After several years of waiting tables, I'm finally out, but I miss the amazingly stupid things customers used to say and do. Let me know a few of your favorites! They NEVER cease to amaze me! :)

I used to work at McDonalds (only for a month, one of the worst jobs EVER) and I was constantly working the drive thru...well one old guy with messy hair and glasses pulled up and he had this fat gray hairy cat in his car...well when he pulled up he had the cat hanging out the window in his arms and moved the cats head around like a puppet and said in a silly voice "ONE McMOUSE PLEASE!!!" and then hunched his shoulders up and bursted out laughing.....
as I stared at him blankly.....

The kitchen tells all the servers that we are out of shrimp, and one girl asks, "Is that fried or grilled shrimp?"
When someone tells you there is a hair in their salad, and it looks suspiciously the same length and color as their hair, and not anything like the cook's hair.
When some random man comes in a tells you he is in a band, is going to play in your city tomorrow night, and proceeds to run up a huge tab at the bar. Meanwhile, you find out by calling the venue where this guy says he will be playing at that he is actually a fraud, some old drunk guy, and have to call the cops to get them to take him away. And he didn't have any money for the bill. Or a car. Just walked away. Weird.

I haven't been in the food industry for years but when I worked for McDonald's this always cracked me up:
"Uh, yea. I'll take a #1 with no onions, large, with a Coke. That's to go please." This was a DRIVE-THRU ORDER!
Duh! People never cease to amaze me. I know there's tons more out there even funnier but this one ranks high for me.

I was a bartender in a restaurant and had a confused waitress ask me what type of liquor to ring in for a "rum and coke". It would also crack me up when customers who were on diets would come in and order salads, thinking they were being good, but then they would add two cups of dressing to them and scarf down a loaf or two of bread and butter on the side.

I worked for Lone Star Steak House a few mos. ago.
I had one table where a wasp (the bug, not the white anglo saxon protestant) had decided to fly dangerously close to my customer's meals. The gentleman killed the wasp, then informed me that he was a lawyer, and he was going to sue. I went to the kitchen and got a small container for him to put the wasp in.

Oh where to begin??
The couple who asked for a patty melt without meat. (The owner got a bit ticked at me for that one!) Women who would change their baby's diaper on the dining room floor instead of using the restroom. People who felt the need to ask personal questions like "Have you lost weight?" or "Are you pregnant?" or "So why'd he divorce you?" There was one man who would always touch my leg right in front of his wife! None of the other waitresses wanted to wait on him so I had to. People who would say they'd like red wine and when I asked what kind of red they'd say chardonnay! People who would eat their whole meal and claim it was great and then when it came to pay up, they'd say it was horrible and they couldn't eat it! (Um, but you ate it all!?!) People who let their rugrats run up and down the restaurant while they have strawberry daiquiris and when I have to return them they're ticked off at ME, not their precious snowflake. Then they let them throw french fries all over the carpet and it gets squished in. The lady who wanted her filet "Well well well done!" and then gets ticked because it's taking too long and she said it was too small. (Duh, it's overcooked and shrank!)
Need I go on, I could for hours!
