Welcome to DC. This was started back in 2005 as a way to teach myself PHP while I was working as a sales assistant. Now that I'm a badly paid full time developer I don't really have enough time to work on these sites so I've switched to wordpress.
DC came about due to a discussion between Silent and myself, back when we were working together. I can testify though that no matter how far you remove yourself from retail you can always expect to deal with stupidity.
UHTMilk's Grievances
Tech Support Call
It’s been around for a while, but this is still a fantastic example of an incredibly arrogant and dumb customer.
How can you not understand?!?
There’s this one project at work that I continue to receive hassle about from the powers that be. I don’t know if this can be strictly considered dumb, I guess it’s more a carefully balanced mix of an egotistical disregard of others and conceited pride.

Retail Confessions
Anyone who has ever worked in retail can relate to this grievance. It’s the same stuff that they experience every day but no matter how many times it is repeated it still feels good to get it off your chest.

In spite of himself
I work at the moment at this database company who primarily deal with charity contracts. They get outsourced from the charities when they run campaigns too big for them to collect all the money. It’s then our job to bank it and enter all the information, fun no?
We all know how aggressive these charities can […]
So don’t you know where to put the video?
A customer brings a compact DVD box up to my colleague with the intent of buying it. I go out back to retrieve the DVD player to come back to find the customer asking my colleague whether it plays DVD’s and VHS videos. My colleague calmly explained that being a DVD player it only plays […]
This disc will not play and I hate you personally with a vengeance for it.
It was early in the morning and this event pretty much set the tome for the rest of the day. A gentleman approaches and begins to explain that he brought a double CD for Christmas. He then began to explain how the second CD wouldn’t work despite trying it in various CD players around his […]
Blinded by choice
As she approached she was grumbling loudly on the theme of how “absolutely ridiculous” something was. I could tell this was going to be a fun one.
“Don’t you keep any books?!” she barked at me. “Erm… We keep a couple in stock” I replied meekly raising my hands to try and illustrate the fact that […]
