When Uncle David (or simply David to his friends and siblings) posted that humorous cartoon about work; it made me start thinking about how stressful work can be, and how useful a little comic relief can be every now and again. As I work in retail, the most amusing thing to me is the customers and some of my coworkers. It is, of course, rude to laugh at them, but when they are not around, I will surely share the anecdote with someone else, merely as a de-stresser of course...Anyway, here are some amusing things that have happened at my job:

1. The time a coworker of mine tried to put an entire packet of new blades into the top of a box-cutter that is meant to hold one. There is a little section in the handle of the tool for the extra blades, but she was trying to load them all at once into the place where the blade you use goes.
2. The time a customer asked me if tampons have an expiration date.
3. The man who came to me for fashion advice at two in the morning. First of all, what do I know about fashion?
4. The sweet and crazy little old lady who spends hours each night shopping for absolutely nothing and wasting our time. I know she just wants the company, but it can be taxing at times trying to answer all her questions. One night she pulled her shirt up so that I could see the kind of bra she wanted to buy...
5. This one is both amusing and annoying, but the customers actually try the diapers on their children prior to buying them...
6. The time a co-worker threw a toy lizard that feels real onto another associate and made her jump about ten feet and scream loud enough to be heard across the store.
7. The guy that no longer works there partly because he was a thief, but partly because he thought it would be cool to get a teardrop tattoo on each cheek, both of which subsequently turned into gangrene. I know it is not funny, but the idiocy of it astounds me.
8. The amusing antics of Nikki, our resident drag queen...
9. The time some guy decided to strip down to a thong and walk around the store...
10. The guy who put on a ladies longhorns sweater that was too small, an orange Wahl's-brand jump-suit, and a backwards longhorns hat and wander around the store...
11. The guy who wanted to know how many cans came in a twenty-four pack...
12. The customer who asked my co-worker, who was in full uniform, if she worked there, to which my response would have been, "No, I just think I look fashionable in a big blue vest!" but I, thankfully, was not there...
13. The phrases that my co-workers use to tease each other, such as, "All night to do that?" and "Waste of payroll!"

What are some things that have made work funnier to any of y'all?
