My standard answer had become 'Tortoises sink' until I saw one on youtube swimming dammit!

I had a woman on the 'phone today- conversation went something like this...

Woman- Can I put the catfish from my Cold Water Tank into my pond?
Me- What type of catfish is it?
Woman- A catfish.
Me- Ok, how big is it and what does it do?
Woman- It's about 11 inches long and sucks on the glass.
Me- It's a Plec. It's from the Amazon. It won't survive outdoors in Britain.

...I hung up.

I seriously don't know how long I can keep on being polite and courteous to these people. Something snapped in me after the "pig fish" conversation, I swear.

Other questions like:

'is that one of them Boa Pythons?' AAAAARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!

'Could that kill me?' Right now I could only dream of that happening

'Is that one of the spiders from Arachnophobia?' NO! My tarantulas do not giggle, although they seem to be smirking at you now!

'Do you sell Garden Tortoises?' Please F*@$ off now!

I wish work was still as simple and amusing as cleaning a few fishtanks and laughing at stupid customers all day while i act all high and mighty with my vast and unceasing knowledge of all that is fishy. Oh for the good old days........

I agree, this is a quality thread

I went to a pet shop the other day and a bunch of Chavs were walking round and one of them kept reading the signs and one said Royal Pythons and read out loud saying "Royal phantoms in this one" then said "do they turn into ghosts?"
He then saw a hatchling corn and said" a corn snake! They're so dangerous they are going to make them illegal, did you know thousands of people get killed by them each year, my Friends auntie got eaten by one"

He walked around the shop for ages with things like can i see that cobra (While pointing at a rainbow boa) and can i see that bored dragon (His bad reading of bearded dragon) fly and roast his food (He said this while pointing at the birds).

The thickness of some people is unbeleivable.
We should make an RFUK calander of stupid customers

I concur! Unfortunately they would probably consider it good street rep!

"YEH BLOOD! I GOT SHOT! I IS WELL GANGSTA!"

Oh fuck off and die...


Chavs = Rednecks of Britain.
