Not Always Right

• Isn't it so inconsiderate of people to just open up the food and eat it in the store?
• "By the way, here are your two fish sandwiches."
• In general, there's a large number of customers who outright refuse to listen to or acknowledge what the employee is telling them, usually to continue to demand a particular product or service that the employee is directly informing them isn't available... and then berate the employee for not listening to them when their demands are unmet. Such as this chap.
• This person wanted an extremely rare steak, and then, when the meat was uncooked, proceeded to say, "I am not eating anywhere that sells food raw! Come on honey, let's go to that sushi place next door!"
• This guy walks into an adult store in L.A. He is shocked to see that the cashier is a woman and immediately shouts that she should Stay in the Kitchen, and then calls her a heathen for having a wife, and then immediately forgets the entire incident and asks her if they stock bibles. In an adult store. Like the title of that quote says, "Only In L.A."
• "I'm an adult! Don't you judge me!"
• ObamaCare is evil Socialism! Do you mind if I pay with food stamps?
• Your employee didn't help my pregnant wife carry her groceries and pack them in the car! Me? I was sitting in the car waiting for her; what's that got to do with anything?
• Using a machine is ruining the natural process of man and the cutting of bread! No, use the machine -- I'm in a big rush.
• When a customer overhears an employee tell someone else that a theater is being cleaned, she mishears "Cleansed," and begins to shout how she doesn't want to be in a theater that practices all that "New age spiritual witchcraft stuff." And then goes to see Season of the Witch.
• After this guy has been delaying taking his wife, who is in labor, to the hospital to argue about a discount on a duffel bag: "Fine! See if I ever shop here again! You people are killing my wife over a duffel bag!"
• Cars shouldn't park in a parking lot if they have nothing to do with the store. It's taking up the spaces this guy's dinner guests use.
• "I'm working on Sunday because there are customers that want to buy groceries on Sundays."
• Mommy forgot to say please.
• This is a particularly obvious example..
• "Takes One To Jim Crow One".
• If it were taken any further, this mother would border on abusive.
• Don't you know how rude it is to interrupt somebody else's conversation?!
• She still talks and talks...
• Why would your parents name you after an animal? You should have a good sturdy name like Birdie.
• This customer complains about how energy drinks are unhealthy and should be banned... then buys some cigarettes.
• "People who lose expensive things don't deserve them!"... says the woman who retrieved her iPhone 4 from the lost & found.
• "Stop putting cancer in your coffee!"... says the smoker.
• This woman insists on no bags in the name of the environment. She drives an SUV.
• This employee wears a badge that says 'Talk dirty to me' at work. Yet when a customer actually talks mildly dirty to her, she feels uncomfortable.
• This person asks a worker which aisle the chips are located. Despite the worker repeatedly pointing to the chips display right in the aisle they're in, the customer keeps asking for the aisle number, and the worker eventually relents and gives the aisle number. What makes the customer a hypocrite is that she returns and chews the worker out for not saying that the chips were right there. She should try listening next time.
• This man complains about a non-caffeinated drink, claiming that the pizza place must have put caffeine in it. What does he want as a replacement? A caffeinated drink.
• This gabber holds up a checkout line by talking on her cell phone, and not listening to the cashier when prompted for extra information. When the cashier finally gives up and moves on to the next customer, the gabber has the gall to call the cashier rude! Yes, that's rude, and holding up the checkout line for five minutes and ignoring the cashier isn't. Flawless logic, that.
• This person completely flips out when the caller slightly mispronounces a location name and messes up the person's nationality, but insists that South Africa is also Zimbabwe. They'll correct others' mistakes but refuse to admit when they've got it wrong.
• This person refuses to buy a hair treatment product that was used and requests an unopened bottle... even though she was the one to use it.
• This woman touches some cotton candy despite a sign saying not to. The worker says that she has to buy it... but she doesn't want to, because she touched it. What.
• "Homosexuality is a sin!"... says the man in line to purchase lesbian porn.
• Customer says he has medical issues preventing him from lifting stuff — completely legit and justified. Worker says she has medical issues preventing her from lifting stuff — she's lying and lazy. The best part is that another customer calls out the first one on his bluff.
• This mother won't let her kid get Call of Duty: Black Ops, but lets him get Grand Theft Auto IV without hesitation.
• "Can you believe the childish things people will do just to get ahead in line?"… says the woman who engaged in childish antics to get ahead in line.
• I'm cutting down on sugar! Now get me a coffee with toffee, hazelnut, and extra cream.
• This woman absolutely refuses to give her phone number to anyone... unless it's for a rewards program.
• This pizza store owner demands a free sandwich because the restaurant he's ordering from doesn't have one specific thing he wants on it. The cashier asks him how he would respond if a customer came into his pizza place and acted the way he's acting. He responds by filing a formal complaint.
• I wasted a lot of my valuable time on this superfluous call! Now I'm going to complain about how much of my time you wasted for ten more minutes!
• This woman criticizes an adult woman for buying Pokémon, but says no one has the right to criticize her for buying her nine-year-old son a Grand Theft Auto game since her purchases are no one else's business.
• These high school boys demand to be treated with respect, while throwing childish tantrums because an older couple dared to speak a language other than English within earshot of them. They then complain about a time when they themselves visited Mexico and the locals continued speaking Spanish, rather than immediately learning English to make said boys' lives easier. When it later turns out they were at the restaurant to apply for jobs, they are immediately kicked out over this display.
• This customer repeatedly fails to grasp the concept of "This is a bookstore, you don't have to return your book" and calls the worker "thick" for repeatedly saying so… then turns around and hypocritically Stealth Insults the worker by saying very slowly, "I’m sorry to have told you that you were thick. I should have realised you were special.”
• A customer gets offended when the cashier attempts to sell her some Harry Potter DVDs because "Any movie that delves into magic is Satan’s movies!”... But the movies she does buy include Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid, which of course both heavily involve magic.
• Two girls cut in line and refuse to move to the back. When another customer asks an employee to make them move to the back, they punch him. When he threatens to call the cops, they sneer at him for "hiding behind the cops" because he's "too scared to fight", and punch him again... "Wait, how DARE you defend yourself when I punch you again! I'm calling the cops!"
• This Navy officer claims that a sailor is defiling the sanctity of his marriage because he's not getting married in a Christian church, and then proceeds to cheat on his own wife with the daughter of a Rear Admiral.
• This mother demands that her daughter join a Boy Scout troop (implied to have occurred before the BSA accepted girls) for being useless around the house in spite of the daughter in question being the only one in the family working, and not interested in joining. When the mother is taken to court for attempted assault and disturbance of the peace (because the submitter and the Scoutmaster refused on the grounds of her being female), the daughter sums up the issue nicely:
  Daughter: “Frankly, she was always overzealous about others’ actions, but never considered her own. Personally, I think she deserves it.”
• This tech support customer constantly belittles the guys working on clearing his laptop of viruses with geek stereotypes, including that they all live in their mothers' basements. Their revenge hinges on the realisation that he does live with his mother.
• This story features an overgrown Girl Posse, who descend on a woman trying to have a bagel in peace, so the Alpha Bitch can make jokes about her weight while her hangers-on laugh and fake gasp. When the woman deadpan points out "I’m literally two sizes smaller than you, and I’m thirty-eight weeks pregnant", the Alpha Bitch runs out in tears screaming that they're supposed to be friends, leaving the posse staring at the woman in shock.
  Woman: *Shrugs* “Don’t dish if you can’t receive. Now clear off!”

Not Always Learning

• Sweets are bad for you! But cigarettes are A-OK apparently.
• I will not tolerate plagiarism! Now let's look at this PowerPoint presentation which has information I just copied from some other websites... (Apparently, the teacher got even worse as the year went on.)
• Your brother is in college? Why didn't you say so earlier, when I wasn't letting you say so earlier?
• No cellphones in class! Now, excuse me while I take this call...
• Retarded and homosexual people deserve to die! But don't make fun of teen mothers, you could offend someone!
• This teacher, after teaching a class what rights they have as students, tries to force them to miss both lunch period and most of the class following that in favor of taking a mock test by arguing that, as students, they have no rights. Between this incident and generally being totally incompetent at what she does, the teacher is fired before the week is out, and the citizenship class she was teaching is scrapped after its first year.
• This student who doesn't understand genocides says that they should get rid of all stupid people.
• This guy tries to brag about having received a Ph.D. at the end of the story, despite it being entirely about him not knowing what "Ph.D." actually stands for.
• This mother who curses out her son for swearing and using the "N" word while using it herself, and failing to understand where he gets it from.
• This lecturer has been getting the submitter and others in trouble with their apprenticeship for being five minutes late getting back from lunch. The very next day after they complain, the lecturer is half an hour late, and tries to tell them he's allowed to be late because he has important things to do — like forgetting about the lesson entirely, as he admitted when he entered the room.
• This algebra teacher tells his students he's willing to help tutor them in math but won't help the submitter who the teacher hates and tells her to figure it out for herself.
• When the fire alarm goes off, this teacher tells her students to sit down and wait while she gets her handbag and coat… and then tells the class to follow her out of the room and to leave their bags and coats behind.

Not Always Healthy

• This militant vegan thinks it's acceptable to preach at people for eating meat and dairy because she incorrectly thinks they're harmful to the human body, even though she's in rehab for a meth addiction.
