Customer: “My internet seems to be out. Most of the lights on the modem are blinking. I tried unplugging it and plugging it back in. Then I started yelling at it, now I’m out of ideas.”
Me: “Have you tried a manual reset?”
Customer: “Again, I did the ‘unplug and wait three minutes before plugging it back in’ thing.”
Me: “Yes, but there is a manual on/off button on the back of the router.”
Customer: *silence* “OH MY GOD! Well…let it be known that I acknowledge my own stupidity and I hope this experience hasn’t damaged your faith in humanity too severely.”
Me: “No problem sir. I’m glad we could get it resolved and I hope you have a nice day.”
Customer: “Well, I’m brain dead…” *hangs up*

I’ve found this thing:
(I’m putting a sale sign above a cooler containing shrimp when a customer approaches me.)
Customer: “Jumbo shrimp? That’s funny.”
Me: “Yeah it’s kind of an oxymoron, huh?”
Customer: “What the h*** did you just call me?”
Me: “An oxymoron is an English term, sir.”
Customer: “I don’t care if it’s a French term! Nobody insults me and gets away with it!”
(The customer suddenly grabs me and puts me into a tackle. He held me in it for a good 30 seconds before coworkers arrived to help!)
