There was a woman who brought her pet parrot to Walmart. The parrot was squawking all kinds of things like 'hello' and 'pretty colors'. Everyone was amused and gathered around to see the parrot. It was quite a scene.
I witnessed a customer who was convinced that the self - checkout machine was stealing his money. He kept arguing with it, yelling things like 'Give me back my change, you mechanical thief!' while the employees were trying hard not to laugh.
A business traveler checked into a hotel and realized he had forgotten his tie. He called the front desk and asked if they could provide one. The front desk clerk rummaged through lost and found and found a very flamboyant, bright - colored tie. The guest was a bit hesitant at first but when he put it on, he couldn't help but laugh. He later said it was the most unique 'hotel - provided' item he had ever received and it actually made his day.
Sure. There was a situation where an Xcom engineer was trying to repair a piece of equipment during a battle. But in his haste, he accidentally activated a self - destruct sequence on a nearby vehicle. The panicked look on his face as he tried to figure out how to stop it was really funny. Luckily, another teammate with better tech skills managed to override it just in time.
Sure. Once during a tour, a dog somehow made its way onto the stage during a Grateful Dead performance. The band members just laughed and continued playing while the dog ran around for a bit before being gently escorted off. It was really unexpected and added a touch of hilarity to the show.
Well, there's the story of a dad who planned to sing a lullaby to the baby as soon as it was born. But when the baby arrived, he was so choked up that he couldn't get a single note out. Instead, he just made some really strange croaking noises. Another dad had this elaborate plan to cut the umbilical cord in a very ceremonious way. But when the moment came, he got so nervous that he almost dropped the scissors. And there was a dad who was so eager to hold the baby that he accidentally elbowed the nurse in the face as he reached for the newborn.
Sure. There was a customer who ordered a huge ice - cream cone at Disney World. As he was walking and enjoying it, a bird flew by and snatched a big chunk right off the top. His shocked expression was priceless.
Once, I saw a customer at Walmart trying to fit an enormous inflatable pool into a tiny shopping cart. The pool was half the size of the cart and sticking out all over. He just kept pushing it around, knocking things over, with this determined look on his face.
One horror story could be long lines at the checkout. Customers might wait for ages with a full cart, especially during peak hours like weekends or holidays. It's really frustrating when you just want to get home quickly.
Sure. There was a girl who had a one - night stand. In the morning, she found that the guy had drawn a really goofy face on her arm with a marker while she was asleep. She was shocked at first but then found it really funny. They took a picture of it and she still has that as a funny memory.
Sure. A customer once bought a new refrigerator from Walmart. When it was delivered, it had a big dent on the side. The customer called Walmart's customer service immediately. But they were passed around from one department to another, and it took them hours just to get someone to start looking into the issue.
Yes. There was a case where a customer host was guiding a customer to the electronics section. On the way, another customer bumped into them very hard and then started shouting at the host as if it was their fault. The host was just doing their job but had to face this unjust anger.
