And we’ve read all the answers – well, quite a few of them – so you don’t have to and here are our 13 favourites.

‘I worked at Walmart for a long time in the hardware dept. Had a customer call asking if we sold toilets. I said, ‘like, toilet seats?’

‘He said, ‘No, like actual toilets.’

‘So I said, “Sorry, we just sell the seats and replacement parts., no porcelain.”

‘He got all huffy and said, “Jesus, what is this place? Walmart??”

‘I paused for a moment and said, “Yes sir, it is.”

‘Silence for a long moment. Then he said in a little voice, “This isn’t Home Depot?”

‘”No sir, you called Walmart.”

‘”Oh shit, I am so sorry!” And he hung up. I laughed my ass off.’

‘Work in radio. Got a call on the contest line one time.

“Yeah, I need a hotel room,” said the caller.

“OK. How would you like me to help you?”

“Well…book me one!”

“You’re aware you called a radio station’s contest line, right?”

“Yeah. Don’t you book hotel rooms for rock stars when they do a show in town? Book me one!”

‘I work for a CPA office that is in an office park with a couple doctors offices.

‘One day a guy came in only speaking Spanish, so I grabbed my Spanish speaking colleague to translate. He talked to the guy in the lobby for a few minutes, then the guy left and my coworker came back and asked if that was a joke or we put someone up to that.

‘Apparently the guy explained that his testicles were extremely swollen and painful, he was looking for one of the doctors offices and just walked into the first building in the complex. I’m, “Sir, we do taxes here, not testicles.”

‘A man come into my tattoo shop once and asked for a massage with a happy ending. Was like “err this is a tattoo studio not a massage palour” and he just stood there like “yeah? I know” as if tattooists are synonymous with sexual masseuse.’
