From hell or going there
Not so much about difficult customers - more about different customers.

My friend worked in retail in a department store (Myer).

She'd have family members trying to return unused underwear they had recovered from the drawers of the recently deceased. Something about that freaks me out.

And elderly people coming in to buy 'a going to hospital kit' to put in a bag in the expectation that something bad would happen soon.

I still cringe at the memory of her telling the tale of the old dear who informed the staff she needed to shove toilet paper up her bottom to prevent leakage.

So really, if you are having to put up with annoying customers then chances are you are doing ok.
