Work in the rail industry. Passenger asks if the train on the platform was going to Manchester. I told them no, this was the Holyhead train, the Manchester isn’t for another half an hour. They argued and shouted it was, it must be, as it stops some of the places the Manchester…

…does. I kept trying to tell them, but they got on anyway. Now, stops are the same to Shrewsbury, where due to late running it was ran fast to Chester, then Bangor. I do wonder what complaint they made to the staff that had to tell them Holyhead isn’t Manchester…

In retail.
Them: give this to me free.
Me: I can’t really do that.

Working at Borders there’s a kid going nuts on the bargain books which had noisemakers. After 30 min a woman complains to me about how adults weren’t disciplining their kids correctly. 15 noisy minutes later she decides to confront the kid – which she realized in shock was HERS.

I work in uni admissions. Someone calls me & asks why they’d been rejected. I tell them they don’t have the grades (by a mile). They then demand we change it as they had already quit their job & had no money because they were certain they would get in. Obviously that was my fault

An American passenger on my Tour bus insisting my commentary was wrong and that Glasgow was in fact the capital of The Highlands.

Spectacular. You know what, I'm fairly sure "stupid shit you've heard American tourists say" is its own mega-thread. I'll save it for a rainy day / B**xit distraction. I've got stacks of them.

In McDonalds, some woman in the queue was arguing with her teenage son. When she got to the till, she demanded I tell her son that he’d end up working here like me if he didn’t get good GCSEs. I said “I have a degree” and she just snapped “Oh, how nice for you”.
