Unlocked work post ho noes!
  I had the BEST dumb customer yesterday. THE BEST. This one goes in the epic halls of epicness. This is way more epic than the lady who asked me if I could make a black and white picture color. It's so good that I'm not even locking it. The awesomeness of this must be shared.

  So we have a lot of cute little holiday knick-knacks strewn around the store, one of which is a "Bob" clock. It is called so because it is kind of egg-shaped, and so it... bobs. And on the packaging, the Bob clock is currently displaying the time as 8:08, you know, 'cause it looks like "BOB." Get it, it's a big hat; it's funny, ha ha.

  So we have this swarm of typical highschool girls pass through, picking up calendars, and they go on their way, giggling and talking about Hanson or whatever the damn kids are into these days. But one of them comes back to me, clutching the Bob clock.

Girl: Hey. Does this clock always say 8:08?
Me: ... I'm sorry?
Girl: Does this clock always say 8:08?
Me: Er... no. It... it's a joke. 'Cause... you know... Bob.
Maria: (hearing only the tail end of this conversation) It bobs.
Girl: Oh, okay.
Me: ...

  A CLOCK WHICH ONLY DISPLAYS ONE TIME FOREVER IS NOT REALLY A CLOCK, ALSO IT WOULD BE TOTALLY SHITTY GIFT IDEA. IF IT SAYS "CLOCK," I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THE TIME ACTUALLY CHANGES.

I had a good one Monday, going round and round in circles trying to get her to understand that I could NOT open her TaxCut file on my computer. "But I could open it on miiiiine!" *headesk*
