There were some really crazy people at work today.
One woman wanted to know the burial place of some actress that was once married to a millionaire. I am not sure why that is so critical to her life, but it was very important to her! She then proceeded to print about a million things while our printer was being stupid and then asked me to keep track of her printouts so that she could write a check when she was finished. After printing each job she would, even so "kindly" ask me if I had written it down. Like I was the idiot that couldn't keep track of what was being printed!
Another gentleman came up to the desk twice to ask if he hadn't made any printouts. How was I supposed to know if he didn't print, if there was no evidence either way. I couldn't exactly ask him what he didn't print!
And the craziest of all... a guy was sitting in one of the chairs by the big stained glass window. He was talking to himself and making motions with his hands. Then he got up, looked at his chair and started chuckling to himself. He then asked me to log him onto the computers and told me that if something didn't work I would need to log him onto another computer. "Just to be sure that I can do what I want to do".
Some days these crazy people really try my patience. And today was one of those days!

I hate crazy people at work too, but they sure make good stories.
i think i'm one step away from being one of those crazy people.
because all i want to know is if that first lady was looking for information on howard hughes and joan crawford.
you know, joan crawford was pretty crazy too.
so was howard hughes.
it was actually about jean peters who WAS married to howard hughes!
And she came back AGAIN today! However our internet was down all day, so she just wanted to look at special collections books all day instead!
You guys have a special collections too?
Exactly Kat. Spoken like a true retail worker. But, whenever I do something stupid in a store, I hit myself in the head and wonder if when I leave the store, the employees start talking about it and tell their friends too...doh!
