Humorous Work Stories

Here at MoneyMoose we understand that there are some (albeit few) funny things about work. A site called The Customer Is Not Always Right has a very amusing list of real work experiences that showcase the idiocy peculiarity of shoppers everywhere. Although MoneyMoose does not often write about humor, we too can appreciate the hilarity of these articles. Take this one, for example:

(A customer wanders down the paint aisle I’m working on and asks for advice on which paint to use. I tell him, and he asks for the differences between brands)

Employee: “Brand A is just a bit thicker than Brand B. But other than that, they’re pretty much the same.”

Customer: “What do you mean ‘thicker’?”

Employee: “The paint has a thicker consistency.”

Customer: “I don’t understand.”

Employee: “Do you know what cake batter looks like? And water?”

Customer: “Yes.”

Employee: “Cake batter is thicker than water, like Brand A is thicker than Brand B.”

Customer: “Brand A is cake batter?”

(It goes on like this for awhile. I ended up leaving him there to contemplate)

As a service to you, the customer, I have developed a small card that the paint company may pass out to prevent further confusion.
