Alllrighty!...
I used to work as a "salesman/service tech/phone support/anything else my boss could think of" for a small mom & pop computer store.
One particular Saturday, I was in the back room building some new PC's, when two of my co-workers came barreling into the area I was doubled over laughing )and falling over each other in the process).
They could barely talk, but they managed to gesture that I should go out front by frantically pointing towards the door.
Soo.. naievely I went out the door and I instantly saw why they were in pain.
This woman had come into the store, but apparently didn't bring all her nuts and bolts with her when she left home. She had neatly torn a tissue in two and stuck them in her ears. Mind you, she didn't STUFF them into her ears, but she merely placed them in such a way that she had two tissue triangles sticking out of her ears.
I quickly ran back and laughed my ass off too.
A few days later, I relayed this story to a good friend of mine who used to work for an OfficeMax in the area. Apparently this woman did this same stunt there, except my friend had the balls to ask her why she was doing such a ridiculous stunt.
From what he told me, that was her way of saying that she didn't like the music you were playing in the store (we used to play hard rock). She apparently only liked Indian Tribal music, and had nothing but contempt for ANYTHING else.
Oh yeah.. where are my boys in the white jackets when I need them???
