Once again it’s time for some of the random, yet funny, stuff I heard last week. Was it a full moon?? I could swear it was. People were slightly….bat-crap-crazy. 
Alas, the joys of working retail. Yee-frickin-Haw.
This first is a winner of the “Are You e-ffing Kidding Me?” Award and a perfect example of why my customers completely wear my a$$ out sometimes:
Customer, “Um…Hi. I have a ..um..question. I know you guys have a…um…umm…. open room with products in it….”
(you mean a STORE, Einstein???)
“…..I am wondering if you sell..umm…like..benches? You know…like..outdoor benches? So, like…um..we can have something to sit on for our smoke breaks.”
Different Customer, “Hello. I am wondering if I can return these folders. They are just too…green.”
Yet Another Customer, “Hi, I just wanted to call and apologize for the F-bomb I left on your voicemail because I am too stupid to understand how voicemail works…”
OK..I made that one up. But if I do find out which customer left a F-bomb on my voicemail…heads will roll.
This last comment is not from a customer, but from a dear friend. L. moved here from Moscow about 9 years ago and has some of the most delightfully descriptive sayings. When asked to describe her life she replied, “My life is round cereal. Like, how do you say?…Cheerios! I feel I run around in circles like crazy Russian Moose.”
This one still makes me giggle.
It’s even cuter if you add a heavy Russian accent when you read it.
And yes, I am feeling pretty “Crazy Russian Moose” this week too.
Ah, the joys of customer service! I’m at work right now dealing with some lovely “characters”.
Thanks for the Laughs!!!

You make customer service sound like a day at the park!
my life is like cheerios! Love it! I might borrow that one. As I”m running in circles like a crazy russian moose.
I had three students one year who spent the entire school year speaking in faux Russian accents. We called them, natch, The Russians…
I totally put the heavy Russian accent on it. Made it even more awesomer. Yup. That’s totally a word.
When I worked in customer service I wanted to slap myself every hour that I was on that job. There was not one funny moment for me. Not one.
Hugs and Mocha,

People can be so stupid! I totally imagined a thick Russian accent when I read the Crazy Russian Moose thing. HA!
Ha! A crazy russian moose. LOL!
can I be a crazy russian moose! I’m now speaking with accent in my head.. may have to draw you a crazy russian moose… random acts of art do happen! Have great Saturday m’dear!
I totally read that quote with a heavy russian accent, and yes, it makes me giggle, too!
HAAA! I don’t know how voicemail works either !!!
