Ah, the nerdiness! The googles, they do nothing!!!

Just had a quick look at where Super Cheap Auto is (need to replace a brake light on my car) on Google Maps and clicked on Street View to double check my visual reference.

 

As I'm looking at the building, I notice a little icon of what looks like a little head-and-shoulders with red and blue eyes. When mousing over it the eyes move. Turns out that they're meant to signafy 3D googles, because clicking on the little icon makes the picture go blurrier, which is a classic trademark of what will happen when watching something that's in '3D' without the requisite googles.

 

Geez, could the guys from the Googleplex get any more nerdy???

 

Paul.

 

PS. It was where I thought it was, so all is well with the world. Oh, and pun totally intended!

If we stab them, will they not bleed?!?

Bloody Stupid

Grocery Store | Phoenix, AZ, USA

(The previous customer had purchased nineteen whole chickens. The packaging leaked chicken blood/juice onto the cashier belt.)

Me: “Just one second, ma’am. I’m going to clean the belt off first. There’s a ton of chicken blood on it and it’s pretty nasty.”

Customer: “Excuse me? Do you think I’m stupid?”

Me: “I’m sorry, I don’t quite get what you mean.”

Customer: “I’m not an idiot. A chicken is a bird, and birds don’t bleed!”

A Gold Medal For Meddling With Time

TV Studio | Vancouver, Canada

(I work for a network that is hosting the 2010 Olympic games. The network is selling a DVD pack of Olympic highlights that people can order now, and will be sent to them when the Olympics have finished.)

Me: “Hello and thanks for calling. How may I help you?”

Caller: “Hi, I saw the ad on TV about the Olympic DVD pack you’re selling, and I’d like to order one. I was wondering if I could get them shipped to me by Friday. My son’s birthday is on Saturday.”

Me: “Sir, the Olympics don’t end until Sunday.”

Caller: “So, what’s the problem?”

Me: “You’re asking to have them shipped to you two days before the Olympics end. And even after the Olympics are over, I’m sure it’s going to take some time to get all of the packages made and shipped.”

Caller: “So you can’t have them here by Friday?”

Me: “Sir, there is no way to get them to you by Friday because the Olympics don’t end until Sunday.”

Caller: “That’s ridiculous! Now what are we supposed to get Johnny? Isn’t there any way they can get all the Olympics done before Friday?”

THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!!!

Comically Bad Timing

Grocery Store | Prince Edward Island, Canada

Me: “Hi, How are you?”

Customer: “Good, how are you?”

Me: “I’m good. Do you have an Air miles card?”

Customer: “Yes, Yes I do.”

(He hands me a card that is well-worn and falling apart.)

Customer: “It’s really old, but it still works well. My god does it ever work well.” *creepy look*

(The customer pays and leaves, all the while staring at me very creepily. About two minutes later, he comes back into the store, returns to my line, looks at me right in the eye, and says…)

Customer: “THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID!”

A Rose By Any Other Name

Grocery Store | Kansas, USA

(A customer comes to the bakery and asks me if we sell some ointment.)

Me: “Sorry, but we don’t sell that here.”

Customer: “Where can I get it?”

Me: “I would suggest one of the local pharmacies.” *I name a few, including B & J’s Pharmacy*

Customer: “Is B & J’s Pharmacy…a pharmacy?”

Me: “Yes…”

Women’s Studies, Not Studying Women

College | Sydney, Australia

(I work in enrollment in my university.)

Me: “What degree would you like to enrol in?”

Customer: “I don’t know.”

Me: “Well, what are you interested in?”

Customer: “Hot girls.”

Me: “You mean ‘Women’s Studies’?”

Customer: “Does that have lots of girls in it?”

Me: “Pretty much all girls.”

Customer: “Awesome, I’ll do that.”

(Note: ‘Women’s Studies’ studies feminism.)
