Working with people can be stressful. Even one difficult client can ruin your day, and some are unforgettable.
I work at a fitness club. A client once misunderstood instructions and ate dry oats for three days, then complained of stomach pain.
At our roadside café, two men left a huge tip. Later, they became regulars because they heard we only use fresh food.
A rich client lost her earrings at the salon. When I found them, she refused to take them back, saying they were dirty, and gave them to me instead.
A customer tried to fix his laptop himself, broke it, and blamed me.
We once operated on a dog whose owners slept in our clinic hallway. Sadly, the dog didn’t make it, but their gratitude stayed with us.
At the supermarket, I caught a falling egg. The customer shouted, “Harry Potter caught the golden snitch!” and made my day.
In a library, a woman was shocked she had to return borrowed books.
People are strange — and working with them is never boring.
