Six people to worry about today

I wish I didn't believe them, but I do. This was my own experience a couple weeks ago... I was checking out at the grocery store w/ a bag of apricots and a few other items.

Cashier 1: What're these,peaches?
Rabbit: No, they're apricots.
Cashier 1: Oh. Hey, Cashier 2, what's the code for apricots?
Cashier 2: [gives a number]
Cashier 1 punches in the number, then: No, that's for oranges. What did you say these are, peaches?
Rabbit: No, they're apricots.
Cashier 1: They're not on our list. What are they again?
Rabbit, very slowly and loudly: Ap-ri-cots. A-P-R-I-C-O-T.
Cashier 2: What are they under?
Rabbit: What do you mean, "What are they under?"?
Cashier 2: Well, are they under peaches, or apples, or what?
Rabbit: They're not any of those! They're apricots!
 
McDonalds - just because there are minimum wage jobs, does not mean you have to work at one.

:lol:

You: "Apricots."
Cashier: "Peaches?"
You: "Apri-cots!"
Cashier: "Peach-es!"
You: "A-P"
Cashier: "P-E"

:D

You'd have really sent the poor cashier for a loop if you'd said, "They're like peaches, but without fur". :lol:

Especially because those would be nectarines. ;)
 
This makes my idea of ruling the world much more easy to put up in practice.
May I have a position within your new hierarchy, Mr. Iquana? I promise to be loyal.
Promises mean nothing to the Iguana. Binding legal contracts, on the other hands, are fully acceptable. The Iguana is stern but not unreasonable.

I'll have my lawyers call your lawyers. ;)

Well this doesn't give me much faith in the human race.

Oh. crap.

Well, count me as one of the stupid cashier types then. :lol:

I wasn't even supposed to work today!!!

That was totally cosmic. ;) That's OK. I'm sure you have other ... more "tangible" talents. ;)

I aim to please. :p

It's okay. I worked in the Produce Department for 5 years. You didn't stand a chance. :p

Well then, let's just acknowledge that I was humble enough not to defend myself. :lol:
 
Well , I'm not sure how many of those actually happened to the OP, sorry if I'm wrong.

I had a coworker that when seeing a drawing of a lioness, asked me what it was, I said a lion, she asked where the hair was. Understandable, as most of us think of a lion with a mane...but I told her this was a female. She looked at me. She then asked why it didn't have all the hair. I told her again because it's a female. then I realized she didn't know that the females don't have manes.
 
TWO

I was checking out at the local Woolworths with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those 'dividers' that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn't get mixed.
After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the 'divider', looking it all over for the bar code so she could scan it.
Not finding the bar code, she said to me, 'Do you know how much this is?'
I said to her 'I've changed my mind; I don't think I'll buy that today.'
She said 'OK,' and I paid her for the things and left.
She had no clue to what had just happened.
I think the real question is: how did Woolworths survive? ;) [Probably an old story, or it refers to the original Woolworths which, unlike the UK counterpart, didn't go into liquidation this year - someone]

The Iguana is too busy to administer discipline personally when you can have a host of lawyers doing your evil bidding.
 
This is actually a true story. When I was at university, we had an animal anatomy class, part of which included dissecting (ugly) critters. At one point, we were dissecting some worm thingy, and this girl, who was much older than any of us, due to having to repeat every single year about 3 times before passing, asked the following question:
Girl: "How do you know whether it's a male or a female?"
Other girl: "It's a hermaphrodite."
Girl: "Right. I'm thinking mine's male."
Other person: "No, it's a hermaphrodite."
Girl: "So a female?"
Entire class: :rolleyes: "Hermaphrodite!" :rolleyes:
