Today, I was working retail when a group of older gentlemen came in looking for a good sound system. I showed them a top-range system and gushed about it in detail, trying to close the sale. One of them snorted and said, "See Dave, girls like her are the reason ball gags were invented." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was trying sell a customer a top-of-the-line surround sound system. Apparently he was aware that I work on commission, as he threatened to buy the system elsewhere unless I sang Rebecca Black's "Friday" in front of the whole store. Goodbye, self-respect. FML
Today, a customer came into the music shop I work in to look at guitars. After calling the customer "Dude," and "Man," numerous times, they stalked off suddenly. When I asked if everything was okay, they responded with, "I'm female, you asshole!" FML
Today, I was at the store when I saw two extremely hot girls. I walked into their aisle and they looked at me and smiled. I stopped and pretended to look at something so I could listen to what they were saying. They started laughing and walked away. It turned out I was reading a box of tampons. FML
Today, while out shopping, I could hear what sounded like two grown men talking about me, and they were being pretty gross. I turned around to scold them and it turned out being a dad and his 13-year-old son. He said he was, "teaching a son to be a man", and that my ass was "grounds for discussion." FML
Today, as I worked as a cashier, two girls came up laughing. I smiled as I rang them up, asking what had made them laugh so hard. One looked me dead in the face and said, "You." They then both walked away, laughing. FML
Today, I was at the store buying some feminine products. At the cash register, the clerk said to me "Dude, you know those are for girls right?" I am a 30 year old woman. FML
Today, I meant to express to my friends that I was enamored with a young saleswoman I had encountered at a store. I wanted to tell them that she was quite petite and that I am, in general, attracted to petite women. Instead I said, "You know? I like little girls." FML
Today, I went into a music store to look into getting a new guitar. I picked up one that I was interested in and tried it out quietly. A sales representative approached me and asked me to "stop the noise and leave the guitars for serious customers." I've been playing for almost ten years. FML
Today, I went downtown with my friends. A group of guys came up to us and started hitting on everyone except me. Then one of them said, "Do you girls hang out with her to make yourselves look better?" FML
Today, I was at a gas station when the cash register made a sound effect similar to one from Sonic the Hedgehog, and I pointed this out. The cashier then saw fit to go on a rant about how I need to stop focusing on video games, and get a life and a girlfriend. FML

Think about it from the customers' perspective. They came in to look at something and you wouldn't shut up. Did you even ask them what they were looking for or interested in seeing? They probably were trying not to be rude, but got sick of you droning on and on and stopped caring.

Really? You don't think they were trying to be rude? Even if the OP was droning on too long, how could you possibly think that it's appropriate to make that ball gag comment? The customers were jerks and the OP should have kicked them out of the store.

Or… it could just be easier go Google something instead of having to put up with anyone else's condescending overtones. Besides, you get pictures! :)

Those who don't want to know about the details of a good sound system don't deserve one.

Oh, wow. Did you show them your best way out the door?

Such an asshole. And you would think the older they are, the more mature they are. Smdh

Lot's of options’ in here, but I did not see the questions everybody is dying to know. Did you take them up on the offer?

Did you go "See Dave, guys like him are the reason condoms were invented"?

Part of the reason retail is horrible is that you have customers like that who think they can get away with saying crap. Of course they often do, which is why it's always nice to have at least one manager who is equally an ass and actually tells rude people to get the hell out. I am sorry you had to deal with that, OP.

Oh how rude. Obviously those guys wanted to listen TO THE SOUND SYSTEM rather than you blabbering on about the sound system. What nerve!
