This one just makes me laugh everytime I see it. How you can confuse a skunk and a cat is beyond me. :D

This will always be my favorite, because a. it fantastic and I can only hope that something like this will happen to me at work and b. some friends and I are turning it into a short film. We're extending it to include one of my friends in his Bionic Man costume leading an epic battle scene.

A classic. I wish more managers were like this.

http://notalwaysright.com/youve-got-the-wrongest-number/2538

This one is just so _awkward_. I laughed so hard the first time I read it!

http://notalwaysright.com/your-one-stop-shop-for-addictive-substances/1920

Awesome. Just the thought of someone being heckled for crack in a video game store is too good a picture.

I love this... I work at a credit union and talk to stupid people like this ALL the time...

http://notalwaysright.com/oh-crystal-meth/229

first time I read this I was working, graveyards in a call center, and I couldn't stop laughing for the rest of the night, nor could anyone else who I showed it to.

http://notalwaysright.com/textual-discrimination/2159

This one is my favorite. I just started working at a library, and something exactly like this happened. It was all I could do to keep myself from laughing at the similarities. After it happened, I pulled up the link and showed my coworkers that, and they enjoyed it.

Very untypical and hilarious thing to happen in a shop. Sounds like the sort of thing you see on a tv show :P

I have so many favorites! This one made me laugh out loud:
http://notalwaysright.com/now-made-with-real-vegetarians/2373

I thing this is pretty darn funny... http://notalwaysright.com/de-ting-de-ting/308 because I submitted it ( I can prove it!). It's so awesome you even used it in your cafepress stores! Also it looks like it made it into the book (Amazon says it's on page 171) I think I should get a free copy for helping contribute to the book :) Love the site. And will still buy the book if I don't win.

I love http://notalwaysright.com/small-fish-in-a-small-pond/2083 - "Small Fish In A Small Pond." Brilliant comeback from the airline hostess to put a self-important prat in his place.

http://notalwaysright.com/factual-innuendos/2558

Innuendos are the best. Period.

http://notalwaysright.com/welcome-to-retail-part-2/1199

This seems like a situation that happened to me on my first day working at a grocery store.

http://notalwaysright.com/just-stick-it-where-the-sun-dont-shine/521

I work in a library and we had a man who basically did this same thing. He couldn't figure out why he wasn't on the internet. He had pushed his library card into the 3.5" floppy drive to "enter his number". Took us forever to get it back out again.

Love this site btw!

http://notalwaysright.com/on-the-straight-and-narrow-minded/2389

I just about died laughing when I read this one. I've had to deal with unwanted male attention before, but I've never had someone not accept the 'I'm gay' defense - and the waitress was hilarious!

http://notalwaysright.com/our-eq-just-ate-your-iq/1680

Although I could easily pick any of the hundreds of rude or arrogant customers shooting themselves in the foot with flair and pomp, I choose this story as my current favorite. I am employed in a Christian retail store where we also have a number of "special needs" customers, so I am familiar with the type of persons this clerk is serving. The impatience of the third-party customer is utterly ridiculous, especially when juxtaposed with the clerk's personable attitude. The clerk gets kudos for knowing his customers, and how to communicate with them. I wish all sales clerks (myself included) knew how to best serve each customer. This story is my favorite because the customer received exactly what s/he asked for, plus what they needed: "A hamburger, and a hamburger, and a hamburger, and a hamburger," and then a high five. Best customer service ever.

The conspiracies... They're everywhere! YOU CAN NEVER ESCAPE.

Ah, conspiracy theorists. They provide so much amusement...

http://notalwaysright.com/be-scared-of-customers-you-will/2802

Love this one, because you have the crazy customer in there with the crazy managers who don't understand. We all remember being that under-appreciated by customers and supervisors alike!

http://notalwaysright.com/extramarital-appliances/2431

I love this one because I used to work at Walmart in Electronics and everyone expected their stuff to do EVERYTHING. Ridiculous, it's not Artificial Intelligence!

http://notalwaysright.com/someones-about-to-get-smacked-to-the-future/1698

This one is one of my favorites. I could never choose just one, but this one makes me practically cry every time I read it. I find it funny because it doesn't end like most, instead of demanding it's not her fault, or blaming the store/employees, this woman realizes her husband sent her on a wild goose chase, and is ready to beat him for it. It's funny not only that she fell for it, but also because of how she responds to the realization.

http://notalwaysright.com/three-dimensions-is-two-too-many/2964

I never really understood how some people could be so oblivious... It makes me smile knowing that there are people out there a lot dumber than me out there :)

http://notalwaysright.com/pinheaded-2/1877

XD This one is my favourite. I practically cried with laughter. I think what made it so funny was how, in the end, the jackass got exactly what he deserved:

"(I found out later that the member was kicked out of the country club, and his $50,000 initiation fee as well as his $15,000 yearly dues were not refunded.)"

AWESOME.

http://notalwaysright.com/cant-take-a-hint-or-a-leak/2541

Because that sounds like something someone in my family would do.

http://notalwaysright.com/a-heady-proposition/1226

I love how people assume computers are magical and can do anything. But what's even better is he actually did it!

http://notalwaysright.com/klingon-to-the-hope-of-a-ticket/2460

The Star trek reference cracks me up! :)

http://notalwaysright.com/bird-brained-part-4/2444

I love this one. Mostly because of the very calm "Penguins can't fly, sir." And of course "Ostriches are birds?!"

http://notalwaysright.com/hulk-smash-bagels/1550

this one is just one of my many favorites....never before would i have thought bagels could be so distressing and ruin a father-son relationship....now i know the destructive power these ring shaped rolls possess
