I love it!!! How many times have I heard these things???

I work for an electronics store that sells to the public and to installers, etc. For the most part we have the best customers in the world. Most know what they need and how to describe it.

Some of them can be pretty entertaining. I like it when the wife/girlfriend/whoever is sent to get a part and knows nothing about it, just go and get it, they will know what you need. "My husband fixes TV's and he needs to know what the little round thing is that swelled up and burst and how to replace it. Do you have them?" The messenger is often there unwillingly and will get anything just to get it done, only to be back later, mad as you know what, because we didn't get the right thing.

Then there is the rocket scientist who is going to fix his (fill in the blank here). He saw it done on utube and we are supposed to understand. Not only is he an expert, but also will question anything we may tell him. At the same time, he will ask "Now how does this fit again..."

Oh, we also have a few who are constantly devising ways to thwart the people who are spying on them. They pay only in cash, park their cars around the corner where we can't see what they are driving, and constantly look over their shoulders. We sell cameras and related security devices, so these people come pretty often.

It goes on and on. I do love my job though. It's easy for the most part, we are always busy and I get to work 8-5 and off on weekends. My way of dealing with the cranks is to try and not be like them.

After selling something that I know they can't use I always tell them I don't want be reading about them in the paper later.
