Ice cream
When I was very young my mom picked me up from school in the middle of the day telling me that we were going to go get ice cream. She then drove me to the doctor's office and said I needed to go in for a checkup before we get any ice cream. Before I would leave the car I made her promise that she wouldn't let the doctor give me a shot. He didn't give me A shot, he gave me THREE shots. Afterwards I asked her if we were going to get ice cream now. She said all the ice cream shops were closed because I took to long getting my shots.

Goldfish implosion
I worked in pet stores for 7 years, so I have a million of these stories.

A lady and her husband and children would come into the shop every Sunday after church with a large ice cooler and ask for 100 live goldfish to go in the cooler. I just assumed she had a pond with a bunch of turtles that ate goldfish, and never asked any questions. She was very talkative, and one day told me what the goldfish were for. She believed that animals should all be free and it was morally wrong to keep them in cages and fishtanks, so they would buy 100 goldfish every Sunday and set them free in the ocean. IN THE OCEAN. I took her aside where her kids couldn't overhear and calmly explained to her what happens to goldfish if they are put into saltwater. She became very angry, refused to believe me, and insisted on buying them anyway. I refused to sell to her and explained to the other employees who (stifling laughter) also refused to sell to her. Her anger escalated. She talked to the owner, who apologized and sold her the goldfish.

I am not a dominatrix sugar momma (or homeless).
When I was 15 my mom and I went out to get sushi. We were waiting for a table, so she decided to wait inside and I decided to wait outside (it was crowded and I wanted to hang out with mom as little as possible). I was dressed pretty gothy at the time, but was clean and well groomed. An overweight homeless man in his thirties wearing nothing but black leather (lace up pants, buckle boots, zippered jacket, stupid hat) sat next to me and started talking about how he is a bisexual submissive and into pain and all sorts of other horrible things and he is looking for a sugar momma dominatrix with a nice house to take care of him, and am I interested? I politely declined just as a businessman approached, commented on what a cute couple we are, and asked us if he can buy us some McDonalds. I reply, "That's sweet, but I'm waiting for sushi." The business man gave me a horrible look, probably assuming I am some sort of homeless snob. At that point I decided to wait inside.

Kitten fight
Story #2 from pet store hell.

Fact: kittens lower people's IQ by about 50 points.

Two female Kindergarten teachers got into a fistfight over a kitten. One grabbed the front legs and one grabbed the back legs and they started pulling. The manager broke them apart and one of them swung a fist at him.
