In the late '90s I drove about 50 miles in rush hour traffic, on overtime, to press the power button on a Macintosh that the makeup vendor at a kiosk in Nordstrom's had turned off.  She was panicking so badly my boss couldn't talk her through trouble shooting it over the phone.  He had me come get a spare computer and bring it down to the site.  I had a feeling the Mac already there was fine, so I left in in the van and went inside and asked her what had happened.  She pointed at the power button on the keyboard and said she pressed that button.  I pressed the power button and the Mac booted up just fine.  I explained that it was just the power button and told her computers weren't that fragile and not to worry about breaking it so much.

This happens irtually every time I order a meal at mcdonalds, per their prescribed pattern of asking for it by number. I ask for a #4 medium with a soft drink. 9 out of 10 times they ask if I want the meal. 2 out of 10 times I ask if they thought I wanted a medium number to eat, generally only when I am very hungry because I unfortunately can be a salamander when I get hungry. I rarely go there now thank god.

Here is one that happened to me..

I am bee sting allergic, and I worked in a Dunkin Donuts in NH. It was towards the end of my shift when i was putting the trash out in the dumpster when i got stung twice. I went to use my epi-pen and realized i had left it at home. I walked in to the front of the store to inform my boss. I told her I was bee sting allergic and I had just got stung. I was already having distress breathing.

As she looked at me she asked what to do.. I said call an ambulance..

Her respose.. "What is the number for 911?"

The customers went dead silent, then a wiseass comment came from the back, "Call 411 to get the number for 911.."

Try to laugh when you cant breath..

when I first started driving, I pulled up to the gas pump and started pumping the $9 in gas, the pumps were running slower than heck.  I watched this woman go in and buy 2 quarts of oil, came out and put both into a little Honda crx.  she leans over engine, goes back in and buys 2 more quarts.  puts both of those in.  Now I am like WOW :O just did an oil change.  so she goes back in and buys 2 more quarts and started putting the first one in as I got done pumping the gas.  I asked her if she knew how much oil she had put into her car, she was like well yeah I know, 5 quarts my husband said it was down by a quart, but I still cant see it in the hole.  She was looking down the filler hole instead of using the dipstick.
