Messing with complete strangers is such fun

She hears the Brokeback joke 50 times a day? Gosh...that's impressive.My daughter is reading this over my shoulder, and just said all those 'original' jokes you make, she hears 50 times during the day. So, those 'cracked smiles' are forced.
I have a sense of humor. You just aren't funny.
I am a fair judge of what a forced laugh is and what isn't surprisingly.
Sheesh...talk about someone that can curdle the milk of human kindness.0 -

obviously we need to agree to disagree because I am actually quite funny, we just don't share the same sense of humor... I normally DO NOT joke with cashiers because they are all so damn serious...0 -
I'm not quick enough to mess with strangers... But it does make the day go by faster... at least it did for me working in fast food...0

I love to hold doors for complete strangers but make sure they are a distance away just to see them start that awkward run to get to the door. Pretty hillarious and so far everybody has an awkward run when someone is holding the door open for them

Yes. Apparently your comedy writers shop at her store.0 -

I like messing with cashier sometimes, I've been a cashier. Wicked long shifts at Sears and a funny customer is needed.0 -
I love stealing a phone from a stranger and calling everyone in their phonebook - starting with obvious relatives - and informing them that there's been an accident and that we need someone to identify the body.
If I'm feeling extra crispy I'll change things up and explain that the phone owner is dead, that we need to ask them some questions and that an officer is on the way so they should stay where they are.
Man, that one NEVER gets old.0 -

I don't ever do that but my guy does. His usual line is "I get a 15% VIP discount, right?" or something like that. We went to buy shoes for our three kids one day and he said that.....the guy gave him a senior discount!!! When we left and saw the receipt, it was like SCORE!0

LMFAO!! That is hilarious!!!0

Now see next time someone holds the door open for me I am going to take my sweet time!!! LOL!!! :laugh:0 -
I do things like this all the time. Here are a few of my favorites:
When a couple is walking hand in hand I always try to walk right between them so they have to separate. They always get so pissed.
I wave to random people, then when they wave back I tell them I was waving to the person behind them, they always look around and there never is anyone behind them.
When I am with my sisters anything goes, we've renamed waiters, butt into other people's conversations, constantly draw strangers into our convos, etc. One time my sisters were giving me a hard time on a Haunted Hayride so I got up, walked over to some strangers, sat in between them, linked my arms in theirs and told them that they were my new sisters. I sat with them the rest of the hayride and bashed my sisters to them, they didn't say a word to me, they drew the line at letting me get into their car though (I was just down the street they could have dropped me off.)
The hayride is super funny! I would've done something similar!!0 -
My daughter is a college junior at age 16. Not dumb at all. She just quit her job cashiering, due to all the dumb-@ss customers. You do know that cashiers are told to be polite, don't you? They take a boat-load of crap from people who, I swear, like a passive, easy target who is being paid to be nice to you.
Civility is going to pot...
As a former grocery clerk of 8 years, back in the late 80' and early 90's, this was a issue then also, but in reality it was only a few customers. One of the great things about doing a busy customer service job is to teach you to handle many different situation, the fun and the annoying.
To this day I have many great stories that begin with "when I was working at the grocery store...."0 -

BAER.
Any job you do in life, you will run into people like this. You can either remove the stick from up your butt and have a bit of fun or you can somehow take it as the world is becoming a bunch of uncivilized morons.0 -

Yup. She agrees.0 -

Then walk in and let it close Just before they get there, saying ...Uh oh too slow!0 -
The only time I ever did something remotely like this, I was going to the podiatrist for a re-check after having surgery on my left foot. My foot was feeling a whole lot better, so before I went in, I took off my cast and put it on the right foot. The nurse who checked on me said, "Which foot did you have the surgery on?" and I said, "Left." She looked down at my cast and said, "Your right foot?" "No, my left..... oh, I put the cast on the wrong foot!" She was cracking up and I was too.0

Two just came to mind.
In a grocery line, I told a cashier I wasn't going to pay for the 2 12-packs of sodas under my cart because I was practicing shoplifting, but I am not very good at it. She stared at me for about 10 seconds not knowing how to respond.
At work my coworkers bought me Brokeback Mountain as a secret Santa gift (inside joke). They also gave me the receipt. When i returned it to BestBuy, she asked me if there was anything wrong. I said [lisp]I am waiting for the unrated version to come out GIRL[/lisp] and gave her a little wink. I could actually HEAR how uncomfortable she was.
I know I am not the only one who derives pleasure out of this, right?

My daughter's first day of cashiering, some guy came up to her and said, "You're lucky I don't have my gun. I'd shoot you if I did."
Some jokes aren't funny at all.0 -

Good thing clowns are ALWAYS funny!!!!!!!0 -
I was a cashier in high school and all thru college (yes eight years), and I got to the point where I looked forward to some smart joke or remark from a customer because the job of a cashier is SO boring. At least back then I learned to key in the prices off the price tags, today all they do is swipe the items over a reader.
BTW - OP, I liked your brokeback Mtn joke.... It does help to have a sense of humor or you may as well be a dwarf (grumpy)0 -

That's not a joke though. That's a threat.
Jokes = good. Sometimes funny, sometimes not.
Threats = bad. Always bad.0 -
Judging from HIS response...she sounds about as much of a hoot as you do. I guess humor is genetic.My daughter's first day of cashiering, some guy came up to her and said, "You're lucky I don't have my gun. I'd shoot you if I did."

Sometimes I can't help myself. I had to get innoculations for a trip to Central and South American a few years ago, and my doctor's name was Dr. James Brown. In tribute to the incomparable Godfather of Soul, Mr. James Brown, everytime he gave me a shot I'd yell: "Yow, jump back, I wanna kiss myself!" Dr. Brown was not a lighthearted man. He didn't find anything amusing in that...0

Actually see was bagging, and he tapped her on the shoulder and said that. It was chilling, really.0 -

I think this confirms that someone is lacking a sense of humor. Anyone who would consider this a joke clearly doesn't understand humor.0
