Customers from Hell
The customer is always right. And yet, as 'listentomyopinion' writes, this is utter bollocks.
Tell us of the customers who were wrong, wrong, wrong but you still had to smile at (if only to take their money.)

I once ran my own small business…
and had to regularly put up with a drizzly shower of complaining, loose-toothed plebites. They were constantly griping about one thing or another, despite the fact that my trade was rather…erm…’specialised’.
The only products I sold were tailor-made-to order, ladies & gent’s fake afro wigs (for use at 70’s parties, or whatever floated their respective ‘afro-requirement’ boat – it wasn’t for me to judge).

Well, not wanting to disappoint, I spent all night working on them…and they were masterpieces. I even named them after my favourite celebs that sported afros, ‘Sam’ (After Samuel L. Jackson) and ‘Mel’ (after Mel B from the Spice Girls).
First thing the next morning the hideous old trollop was there…beating on my door and shouting for her goods. When I let her in and proudly showed her the fruits of my labour, she tutted derisively, before literally throwing ‘Sam’ at my face and saying that she would only pay for the other one. What a fucking bitch!
I knew there and then that I had to give up the business, and dealing with the general public, for ever.
Yet despite my sadness, as she waddled out of the door, I still felt a twinge of satisfaction, knowing that when she went to the party, everybody would be talking about my…

Custom ‘Hers’ ‘fro, ‘Mel’
