The I've seen some really dumb shit at work Thread
 
So working at my shop I've come to realize there are a lot of dumb people on the road. So many that it scares me...

I present to you the first in a series... feel free to contribute.

The lady came in, to ask if we could fix her flat tire. When we walked outside we told her, "what tire?"
She goes to respond, "what do you mean? is it fixable?"

How does this even happen with no one noticing!

Let's hear your stories!

at my old work, the boss had some stuff made in china so that we could keep up the orders, the shit they sent us as samples didnt even compare to the stuff that we would scrap. the metal was full of all kinds of imperfections, we couldnt even melt the metal down to reuse it, it was that fucking bad. china=shit for metal products, ever since then i always try to buy non offshore stuff. i used to work at a foundry btw. lol

That's insane! Did you happen to find out how long she was driving like that?

I had a guy not know how to use a credit card, as in when I gave him a slip to sign he just stared at me and asked what to do.

i wish i took a picture of the guy who got his pads installed backwards. somehow managed to jam the thing into the caliper. trip from calgary to vancouver gave him another brake job.

the aftermath - the pads square end cut into the rotor hat. and totally ate away at the pad too. two piece rotors ftw.

MY neighbour was outside replacing the brakes on his van and asked if he put the anti-squeel goop on properly. He applied it to the pad itself.

I used to work as a cashier at a grocery store. Lady wanted to pay with debit, so I ran it through and passed her the keypad so she could enter her PIN. Instead she put it to the side of her head and started talking to it...

One time when I worked at best buy some kid around 16 years old came in and wanted to buy a USB card that you would stick into a PCI slot in your computer if you didnt have any USB ports. It was around $20.00. Now usually when we have to sell things at best buy we're encouraged to sell a "Performance Service Plan" with everything. I'm thinking to myself 'Nobody is going to want a psp on a usb card since its almost half the price of the card itself'. Wrong - I rang it through and the kid was like "can i get the psp on it as well?". I ask him "Are you sure?". He says "Yes" and I could see his dad standing behind him shaking his head in disappointment.

We had a guy pull into our welding shop and ask us to look at fixing the frame in his truck he said it cracked.... Ya right in half on both sides! And he used 2x4 wood with big hose clamps to hold it together!!! We told him no it can't be fixed.

That is epic!! It's gonna be tough for anything else in this thread to top that!

My dad did that on his old Dodge van once... ran it so long with the brakes grinding that he wore through the inner disc, the one that's attached ONLY by the fins. Said he had to panic-stop, slammed on the brakes, and BANG! no more grinding :D Took the wheel off and the remnants of that half of the disc were free-floating around the axle :)

Buddy of mine years ago had Canadian Tire do the brakes on his Porsche... they put the pads in backward, metal backing plate against the rotors, pad material against the calipers. Took it back to them when he noticed them starting to grind (as the thick layer of paint wore off the plate)... they told him it was fine and the noise was normal... :facepalm:

Epic redneck ghetto repairs!

Okay, my turn.

I was adding maglocks to the doors at the little Petro Canada kiosk store at Vic & 49th. I was working on the west door, had it all coned off on the outside, ladder blocking it on the inside, and the door locked. Some dipwad parked by the pumps on the west side, stepped right over my cones, and tried to open the locked door. Then he looked up at me on my ladder and motioned for me to open the door... so I pointed him at the opposite (east) door. He smiled and went around.

But it gets better! While he was inside, I had to move my ladder into the doorway, so I unlocked the door and did just that. While I was ON the ladder, almost entirely blocking the door, this same clown decided it would be a good idea to SQUEEZE PAST THE LADDER to get out!

Shoulda dropped my drill on his head.

My best friend back in High School 10 years ago worked at either ScotiaBank or HSBC. They watched an 85 yr old senior citizen put in his debit card at the ATM, and try 4x to withdraw $19.37 exactly. Every time the ATM rejected his request, he would retry. They laughed for minutes before finally helping the senior citizen.

Once at a Pharmacy I was working at, a 15 yr old hot brown girl talked to me about tampons, and she actually asked me to help her insert it. I was like holy fuck.

3seriesBeeM 05-11-2009 10:42 AM

I work as loss prevention and this one time this guy had put on a leather jacket and just ran out the doors so we went out and ran after him he already had a pretty good lead on us, he kept looking back to see where we were and if you have ever been to brentwood there is this big drop off from the parking lot to the sidewalk on near lougheed and this guy was kept looking back and didnt see the drop and just bailed over it we stopped in our tracks and started laughing like crazy walked over there and the guy was just rolling around on the ground we picked him up cuffed him and called the police adn ambulance he had dislocated his shoulder. thats karma at its best and its all on tape.
