One of my favorites is the time a customer tried to convince me that Buy One Get One Free meant that she just got that one item free and did not have to pay for anything.
The only proper answer to the question is: “There’s only one proper answer to that question.” They will say, “What is it?” You say, “That was it.” You may have to repeat it before some bosses get the point
Different but the same: I have a Great Dane, and I get similar statements and people thinking they are so clever. He must eat like a horse! Do you need a backhoe to pick up his…, etc, etc…
There was a little girl who came in to my dad’s store several times a week. She was on the spectrum before the spectrum had been defined. She loved that gag and demonstrated her love for it often. Unlike most of the annoying people she wasn’t responsible for her behavior. Poor kid was like a space alien.
I had a coworker who fell asleep on his desk every day. My dept. head didn’t seem to care. Mentioned it to another dept. head who knew I was doing over 90% of the work (there were 3 of us in the dept), he went over and slammed his fist on the desk right next to the guy’s head. The dude never slept at the desk again, quit about 4 weeks later.
I use to work for Father and Son’s shoe store (a division of Endicott Johnson). People asked me FREQUENTLY if I was the father or the son. I would stump them by saying “It depends on whether you ask my mom or my kids.” No one ever had a comeback to that one.

Next they’ll tell you that “original” joke: “There was no price tag on it, that means it’s free, right?”

What’s bad is when your boss walks around saying it. Time to look for another job…

Such a clever joke. And not insulting at all.

Yes I have heard that joke, but only about 5 times a day, every day for the last 40 plus years, and it wasn’t funny or cute the 1st time I heard it

Working hard? Hardly! I’m auditioning for the role of ‘Employee of the Month’… in a parallel universe.
