I don't know if this has been posted before but in the theme of textsfromlastnight and photobomb, I present
notalwaysrightthis one was a particular favourite
(I’m working the night shift when suddenly a guy dressed in black with a mask over his head comes in. He pulls out a gun and comes heading my way. Without even thinking, I incapacitate him with a basic self-defense skill.)
Customer: “HOLY S***! What the h*** are you doing?”
Me: “Sir, you were about to hold me up!”
Customer: “What?”
Me: “You came into the store with a mask over your head and gun in hand.”
(At this point, I notice that the gun is a controller for a game. I let him go.)
Me: “I’m very sorry about what just happened, sir. So you wanted that fixed, right?”
Customer: “It’s… no big deal, can you fix it anyway?”
Me: “Not a problem, sir.”
(After checking the wiring and whatnot inside the gun, I find some faulty chipwork and fix it.)
Me: “Here you go, sir.”
Customer: “Thanks.” *pays up*
Me: “Just one thing, though.”
Customer: “Ah, yeah?”
Me: “What’s with the mask?”
Customer: “Sometimes, I like to pretend!” *giggles and walks out*
(I never worked the night shift again.)
