One of the weirdest calls I ever had: a guy seriously telling me he’d invented quantum physics and that the holographic strip on the $10 bill was actually a portal he put there. He was calm, convinced, and honestly sounded like he was living in his own sci-fi movie. It was one part eerie, one part hilarious, and totally stuck in my head for days.

Anyone else had a caller whose theory made you ask, “Wait, are we still at work?”

That’s an interesting interaction

Definitely an interesting interaction. You just never know what kind of person you’ll run into at work.

That was quite a call. I once had a call where a guy was flaunting and kept saying how much money he had and all. I just kept listening to him and was laughing inside too.

Sometimes all you can do is listen and let them talk, even if it’s a bit over the top

That is honestly bizarre. I don't think I have had anything weird like that happen. We do get a lot of prank calls though which is honestly annoying.

Lucky you 😂 Prank calls drive me nuts. They waste so much time for no reason.

I had some guy playing around with our (pretty crappy) guitars, then try to tell me he worked with a rather successful metal group. I nodded and smiled, but thought he was full of it until he pulled up some concert footage on YouTube that showed him playing with the band. Still don't know why he was shopping crappy beginner guitars, though.

Also had someone ask me what I thought of those handheld disc cleaners. My opinion was it never worked well, and was more likely to make a video game worse. He then told me his brother invented it, and it was awesome, and he made a LOT of money from it. As he was leaving, he leaned over, and stage whispered to me "but you're right, it is complete (garbage)"

That’s wild 😂 I would’ve thought the same thing until he actually showed proof.

Hello All,

I bought CER006 on Nov 21 with my current company email id and completed one certification. I am leaving my current organization and I still have 9+ months time left for CER006. My company says the s user id provided by them will get de-activated once I leave (in a week). I have not claimed the amount also. Is there any way I can transfer the certification to my personal email I'd so that I can write other exams in time left?

Once when I was waiting tables, I had a guy pay me cash. The change was 45 cents, which I didn't give back to him because like who wants that. He then asked where the change was, and when I explained that I didn't give back the loose change, he made a big stink about how dollars and cents matter and didn't leave me a tip. He was a republican staffer on capitol hill.

Back when I was getting started in the food world, I worked flipping burgers at In-n-Out. A man came in and said the burgers he had gotten weren’t right. He dumped the food on the counter and then he started throwing them back behind the counter. We gave him a refund and then his demeanor completely changed. He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.
