As for my work, there's a million stories, although none make much sense or are very funny unless you know what's happening.
But a lot of it goes:
"I demand that you do _________ in ______ time for ________ dollars"
Well, in order to do _______, I need 5 times the money and time allotted, and also I'll have to break a few of the "unbreakable rules" that you specified in our contract. Also several rules of nature/physics.

fucking retard | Difference in this case was, it was the shopper that was the retard - did all his "research" on the internet but still had no idea what he was asking for... so of course the lowly minimum-wage salesdroid had no idea what the guy was talking about.

Upon closer inspection... 
Somehow, the car was still driveable. Don't ask me how.

when i was in school i worked at a gas station and i noticed the register started flashing that all of the pumps were out of order. i look outside and noticed that a car that was a boat was on top of one of the pumps. the car ran over a gas pump and the entire thing was on its side
the lady comes in and said she parked her car and her kid (looked like it was 2 years old) went into the driver's seat, turned the car on b/c she left her keys in the car, and put it in neutral. i figured she was blaming her infant child for her forgetting to put the car in park. the owner of the gas station wasn't too thrilled getting the phone call from me explaining some lady's car ran over a gas pump and put them all out of order

Today, a guy purchases some stuff using his credit card. The credit card slip was gonna print so I gave him a pen first in order to sign it after (while waiting for the slip to finish printing). He then said "thanks, I have enough pens at home... thanks for the kind gesture though..." Didn't know how to reply him. lol

In retrospect this was kind of fucking retarded because, come on, what if the guy just had intestinal problems. Or like to  in semi-public bathrooms.
I heard him take the tank off of the back of the toilet, some clicking, then a noisy grotesque SNOOOOORRRRRT.
It turned my stomach. I started pounding on the door and told him to GTFO b/c the police were on their way. He ran out the back door only to return a few hours later to beg forgiveness. | wat a buzz kill

these are pretty good
but a while ago I was in La Ven en Rose (sp) with my gf she went to try on some stuff so I was waiting by the change rooms. This girl (not my gf) came out and asked how it looks on her, I looked up and was like stunned. she was HOT in some sort of lingerie thing...
sadly she looked around couldn't find someone and went back in to change, turns out she was looking for her friend which was somewhere in the shop.

I hear lots of stupid stories when working at BC Ferries like....
Some American thought that the terminal attendants drove the cars on to the ferries for them while they walked on....
People who ask if the ferry is going to Victoria after they have driven onto the ferry...

When I asked her what she was going to use at the ATM she replied...my bank card.
After 20 minutes of explanations she learned how the interac system worked and paid at the store with her bank card.
Her smile was priceless.
