People are strange.

A woman sat down on a bench in the lobby of the restaurant I work at on the weekends. She proceeded to pull off both of her shoes and pick all the dead skin off the bottom of her feet for a good 20 minutes while carrying on a conversation her husband and in-laws. After she finished the peeling, she started running her fingers inbetween all her toes to clean out the jam. I am also amazed by the number of women I see walk directly out of our restroom stalls with no stop at the sink.0

Thankfully this never happened when I worked retail, but I've heard more than one story of people "mistaking" fittikng rooms for bathrooms.Once worked at a moderately high end department store. During back to school time, the Junior's dept always had a mess of jeans just left in the fitting rooms by customers. Well, close to closing time they would pile the jeans up in front of the 3 way mirror and begin sorting and re-folding them. There was a bit of business, so they had to leave the pile to finish up the remaning customers before close. Apparenlty, someone still in the fitting room thought they were in the restroom and proceeded to urinate & deficate on this pile of jeans. Probably 60 or better pairs of jeans that were now, effectively, ruined.

I once watched a woman at the gas station wash her whole car with the little squeegie thingie for cleaning your windows. That was like, 5 years ago and I still shake my head when I think about it.
Not sure it this counts as strange or stupid, but all the time, people will make a left turn from the right lane...Im just driving along and suddenly the person on my right will turn right in front of me across like 3 lanes of traffic to make a left hand turn. Its happened so much I dont even flinch anymore, but I dont get it. Death wish?!
I've actually done the washing the car thing. I was traveling and we had thrown a thing of ketchup out the drivers window and a chocolate shake out the passengers. When I stopped for gas I found the messes of the sides of the van and wanted to quickly get it off before it hardened.
I have also had people driving in front of me pull over to the right curb, stop, and cut me off as I pass as they make a left turn.
As for work, I work at a bank and I had a lady call and ask if we were going to be open on Thanksgiving. She wasn't happy when I said no. I do have elderly people that call me to ask what the date is. I am more than happy to sit with them and help them out.0 -

Why wouldn't you just wait to stop for gas and, I don't know ... use the trash can?0 -
My old boss used to chew on nail filers, she'd have a bunch in her top desk drawer and just go to town during phone conversations, meetings, etc..the sound of the sandpapery texture against her teeth during meetings was really distracting. The more stressed she became the faster she chewed. :noway:0

When I worked in retail(Sam's Club) we'd have a gentleman come in all the time wearing women's clothing. Even though this alone is odd we really couldn't do or say anything. Well one day I get called to the front and was told to ask the gentleman to leave. I figured he was probably doing something he shouldn't of been doing but whatever so I hunt him down and find that he was wearing daisy dukes but his boys had descended far enough that they weren't in the daisy dukes.
Yep this man was walking around with his balls hanging out of his shorts. I asked him to either change clothing in the restroom or he would have to leave. He refused to change so we have a cop that's typically on duty but she was running late so basically we waited the couple minutes for her to show and he was arrested for indecent exposure.

When I worked at Taco Bell we had a family of Mexicans come in and apply for a job. Now I'm not racist or any of that stupid stuff but anyways the what I assume mom was having to hike up her shirt so that the other 4-5 people could write down their names, social, address, etc. Now this isn't even the weird part. So we take their applications which honestly were unreadable and told them that if we had an opening we'd call them. Now they all went into the restroom and then left.
Shortly after I hear a man kinda say loudly "What the Fu**!!" .. and he walks over all white n stuff and says that one of us need to check out the restroom. Well it appeared that a poop bomb had went off, there was crap all over the walls, ceiling, doors, etc I'm talking tons of poop like they had to store it in bags or something. We all debated on what to do and I finally called OSHA and asked them. We had to hire a cleaning crew to come in and clean the bathrooms and couldn't keep the restaurant open until it was cleaned.0 -
Some of these are gross! :noway:
More stories!
Okay so a couple of weeks ago a girl came in with two completely tattered, yellow, smelly bras. She already has an attitude just walking up. I'll just write down the convo.
Her: "I bought these a couple weeks ago. I've only washed them twice and they're falling apart."
Me: "No problem, do you have a receipt?"
Her: "No. Can't you look it up with my card?"
Me: "No ma'am, not without the tags on the bras, which aren't there. The best I can offer you is 12.99 store credit for each since there is no receipt and no tags."
At this point, my manager overhears. Now, regardless of what people seem to think, cashiers are not stupid. I knew those bras were more than a couple years old. She knew it. My manager knew it. So she comes over and checks the date on the bras. Yeah, whoops, the bras are printed with dates! These were from 02/2011. So then my manager takes over the convo.
Manager: "Ma'am, these bras are from 2011. Our return policy is 90 days with receipt, and even that is pretty lax. But we can tell these bras have been worn and washed way more than twice. I'm in a good mood, so I can do 15.99 store credit for each bra."
Her: "Well it's only been two years, they shouldn't be that torn!"
Manager: "You're right, which is why you should hand wash your bras in cold water and lay them flat to dry."
Her: "Well no one told me that! 15.99 is ridiculous, I paid 52.00 for those bras!" (Those particular ones have NEVER been 52 dollars, the highest they've gone is 48.)
Manager: "Well fine, if you like, I can go back down to 12.99."
Her: *silence*
She was really lucky that Jen was in a good mood, 'cause she can be a real *****. The day after a girl the same age came in with old bras and said she heard from a friend that if you bring back old bras you can get 15.99 store credit for them. -.-0 -
Ewww body ordor and perfume :sick:0

one time my daughter and I had to stop to use the restroom at a gas station and were patiently waiting in line. Some woman comes in, smoking, waving her cigarette around in my daughters face and said something like "you see this" pointing to her eye and telling my daughter she had been stung in the eye with a bee. She then proceeds to ask if we're waiting to go to the bathroom.... um, yea, hence the reason we're in line. Next a man comes in there (women's restroom) looking for her, but by this time she had pulled her pants down and started peeing in the trash can.
This after we found a naked 2-year old wandering aimlessly around our apartment complex park. Alone. We called the office to see if they knew who he belonged to who had to call the cops, because they didn't. We waited with them for 2 hours with him and finally a disheveled looking girl comes stumbling in the leasing office to ask if anyone had seen her baby, because she had been sleeping. WTF?!?
It was a weird day....0 -
A few days ago my friends and I had a party in the marketplace, brought our own equipment and danced and invited people around us to join. Some old guy came around and said that the street will soon be locked so we better hurry back home and stop the party, otherwise we'd be stuck inside and couldn't leave until morning.
No, the street can't be locked.0 -
Last year my boyfriend and I were watching the Canada Day fireworks and I looked over beside us and there was a lady with her cat in a harness in her arms petting him saying "good boy, it's ok... good boy" The poor cat looked terrified. Not really sure why this woman thought her cat would enjoy watching fireworks, but she stayed through the whole thing. :huh:0

When I was working as a waitress a couple of drunk guys came in to have breakfast. The one guy went to the washroom first then came out to pay. He forgot to tuck and zip and it was all hanging out. I was so embarrassed. His buddy told him and he didn't care. He packed it all back in and went to hand me a tip. I said NO it is ok, you can keep it. Eww:sick:0

I used to be a receptionist in a urology office and most patients had to leave a urine sample before they were seen. No matter how many times I told them to "leave it in the cabinet above the toliet", patients would CONSTANTLY try to hand me their urine. Half the time without putting the damn lid on the cup!!! We also had this one 97 year old patient that had his girlfriend (who was probably 90) wheel him in each week for his viagra script :laugh:
Thank god I don't work their anymore lol0 -

This one is not about anything gross
This happened to a colleague of mine when we used to work at the same seafood restaurant. We had a special on beer-battered shrimp in them days.
A man came in and ordered 45 beer-battered shrimp, my colleague served him. When the man was nearly done eating, he asked if he wanted anything else. The man said "I'd like another 45 beer-battered shrimp". He got it, and ate it. Again, my colleague asked him, would he like anything else? The man said "I'd like another order of 45 beer-battered shrimp". My colleague was pretty happy at this point because his tip was going up with each order, so when the man was nearly done with his third portion, he said "sir, you must really like our beer-battered shrimp!"
The man said "I'm a recovering alcoholic and this is the only thing I can have that tastes like beer!"
And he ordered another 45 beer-battered shrimp...
True story! And the weird thing was - that shrimp tasted nothing like beer, I have no idea how it got its name, but I couldn't taste any beer in the batter...0 -

I've seen elderly people doing this. One guy hit me. He made a left turn from the center lane, right into me. He had to have been 90. Cops came, reports filed..everything done and we both drove away.. I let him get ahead of me, and he did the same damn thing again a block further up the road.0 -
Mind you, she used to pick her nose and wipe it in her curly hair which was also very strange behaviour for a lady in her twenties/thirties! x

Well I am going to tattle on myself. Once I lived in the worst apartment complex in the midst of a well a 2nd ring suburb. So, anyway, the neighbors liked to play loud music at all hours of the night. I would go and bang on the door and tell them to turn it down. They would for about 15 minutes then I would go back and do the same thing. But, that isn't the strange part the strange part is I did this after knowing the guy has a couple of guns and after a friend of mine had a gun pulled on him for the doing the same exact thing. Of course I never thought it was strange/weird/suicidal but other people have said yeah that's um not advisable. And I would do it again.0

Time for another one!
Drunk and/or high woman comes into the store. She's making a scene and being rude to other customers so the managers asked Lynn (by far the sweetest and most well-mannered manager we have) to ask her to leave the store. The lady refused, so Lynn said she would have mall security come and escort her if she'd like. So with a big fuss she headed to the exit. Lynn followed her to the exit to make sure she didn't steal anything/hurt herself/hurt other people on the way out. The woman caught herself on one of our alarm things and tripped.
She immediately grabbed her ankle and screamed and asked everyone if they saw Lynn push her out of the store! Lynn called security for first aid, they took some picture of her ankle (since it happened right outside our store, thank god) and got her ice, blah blah blah. She kept carrying on about how Lynn pushed her and she was gonna sue and she wanted the cops to come. Lynn told her she could call the cops for her if she'd like, and she'd even be more than willing to hand over the security tapes. The woman ended up leaving without wanting the cops called, surprise surprise.
The next day the same woman came back in wearing at least 5 inch heels asking for an incident report to fill out because she had an x-ray done and she had sprained her ankle, and it was sooo painful. LMAO. Longer story short, we are now to refuse service if she comes back to the store:)0 -
Oh Sunshine, I would have done the same thing! lol I had a strange neighbor...whenever I played music even if softly, my downstairs neighbor, I swear it would take a broom to the ceiling and could hear her screaming to stop it. After a couple times of that, I just stopped playing music but shed still do that and even went out on the balcony to scream and curse me out.
The police came to my place a couple times, saying neighbors complained I was throwing a loud party and disturbing noises were coming from my apt...once kiddo and I were just having dinner, the second time, I was giving her a bath when they came by. Both times, no music or even the tv was on.
One day, a girl comes by with flowers apologizing, and said it was her roommate. She had called the police so many times, they ended up fining her because a couple times, I wasnt even home when she called. They ended up kicking her out because of all sorts of reasons making her hard to live with. Never had a problem after that..but yeah, that was a really...really strange neighbor lol0 -
Do you work at Victoria's Secret? I worked at Sephora and we would get together with the Vikki and Guess girls (we were all in the same area) and trade stories. Some of the best ones were when people got caught stealing by our LPO. Tackles, screaming, scratching, biting. After I had to leave when my husband got stationed our guy ended up in the hospital because someone got him in the arm with a box opener. One of the best ones I had was a woman who spilled nail polish on her own shoes and then tried to get us to pay for them. She said they were $200 Coach shoes. But I had the same ones. $30 from Target. There was also a group of frat guys who were doing some kind of initiation thing and we did all their makeup for them. They bought a whole bunch of cologne from us so that they weren't wasting our time, which I thought was considerate.0
