    Pretty much every complaint in the IT Industry is a ridiculous complaint.

    Meat Loaf complaining Gary Busey stole his paints was pretty ridiculous.

    "Excuse me, why did you give that table a cooler for their wine, but not us?"

    "Em... Cos you're drinking red wine."

    I occasionally will treat myself and the significant other to a meal in a Michelin starred restaurant.

    Every so often you'll see a people there who don't quite fit in. The ill-fitting jacket, the wide-eyed looking at the prices on the wine menu and the overall lack of table etiquette.

    Then they'll complain about the portion sizes, or try and ask for the dish 'without onions' or I geniunely heard one man ask in a well-known Dublin Michelin star if he could get a portion of chips as he was still starving :o

    Is it bad to ask for no onions? Never been to a fancy restaurant - so I'm actually curious.

    That I was too rough with a customer.....














    Im a hairdresser...get your minds out of the gutter!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,559 ✭✭✭cruais


    Woman: ill have a full irish please.
    Me: im sorry but due to a catering shortage this morning, and previous customer demand, the breakfast is not available. However we do have everything else on the menu.

    Woman: what?!? That is disgraceful. 
    Me: I do apologise.

    Woman: well, what DO you have then?!?
    Me: as I explained, I have everything on the menu except for the full irish.

    Woman: give me a sandwich. Actually are they pre made?
    Me: yes.

    Woman: well I have allergies. I want cambridge brown bread.
    Me: well unfortunately they are already pre made. May I ask what your allergy is without being too personal?

    Woman: well its not really an allergy per se, its just I dont like any other bread.
    Me: ok. Well will I give you a minute or two to browse again?

    Woman: just give me a sandwich.
    Me: no problem. Here you are.

    Woman: you know you are discriminating against me?
    Me: im sorry?!?

    Woman: I said you are discriminating against me!
    Me: im very sorry but I refuse to accept that I am discriminating against you. We simply do not have you're first choice. As I already explained, we do have everything else so I can offer you an alternative. 

    Woman: well then you will give me this tea and sandwich for free.
    Me: im afraid I cannot do that. I cannot give out anything complimentary. 

    Woman: sure who are you! Go get me someone higher than you. Get me you're boss immediately. 
    Me: no problem

    I go and quickly explain the situation to my boss and she heads over to the lady.

    Woman: this young woman is.discriminating against me. She is refusing to give me a full irish breakfast. 
    Boss: im sure she has explained the situation. We do apologise but we can offer an alternative. 

    Woman: well im refusing to pay. 
    ( at this point she opens the packaging of thw sandwich)
    Boss: ok. However I cannot give anything complimentary.

    Woman: well I have opened the sandwich now so what are you going to do about it!
    Boss: €7.00 please.

    Woman: ( throwing the opened sandwich at my boss)
    Take your lousy sandwich. You're both a disgrace. You're company is a disgrace. I will be going to the highest about this as you are discriminating against me. Discrimination!

    Boss: that is a very serious allegation there.

    Woman: ill never come here again.
    Boss: thats perfectly fine.

    Woman jumps up and storms out

    For some reason that post reminds me of the children's story 'The three billy goats gruff'. Can't for the life of me think why.......

    Heard a guy in the post office two weeks ago complaining to his friend that his ferret muzzle didn't work.

    " it bit me when I put it down my trousers, so I'm bringing back the muzzle later."

    If you had upper class breeding you'd know about the onions.

    Im assuming he got sick of dating Rosie palm and her five sisters and decided to spice things up and let the feret have a gander.

    I'm thanking this purely because how masterfully it'll wind people up to no end :pac:


    Having worked in retail and customer service, too many to mention, one of the best ones ever was a woman who wanted to make a formal complaint that she couldnt send a group text because of lack of coverage in her area, the purpose of the text? to organise a protest against a phone mast being put up in her town..to improve the coverage. I was trying to explain the irony of her complaint and it was lost on her. I wasn't even working in the job that long, I wish I could say she was one of the stupider people I dealt with but there were far worse.

    My mental health and overall sanity is so much better off now I don't work with the public anymore, thank fuck. People would actually rot you.

    Thats the most ridiculous complaint I've heard - complaining about someone asking for no onions

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
