toliet I was tired of them and they were way to big almost 1 inch long.
employee- well the oscars get alot larger than that and need a very large tank
customer- no they dont I never see them any bigger than the ones there and I want one so sell it to me.
employee- it wont live in that vase and cant survive the same conditions as the goldfish that you had that get way to big
customer- I want that **** fish so bag the *** thing up so I can go I have better things to do
employee- I am not going to sell it to you becuase you dont have the right setup
customer- we will see about that wheres your **** boss
employee- right over there at the register
a minute or so later the woman started yelling at the top of her lungs
"I will see you in court your discriminating against me and not selling me the customer what the **** I want and I will own the store when this is over!!"
the owner said well go ahead and try but it still wont get you the fish so you need to leave now.
I was so impressed with these guys it was unreal~!!!!!!

If your going there to see saltwater tropical species, you will probably be dissapointed.
I went to sheds and all they had were aggressive fish and a few sea horses. There were practically no corals they had plastic ones. And don't go there on field trip day I still have nightmares "NEEEEMMMMMOOO"

I try to block out bad customers, but this happened yesterday so it is just so fresh in my mind....
Sorry I don't work in a LFS, I work in a bank as a teller.
Here's the background: I have been working here for about 2 years and Shayla (the supervisor) and I know most of the customers and we are pretty knowledgable about our jobs. We have two new tellers. One newer than the other. Both women. None of us are over 25. A regular estrogen den we have over here. Anywho, Shayla and I are letting the two new girls take the customers so they can practice and get some experience.
Now the story: Gentleman walks in and walks to the newest teller. She asks him a question or two because he has not filled out his deposit ticket properly and she is thoroughly confused. He gets testy. She freaks out and asks the other new teller what to do. The whole time Shayla and I are letting them figure out his mistake. It is a simply thing. He gets angrier and angrier to the point where Shayla and take over and Shayla proceeds to show him the correct way to fill out the ticket, so there will be less confusion the next time. He is pissed because this is the third person he has talked to and now he is being told he was wrong and some men can't handle a woman correcting them. So now he looks at all 4 of us young ladies and says "Well its a good d**m thing that there are 4 girls here, it takes all of you to figure this out!"

Not fish related, but I am a pharmacist. We have a drive thru. In the drive thru drawer we have a basket with a rock in to put your prescriptions and/or money in so they don't blow out on a windy day. One blustery day a guy drives up, I greet him and push the drawer open. He is about two feet away because he did not pull close enough, he then throws the prescription at the drawer. Needless to say, it blow away before evening getting close to the drawer. I was then subject to a 5 minute lecture on how dumb I am for having this set-up and he is taking his business else where.

So I go to the bankk today to make a deposit. Its a new bank and I wasnt used to their forms. I give the forms to the teller who looks at it like it was written in Greek. She throws the form back at me which aggravates me and I tell her so. Now I ask her to show me where it is wrong but she cant figure it out. she goes to get another teller who also cant figure it out. Next thing I know there are four of them trying to figure it out. Heck I dont think any of them were older than 25. Anyway they figure out my mistake and correct it. They make a snide comment about my mistake and I tell them it took four of them to figure it out. I then leave and stop at a restroom somewhere only to find out that I've been wearing my thong on backwards all day. Sheesh

In case anyone hasnt figured it out by now, I was only making a parody about Adair and Ices post.

I used to sell shoes at Nordstrom. Not really a rude customer story but it's funny none the less. This guy was trying on a really expensive pair of shoes and in all likelihood, probably wasn't going to buy them. Then his wife walks over and starts yelling at him for buying expensive shoes even though he never takes her out anywhere nice, etc, etc. I mean this woman went off for a good 10 minutes. It was rediculous especially since the guy wasn't even going to get them. He just sat there without saying anything while she laid into him. Then while the wife is still yelling at him, he just looks at me and says quietly, "I'll take 'em." He bought them just out of spite which was awesome considering I worked on commission. I thought that one was funny.
Also, about the aquarium:
I was just down at the Georgia Aquarium on July 5th. They have a decent amount of coral in the main tank, but it's definitely not full. I didn't see any fake corals. I took the 'behind the scenes' tour and saw their frag tanks and what not. That was really cool. They said they're trying to fill it without taking anything (or very much at least) out of the wild. So they're growing a lot of the coral and taking donations. I think she said it would take another year or two to get it really filled up. The top of the reef though (on the tour) is amazing. There's a little shallow water lagoon for the smaller fish when they want to get away from the big fish. There were clams and some other corals up there but they're not visible unless you take that tour. Haha.. I think the tourguide realized she was out of her league when I kept asking specific questions about the corals and she had no idea how to answer them. She was really helpful though and took me around to see the protein skimmers (which were ~8-10 feet tall.. HUGE!)
And yes, they have 4 [live] whale sharks. Also on that 'bts' tour, you go out on a bridge over the whale shark tank (6.33 million gallons) and they sharks swim right underneath of you. I was within maybe 2-3 feet from the whale shark. It was amazing.
There's also a tank of 4-5 beluga whales. They're really cool. I swear this one was coming up to me and staring at me. The aquarium guy said they're pretty playful and curious whales. They'll definitely come check you out if you're by the glass at the "ballroom" side of the tank (upstairs/back of tank).
I highly recommend the BTS tour even though it's 50 bucks compared to the 25 or so for the aquarium admission.

I used to work at a time share in San Diego when I was in college, after 5 years I ended up with a few stories...here is the worst.
It was about 9pm, we had overbooked the hotel (most hotels do) I already had walked 2 other people to hotels across the street. Two women come to check-in. I give them my little song and dance, they are not happy. I explain to them that there are NO more rooms and I wish I could build a room for them but there is not enough time and there is nothing else I can do. The woman proceeds to tell me that she wants me to REMOVE ANOTHER GUEST so she can stay there. I explain that this is not an option and that the hotel accross the street is a very nice place and has lots of history blah blah blah. The woman is now pissed (think 50 and hispanic), she starts to insult me telling me I am stupid and that I can't do my job. She wants to talk to a manager, I am the only one there its a small place. I explain that I will call my manager on the phone and she can talk to her. Manager tells the woman exact same damn thing. The woman is so enraged at this point she tells the woman to wait and she is going to come down to the resort.
In the mean time the woman is telling me how horrible my mother is for raising such an incompetent child and goes on and on about my mother and how horrible of a parent she is. At this point I am competely ignoring the woman which is only making her more mad. So she starts yelling, I then tell her that if she does not calm down I will have to call the police. She then proceeds to try and climb over the counter to I assume attack me. Just then my manager walks in the door shocking the woman, my manager tells her very calmly "You have reservations next door, I highly recommend you go check-in. Nobody talks to my staff that way, now get the F*** out and don't ever come back".
My boss hugged my since I was near hysteria and told me to lock all the doors, I never saw the woman again.
