Iv always been glad I dont work in a public facing game, because (generalising here obv) I dont like the public. It harbours far too many total nuggets

 

Thankfully I'm not public facing, or even customer facing, but I've had to get involved with one particular customer and it's absolute hell. They're not a member of the public, it's a trade (retail) customer, and they are a shower of utter, utter c***s that are making my life a misery right now.

When you try and explain to the other half,

I do love you but for the next 15 minutes as we walk through this crowded shopping centre can we not hold hands because it is very busy and

There are loads of people with prams and pushchairs, stalls to get round, people walking at different speeds and in different directions and the process of trying to hold hands and using 3-D geometry to calculate changing spaces ahead to ensure there is enough space to get two through the gap walking side by side is an exercise that would tire the brain of Stephen Hawkins (and folk in wheelchairs are another hazard as well), is that OK?

 

Her response ' why don't you love me anymore?',

And cue walking through a shopping centre bumping into folk, arm and leg movements that look like you doing the Gay Gordons to get round a bin, and generally life being more awkward for that time period.

I fucking hate holding hands.

This. There are loads of beautiful places in Mexico that are unlike anywhere else in the world, so why fly across the Atlantic for something you could get for half the price in Europe? Dubai's another one, I just don't get it.

 I just don't get it.

After reading about you guzzling bottles of whisky in bed that's no great surprise ;)

You're quite right though about the destinations - have some imagination FFS.

Thought Cancun was shit to be honest. Got sick and tired very quickly of that little plane that was advertising Coco Bongos flying overhead every 10 minutes.

A pished stained jakey on the back of the bus trying desperately to stir up a conversation with you, when they can't put together one clear and coherent sentence. They then try to convince you that they don't drink either.

Doing my best to ignore this one...

I know the customer is king, and the customer is always right, and without customers you wouldn't have a business but by f**k, I fucking hate customers.

I'm allowed to tell the threatening and and obnoxious customers to f**k off in my work .It's good for the soul and saves a fortune on therapy.I cringe when i see the shit people in pubs and restaurants etc have to take. I couldn't handle the bollocks of having to turn the other cheek.

If you're not allowed to swear at them just be psychotically polite while being 100% uncooperative. Drives them mad and gives you a win if the call's recorded.

People driving at 40mph on perfectly good, dry roads in clear conditions.  Anyone who is unable/unwilling to drive more than 40mph should not be allowed behind the wheel of a car.

So there actually are old people who want to drive properly?

You learn something new every day.

A universal problem. A worldwide truism: Only two things prevent you from running a successful business: customers and staff. Find a way not to have to deal with either and suddenly you are halfway to being home n hosed...
