Post your awkward work stories

Ok I'll start.

When I'm not at college I work as a waiter at an A&W restaurant.

I had this one table, it was this guy and his family. So I took thier order, but the cooks messed up one of the burgers, so I told him he wouldn't have to pay for it.

So he says "If you give me the whole meal free, I'll let you rape my daughter." And his daughter was right there too...

I was just like "Uhhh...", it was awkward.

So what about the rest of OT, what stories to you have?

That's what I was going for.:lol:

When people used to ask me what I did over summer break, I'd have to tell them that I counted and sorted crabs into boxes.

Grocery Store story: Dealing with customers from foreign countries can be very awkward. I feel wrong for saying I beg your pardon so many times.Oblivionfan10

I work as a cashier at a grocery store so I deal with weird people all the time.

There is this one lady that I have seen many times. She recognizes must of us that work there so she says he sometimes. Well one time awhile ago, she came through my line, said hey and all, doing normal stuff. There was a kid Ethan that was bagging the groceries, and after he finished bagging them, he walked off somewhere. After he leaves, the lady goes, "Hey Ricky, can you keep a secret? I think you're cuter than Ethan." This lady is probably 40+ years old so it was really weird hearing that from her. And no, she wasn't hot.

Then one time this other lady came through my line, and I don't know what her deal was, but she had some **** all over her front teeth. It looked kind of like she put gum there, but I think it was gray, and I don't think it was gum. So that was really weird. Then after I rang up her order, I gave her her receipt and told her to have a nice day, and she said, "I already am, meeting people like you" then did a weird smile. Other things she said also made it weird.

Then, not too long ago, this lady came in and her daughter was with her. I was working at the self-checkout station and they went to one of the registers there. The girl walked up to me and asked if I had a sharpie, and I looked in the drawer that is at the station, and there was one in there so I handed it to her. Right when I handed it to her, she gave it back and said "Will you sign my cast?" (she had like a broken wrist or something). Not gonna lie, I thought that was pretty clever, and I signed it. Then she started asking me questions like what school I went to, and asked if I worked on Friday, and after she asked that, her mom came over and was like "She has a school dance Friday and doesn't have a date yet." I had never talked to these people in my life so that was weird... and no, she wasn't hot.

Not really awkward, but more of a "wth do we do?" situation.

During the summers, I work on a ranch (real exciting v__v). One day, we're putting on bug repellent and giving the cattle their shots. When putting on the insect repellent, you have what looks kinda like a squirt gun, and the repellent comes out as a liquid. It turns out this liquid is extremely flammable. So when one of the cows doesn't want to go out of the chute, one of my co-workers gives her a little shock with a hot shot (that's what we call them). He somehow shocked the cow right where the previous co-worker had sprayed the insect repellent. So the cow starts on fire. Someone ended up pouring their Bud Light to extinguish it.

tl;dr: Cow started on fire.ff7fan2

In high school, I worked at a shop that sold inline skates. A guy came in with his little girl who was probably around 8 or 9, and he started asking me about the kind of workout you can get by skating. The girl didn't seem to like any of the skates I put on her, so the dad just went off on this poor girl, saying her thighs were fat and the only way she could be beautiful was to listen to him. She wasn't even that big, either.

:o That's crazy! Were there lols to be had after the fire was out?needled24-7

This experience happened while working at a grocery store a couple of years ago.

There was this guy that was severely mentally retarded that I always ran into around town. I would say "Hey" and smile to be friendly, but he couldn't really speak or comprehend. Anyway, I walk into the bathroom. This bathroom has 1 stall and 2 urinals. There was already a customer at one of the urinals, so I start to walk around to the stall, when I hear this crunching noise. I turn the corner, and the handicapped guy is sitting on the toilet with this huge grin on his face, eating a very large bag of Fritos corn chips.

I walk back around to the urinal in shock, and go to the bathroom. The other customer is still standing at my side at the other urinal. After a few seconds, I hear this sound like he's wadding up the bag of Fritos, and then the bag flies over the top of the stall and just slugs me in the head, as Fritos fly all over the floor. The other customer glances over, and we just stare at each other in silence.

At this point I am just creeped the **** out, and haul ass out of that bathroom.

when I was a host at a restaurant I sat this old dude and his friends to a table and he points at my name tag and asks "what's your name son?" and I tell him my names Andrew as I'm trying to fix my name tag I go for some reason I can't get it up (my name tag) and the old man goes "ha you can't get it up huh?" I kind did one of those fake laughs like wth was that and I walked away lol 'andyboiii

I worked in a surf and snowboarding shop for a season. It wasn't bad, good company, worked with a bunch of Aussies who kept reducing me to fits of giggles. One day, one of those guys farted. Not just any fart, we're talking a shop clearing, baby-killer fart! Seriously, the place lost a lot of potential paying customers due to that outbreak of corpse stench. And it lingered! It wouldn't go away! I would say that i'm amazed that one guff could cause so much damage to a shops revenue, except for that fact I WAS THERE! I smelt it, it was so bad I could almost see it!

Since that day the air in that shop was never the same again. It was like the evil had nestled into every piece of clothing, or it was hiding in the air vents like something out of a horror movie.

I think it may have scarred my lungs.
