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.)

Libraries - part 4
We have a man who comes in the library, who we will call "Mr Bishop". Because that's his name. He's not realy aggressive or batshit insane, but he is incredibly annoying. He comes in every morning and tried to fit every newspaper's crossword onto the glass of our A4 copier. So I often spend my mornings watching this 60 something year old man hump the copier in a vain effort to save 40p or so. He also talks very loudly, and for some reason comes to me with all his technical enquries. Several customers have tried to fight him for is loudness, photocopier humping and general bastardry, and annoyingly I have to prevent it from happening.
Anyway, just last week justice was served. He wants to know the maximum recording length of a CD. So I'm looking online for him and thanks to a ridiculous modern day layout he is able to stand behind me and watch what I'm doing. Eventually he gets bored and decides to go and hump the photocopier again. As he walks off he obviously didn't take note of his surroundings, noteable the corner of my desk which was...ooohh let's say...about crotch height. Cue the corner of the desk cracking him square in the Stalins, and him going down quicker than Jade Goody on a persuadable radiologist.
I still have purple streaks on my face from holding the laughter in.
