Customers Can Be Great Fun
October 24, 2007

Over the years I've heard some pretty hilarious things from the mouths of some of my customers.  While I should have been writing them down all along, I've finally decided to compile what I can remember for your reading enjoyment.

*Said by a dad in reference to his wife trying to fit their newborn into a sling:
"It's like trying to fit a marshmallow into a toaster!"

*Said by a mother to her misbehaving toddler:
"Do you want your bottom to be troubled?"

*Another from a mother to her toddler:
"You get what you get and you don't pitch a fit!"

*A customer's introduction of himself to me:
"This is Ed Turner, like Ted Turner only without his money."
(Mr. Turner is a dear friend and loyal long time customer but I will NEVER forget the first time I talked to him!)

*A woman to her child:
"I can see the future in my crystal ball and it is showing you getting a spanking if you don't knock it off!"
(Oh, wait, that was me to my daughter!)

I've also had some bizarre requests over the years.  Here are a few that come to mind:

*Children's wooden toy blocks (for a parrot!)

*Waterbed mattress for a crib

*Parts for a SNOWWIS crib (read upside-down)


I've had customers over the years who have given me hugs, cards, high-fives, cookies, and even a potted plant.  The thing I most appreciate receiving from my customers, though, is a laugh!  This blog is dedicated to the amazing customers who make everyday worth working.  Cheers!
