Today someone phoned my Mum to ask about the '7ft long chicken you've got for sale'
The Bargain Pages had left the word 'run' out of the advert. The woman on the phone genuinely wanted to know about this giant chicken we apparently have

Lady at work a few weeks ago said she loved getting wet - I work in an aquatics and reptiles shop. Same lady also mentioned whilst in a talk about DIY that 'She loved screwing things'.

Yeah, colourful folks in my shop.

"young man (no one calls me that anymore) do you have fat balls"
i nearly died and a few moments later she nearly did to

lol, similar to that a woman once walked into our pet store and asked the manager "I'd like to talk to you about your balls."
He smiled and said "I'm not going to lower the tone here so do you mean tennis or rubber?"
She went bright red!

Also we sold small red crabs for fish tanks. People would come in all the time saying "Do you have crabs?" haha.

right i got a few which was said by one of my old friends:

Him: Whats that?
Me: O Its My Chinese Water Dragon
Him: Where does he come from???

then i had

Him: Why are you putting a fish tank in his viv? they dont like water!
Me: Ummm Ill repeat the name WATER DRAGON!!!

Then He told me that my other mate was looking after her emerald wrong because she was misting the cage and apparently they dont need humidity.....So i reply THEY COME FROM THE RAINFOREST!!! where funnily enough it rains...

Bearded dragons dont like hot temps they prefer it cold

His gf said to me "wont that bit of drift wood cut your beardies stomach up?" i sigh and walk off.

Her" Why do you need a UV tube for your beardies"
Me: " to prevent MBD and calcium dissficiencies its the way they get their calcium
Her: "why dont you give her a bowl of milk"

I walk off.....

She then asked did it hurt when biten by your beardie?

The best by this person who says he has done level 3 Animal care course "all snakes only have 2 fangs they dont actually have any teeth"
needless to say he never looked after my reptiles!!

thats just some i can think of from top of head... lol
