A change from IT support.....
Working in a pub / restaurant ensures you meet some special people. After serving a lady her chicken Kiev she calls me back to tell me she was unhappy as it wasn't "breast shaped". This woman had caused trouble before so I was under instruction from the management not to give her anything, so gladly refused her and pointed in direction of the landlord.

Without looking up, the Landlord held out the refund for the food and not knowing what to do or say, the woman threw her drink at him but missed from a range of 5 feet. She was laughed out of the bar by other customers.

Then there was the punter who asks for an avocado and lemonade. I offered my suggestion of Advocaat and lemonade, but he was insistent the word was avocado. I was so close to actually wedging one in a pint glass.

Different employment- on my placement at a company that makes equipment for the deaf (vibrating alarm clocks etc.) I had a call from a bloke saying the screen on their clock was broken- I couldn't solve it over the phone so asked him to send it in. When it arrived the problem was soon discovered: clicky here (protective cover stapled to compliments slip and returned)

I was desperate to write the return note myself, unfortunately, someone more diplomatic got there first
