Stupid Things Overheard

Coworker #1: He doesn’t know? I know! How can he not know?

Coworker #2: You know?

Coworker #1: Well, I don’t know… but I know.

Coworker #2: He doesn’t know? You know but he doesn’t know? Deep down inside he does know? it’s such a puzzle!

Stupid Customers

Guest: “How much for one of your hotel rooms?”

Me: *gives price*

Guest: “How about if I only pay [another price]?”

Me: “Sorry sir, I can’t do that. We’re almost sold out and I can’t reduce room rates when we’re almost sold out.”

Guest: “Do you really think you’re going to sell this room anytime tonight?”

Me: “Yes, I will. I’m the only hotel in the area with rooms left and other hotels are sending their overflow guests to me. I’ll sell this room in the next half hour.”

Guest: “Oh come on!”

Me: “Plus there’s a concert tonight and I’m getting a lot of concert go’ers coming in to get a room.”

Guest: “But the concert is over! I just came from the concert myself!”

Me: “And here you are!”

Older gentleman with thick Slavic accent, leaning over counter towards male cashier: Oh, those are niiice pants.

Cashier, cheeks reddening: Um, excuse me?

Older gentleman: I don’t speak English so good. I am European. Your trousers, they are good. How much?

Stupid CoWorkers

Employee: She owed $1,000 for her electric bill and somehow paid it. I asked her how she pulled it off, and all she would say is “we have our ways.” I assume it was something illegal.

Supervisor: Well… How illegal are we talking here? If it’s a felony, never mind; but if it’s just misdemeanor stuff, maybe we can get other people on the wagon.
