Employee: googles locksmith “yeah here’s the phone numbers of every one in town.”
Boomer: “thanks there’s now conceivable way I could have done this myself.”
This is like half the calls we get.

One of my favorite work chores was going to the big box hardware store in full work kit (hi viz vest, industrial radio, random pens and knives and shit, etc) and telling white people I don’t work there.
Yes, for some reason the minorities were either already working there or didn’t ask where their nail was while literally staring at a wall of nails.
Anyway it was incredible how some people, even the young ones, just cannot change their mind that I did not work there. The young ones were cool and laughed it off (while still assuming I worked there) and the old ones just went into this weird mental feedback loop.
I once went into the True Value I used to work at to get something and some lady started asking me questions and I informed her I didn’t work there (anymore). She demanded to talk to my manager and I was like “what manager”. Some other employer came over and told her I indeed was no longer and employee but she kept demanding to speak to a manager anyway. I just started walking away and she began yelling at me.
What makes people like this? Like, genuinely? It would never even occur to me to behave like she was behaving.
