Sketches of real idiotic/asshole customers done by an artist/employee at a comic book shop. Dialogue should sound very familiar.

Epic find. The one about walking dead was Epic. Fuck it, the whole damn thing is Epic.

Edit: I'm guessing this shop is in Mass. since everyone is saying Spida Man

Edit 2: Check that, it is in Mass from the hats, shirts.

Good on him for not obscuring their names or likenesses. Screw the innocent. They had it coming.

Oh dear god if I wasn't bound by a non disclosure agreement, I have acres of stories, however that works.

Rather my feeling (unless my sarcasm detector is off.) All of us have worked customer service and we all have stories like these, but I do think its in bad taste to use their faces, even cartoon versions. If I was his customer and I came upon this site, I can't say I'd be happy.

That said, they're hilarious. Would be better in anecdote form to avoid pissed off people and lawsuits though.

I have a new-found respect towards Comic book shop owners and similar: One can take so much insanity/stupidity in a single day without cracking up.

Then again, I did retail for a while, so I can relate on the pain.

I wonder how many people realize that, just as they've dealt with these stupid customers, they've also at times been these stupid customers.

Still, most of those are funny. Sadly, I think I agree with some of those statements.

Thing is, a small percentage of people would later think thoroughly and realize how much of a dumbass/ass he was at the time being.

And then we have people who are either blissfully ignorant, a high sense of self-entitlement, or just plain stupid.

One of the fat old graybeard grognards in the gamestore I frequent once took his shirt off to show off (not sure why) some recent surgery handiwork, not only was the sight horrifying, but oh dear god the smell! Sad

Describe said smell. Actually, don't. Please.

"And while we're on the subject, everyone needs to stop using the word EPIC in place of the word GOOD. "

I liked that one. "Epic" has become the go-to nerd word lately and it's getting very, very old. People have even started to use it casually now which is just wrong.

Nerds and dorks the world over: Please stop saying "epic".

Dorks are using it plenty sure, but I would argue that I hear just as many normal people overusing the word "Epic" and it's infuriating. Mostly women and men ages 16-30 describing a boys/girls pants, night of drinking, mediocre action movie, etc..

I'm pretty sure that misue of "epic" originated with surfers and other drug-addled morons. It's completely bogus, dudes.

Also I'd like to request that stoners stop ending every sentence with the word man.

Posted: Nov 11 2010 04:31 pm

And bring back the word "bogus".

Isn't the word 'man' also used by hippies?

Well yeah, basically if you're not Tommy Chong then fucking knock it off is what I'm saying.

I wonder what store it is. Comically Speaking, maybe?

It would be really funny if it was Harrison's, because while they attract some of the most moronic customers around, their employees are also giant social retards who have no business criticizing others.

Dude, I call people "man" all the time. I call them "dudes", too. Yet I've never done any drugs in my life. I guess I'm a half-assed hippie/stoner.

It actually helps(?) if you're a 90's kid as well.

I have no problem with dude, but capping every sentence with a long drawn out maaan just irks me.
