Idle Threats
Of all the creatures on this planet, humans remain the weirdest; as anther weirdo proved last week again.A nearby electrical shop is closing down and they had a sale last week. Everything had to go by Saturday and, as a result, they have marked down their goods substantially. I went around on Thursday to see what spares I can pick up for a bargain.
While talking to one of the salesmen, a man came walking in; carrying two fancy light fittings. “I want to return this. I bought it here yesterday”, he said to the cashier. She explained that it cannot be done because it is a closing down sale.
“Bullshit”, he said, “I have the slip here. You people should have signs up if you don’t take returns.”
The cashier pointed it out to him that there were signs all over; one at each entrance, one at each pay point and three large signs suspended from the ceiling. “And”, she said, “it is printed on your slip.” And indeed, the signs were large and prominent.
“Look”, he replied angrily, “I paid a lot for this stuff and I don’t want it anymore. Why didn’t you point it out to me?” The poor girl explained to him once more that she cannot help him. By this time everybody in the shop were watching.
“You should put up better signs! How the f*ck do you expect people to see it!” he yelled as he stormed out the shop. “I’ll never buy from you again!” he shouted as he went out the door.
The salesman looked at me with an amused smile. “That’s for certain,” he said, “We’re closing on Saturday.”
And a great week coming for all of you.

(PS. I dont want the "yes" answer only and that's why I asked another question..
As long as there are humans on this planet, there will always be some weirdos and idiots.
It takes all sorts.
That's not weird, that's downright rude!
At least there's a happy ending, him leaving with egg on his face
Hmm, I guess it takes all sorts of people to make this world turn.
True, absolutely rude. The weirdness is that he thought he was in the right and that he was being done short by the shop.
An interesting one, Poor unlucky guy,
There lots of idiots like him who "walk among us"!
The last one I went to, I ended up buying 7 pair of shoes
I don't have much sympathy with him. He was downright rude.
I'm sure he saw the signs. He probably bought the stuff like on the spur of the moment and regretted it later.
And no handbags?
Well, I can tell you that I was tempted to do it. If I worked there, I certainly would have done so. After all, what's there to lose?
