    Which means, at some stage, a man not capable of understanding that in order to use a video recorder, you have to put a blank video in it, managed to pass a test which allows him to drive a car on our roads.

    Does this worry anyone else?

    I'm trying to think up some good ones. When I'd just started working for Tecno, a guy comes in and buys a £2.99 coaxial aerial cable- which was fine, but he picked up a male-male one, which is very rarely the one people need.

    Me: "Are you sure you need a male to male cable? They're not usually what people need."

    Him: "yep"

    Me: "O.K. well I tell you what, when you open the box slit the glue with a knife rather than ripping it open, that way you can bring it back if....."

    Him: <cuts me off> "yeah yeah yeah..."

    An hour later he was back, with the now ripped open and damaged box, asking a colleague of mine if he could exchange it for a male to female. I'm amazed he had the front to ever set foot in the shop again TBH.

    UPDATE!!

    The guy came in an hour ago (I've only just been told) with the whole damn kit and caboodle and asked for a refund.

    His reason was that it was no good for what he wanted it to do, as he wants to record Sky off it and it has no scart plug.

    The leccy desk guy pointed out it has an aerial and the guy can record the Sky through that so he wasn't going to give him a refund. The bloke complained, got a manager over who found out the guy had bought it thinking it was the same thing as a Sky+ box, cos you can record straight from the TV.... like there's any other way????

    UNBELIEVABLE!!

    The guy thought he was buying the equivalent of a Sky+ box just cos it had a video built in??

    I'm laffing so hard I'm nearly crying... apparently it took ten minutes of careful explaining to this chap that yes, you can view and record Sky on the thing, but no, it isnt a Sky+ box with a built in recording device... yes, he needs to use tapes and no, he isn't going to get a refund because it isn't a Sky+ box... He got pretty angry.. (can't believe I MISSED this!!) and did the usual thing of asking to see the STore Manager. He's not in today so the guy has promised to come back tomorrow.

    LMAO... he reckoned he was going to at the least get his money back for the petrol he'd used!

    cant tyope anymomre laughing too hard

    I don't seem to meet these people. The people I see during the course of the day are, on the whole, normal. Where do these special ones live?

    Get a job in a shop. The more technical the products it sells, the more of them you'll meet.

    Technical? thats got nothing to do with it! I used to work as trolley boy in a supermarket. Once a customer came up to ME, while OUTSIDE the store, gave me a half eaten cake and asked ME for a refund because it was Chocolate Chip and not raisin...I just looked at them, and pointed them in the direction of the customer service desk then went in for a "break" to watch the fun...

    Well, supermarkets are probably a pretty good bet for meeting nutters, I'll give you that.

    One of my favourites: Jessops (where I worked) is a camera shop. Walk in and you'll see nothing but cameras and camera accessories.

    Customer: "I'd like a weekly bus pass please."

    Us:

    BTW deckard m8, I'd be inclined to give the guy a refund even though you're in the right, because you can be sure that the story his friends hear won't be "I am a muppet" it'll be "that shop is crap- don't go there".
