Customers from HellThe customer is always right. And yet, as 'listentomyopinion' writes, this is utter bollocks.
Tell us of the customers who were wrong, wrong, wrong but you still had to smile at (if only to take their money.)

My sisterwhen she was a student, worked one summer in a haberdashery type shop.
One day, a woman from Dundee* came in and asked my sister for 'a buttonette'.
She was confused. She'd never heard of such a thing. However, the shop did stock a range of buttons and she directed the customer in this direction, at which point the woman got a bit annoyed and repeated, "Naw, eh'm wantin' a buttonette".
My sister had to then ask her to explain, whereupon she discovered it was actually, "a but (bit) o' net curtain, fur meh kitchen windae".
Oh dear.
(translation provided on request. Dundonians are not known for their eloquent speech, and pronounce the i sound, for example in pie, as eh. "Eh'll hae a peh")
