A step towards insanity, 2 steps back. If you are sane when you enter, don't expect to leave in the same state. I did'nt.

Playdough - The new age human brain


What oh what, could that title mean?...Well quite simple, read it as it is put there and that is what it is meant to mean...I have been reading some very entertaining customer quotes from Mrs Coogan on her blog, and after reading the responses decided it was good enough to start one here too...Now I used to work in the Video game industry, and the things customers come out with is also priceless...So here are a few of my fave Customer queries I have had to deal with personally...

10) "Excuse me, do you stock Computer games?"......In a video game store...I ask you!

09) "Scuse me mate, you got that new Resident Evil Vice City?" - I think you mean Grand Theft Auto Vice City....

08) "Got that new Dustin Hoffmans pro BMX?" - Referring to, Matt Hoffman, at least some of the title made sense.

07) "I am looking for the new Chesney Hawks pro skater"....Of course meaning, Tony Hawks pro skater

06) "Do you service Washing machines here?"....Yeah, and Freezers and Microwaves...COMPUTER GAME STORE!!!

05) "Can you fix my Playstation?"..."We have to send it off to York to be fixed"...."What? New York?".......Oh good God!, I swear, I will swing for someone!

04) "I am looking for Bet Rayal"...After much MUCH pressing with this customer, it turned out she wanted WWF Betrayal....Bet Rayal!...Excellent.

03) "If I buy this game and copy it, can I bring it back and get a refund?"...Uhhhh....."NO!"

02) "Scuse me mush, ow much are dem gamestations?"....Chav alert!

01) And my fave - "Hello there dear, I am looking to get Steven Hawking Ice Skating".....Now I know it's harsh to laugh at an elderly person, but how can you be so wrong about a game title? Tony Hawks ( AGAIN ) Pro Skate boarding....

Now you can see why I have todays blog title as it is....Playdough?....Putty, S*hite?, Something other than brain cells!!!!

lol, so Mrs C, you are not alone in the ways of the dumbass customer.... anyway, thats made me cheerful so onto todays strange but true story.

And now this...

A man spoke frantically into the phone: "My wife is pregnant and her contractions are only two minutes apart!" "Is this her first child?" the doctor asked. "No, you idiot!" the man shouted. "This is her husband!" - Strange but true!!!

And to wrap us up it's time for...

    I sat behind a pair of chavs on the bus the other day.
    Chav A: 'have you heard the word chav?'
    Chav B: 'nah, what's that?'
    A: 'oh, you know, people who wear really cool clothes and jewellery, and are really laid back, like. Basically wicked people!'

    is that what they're being told?!

    Welcome to retail stupid world. My favourite dumb questions include people who walk up the stairs in my shop only to go to the counter and ask "how do I get downstairs?"
