If you've worked in retail (or read Bored Panda's article on clients from hell) you probably already know that the customer isn't always right. But in order to paint you an accurate picture of the lengths they're prepared to go to satisfy their unreasonable needs, we invite you to take a look at this Twitter thread.

It started when Kayla (@baz00per) shared her worst experience in front of the counter. "Last week, I had a woman yell at me for putting a straw in her soda cup because 'we need to save our oceans' and then proceeded to order a $55 party boat of raw fish because this is a... sushi bar [sic]".

As her tweet was going viral, other users started relating to one another with similar stories, suggesting that some people might need to wear a muzzle in public.

Wouldn't that be awesome! I'd love to operate that printing press. "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies? Definitely ma'm, if you just sit down for a lil while'.

When we were in the US on vacation, my wife once made me drive her to Bed, Bath and Beyond, then walked around the shop and seemed very confused. "I imagined it to look quite different". She actually wanted to go to Bath and Body Works, which fortunately was 2 doors down in the same shopping centre.

Never expect logical thinking from customers, they often leave their brain outside of the store

Honestly, this sounds like something my son would say. Not complaining about it or getting mad but, being on the spectrum and having OCD, he would point out that it was indeed longer than stated (same goes for 'we have to make a couple stops before town'. I get the 'a couple is two, we stopped at three places').

I wish such customers would be thrown out. Treating employees like garbage mustn‘t be tolerated. You can disagree with a company‘s policy. You can voice your opinion. But that… I feel so sorry for OP.

Should have asked them to use it again in front of you just to be sure it was the toaster's fault.

It's psychological. I was eating a delicious apple bread-pudding one time, enjoying it thoroughly. I let the waitress know how good it was, especially the apple bits. Long story short, the "apples" turned out to be raisins, which I have a strong aversion to (also a long story). I begged her to tell me they were apples, which she did - and even though I knew they were raisins, the fact that she said they were apples was enough that I was able to finish the pudding.

Ok, not looking like him and probably clearly fake/stolen ID aside, yes, people absolutely DO get contact lenses to make their eyes brown. It might not be common where you are, but it is a thing.

It's a fair question...she may have been familiar with most of the employees and just not recognized your face. In which case asking her if she was "always this rude"...was in fact rude.
