15+ People Who Didn’t Serve Customers, But “Cry Babies”

I’ve been working in the perfumery business for more than 5 years and I’m already used to clients pronouncing brand names wrong. What really surprises me is something else: when they try to TRANSLATE THEM. A woman once asked me about the brand “Olhos do Santo Lourenço”. Can you guess what she meant by that? Yves Saint Laurent. For her, apparently, the male name Yves was synonymous with the word “eyes” (“eyes in English. Or, also: “Female Line”. What brand would that be? Later I found out that he was referring to Guerlain. Guerl would be the same as “girl” (“girl”) in English… © Подслушано / Ideer

A classic “end of the sting”. A customer went to pick up the flash manual I had ordered from the store. Later, she called desperately:
“You sold me a broken device!” It’s not working and the wedding will start in 30 minutes!
At that point, I turned on “professional” mode and assured her that we checked all appliances before handing them over.
“Did you charge the batteries before putting them in, ma’am?”
– Of course yes! Do you think I would go into a photo shoot with dead batteries?!
I dropped all appointments and clients, got in the car and drove to her address. There was no other option. I crossed the city, but managed to arrive in time. I put my own batteries in flash and, voila, It worked. The client looked at me a little embarrassed and said:
“Hey, I thought mine were loaded…”
As she was leaving, she still had the audacity to ask:
“Wouldn’t you have one?” pen drive, no? My camera operator forgot to bring it and the event starts in 5 minutes… © cinemarental / Pikabu

I work making ceilings. We completed a laborious order: we worked two days for 12-13 hours. The customer, a young man, was happy with the result, made some observations and we corrected them right away. A week passed. We received a call from an unknown number and a female voice:
– Good Morning! I’m the mother of that boy who hired them. Now I’m in the apartment and I didn’t like the light fixtures: they are not level!
“And where is the boy, madam?”
“He’s at work, so I’ll deal with this problem.
– I understood. But what exactly is your complaint?
— Fixtures in a row are not flush with each other.
At this point, my jaw started to quiver, as there were about 47 light fixtures scattered throughout the apartment. If they really were uneven then it would be because they didn’t put the thermal rings in the right place and I would probably have to replace everything. It would be a disgrace. We went to the house to check. This woman was waiting for us right at the entrance, apparently quite angry. I said:
“Calm down, let’s have a look.” Show, please, where it is not level.
– I will not show anything. Find yourselves.
I went through every room, every corner. I couldn’t see any flashy errors, at least to the common eye. I started to get nervous:
— Which lamp did you not like? What joke is this? Do you think I’m a fortune teller?!
– This one! she pointed. “It’s closer to the wall than this one here.
I measured the distance from each lamp to the wall: 60 cm. All the fixtures in the sequence: 60 cm from the wall. The accuracy even surprised me. I ended up measuring the distance to all the light fixtures in the apartment with the woman beside me. Still not convinced, she took the ruler and checked it herself. She rolled her eyes and, turning her back on me, added:
“They still look uneven to me…

I work with tourism. Today there was a group tour — it started at 10 am and lasted about 5 hours. Shortly after it ended, one of the customers called:
– Hello! Why so little?
– Like this?
— The excursion was very fast, we could not see almost anything. Fix it!
I contacted the guide. He confirmed that he followed the script as planned, without delays or deviations from the route. I called the customer once more and clarified what the guide had confirmed to me. Client:
— So, you think it’s right to start at 12:30? WE COULD NOT WAKE UP EARLIER! THERE WAS A LOT OF NOISE LAST NIGHT AT THE HOTEL AND I COULD NOT SLEEP RIGHT!
I don’t have any agreements with the hotel, I just sold the tour separately and sent all the details in advance. I insisted:
— Well, the tour lasted more than 5 hours and started on time. Your group received the email with the schedules and the route. What’s your complaint, sir?
“We haven’t even seen the palace!” Nobody explained anything!
— But you who were two and a half hours late. What do you want me to do?
“We want to see the palace!”
“Now it’s closed.” But even if it were open, the guide would not show you anything, as he has already fulfilled his responsibility for today.
“Make an appointment for tomorrow!”
— Okay, just for 2-3 hours? To see the palace?
– Yea!
– Perfect.
I informed the values ​​(half the normal price) and I almost went deaf right after:
— ARE YOU CRAZY?! I JUST SAID THAT WE’RE LATE BECAUSE WE CAN’T SLEEP RIGHT! © Galatan / Pikabu

We received a request to repair a laptop, still under warranty, where the same message “change the battery” always appeared. As it was only 14 days after the purchase, we sent a request for a money back. Later, however, we discovered that the message, which was seen in the right corner of the typical Windows desktop, had been made in photoshop. Note 10 for trickery! © AleksHitch / Pikabu
