To all people working with the public?

What is the one thing customers say over and over (and think they are sooo original) to you, that drives you nuts??

Mine was while working as a teller years ago, I would get the same comedian day after day! A customer (usually men), would come to my window and I'd say, "how can I help you" Their original reply, "I need some money, do you have any??? Ha-ha-ha-ha!

Do you have a story??

    I work at a hotel where we have to check id's when people pay with credit cards. Nine times out of ten, a customer will mention something about Big Brother and ask me if I need their fingerprint and social security number. It's a bit frustrating just because we're trying to decrease the chances of identity theft, but the guest never gets it.

    hahaha, oh god. Too many people say stuff like, after I or a coworker say "have a nice day" the person will reply with "I'll try" or "Don't tell me what to do!" jokingly of course, but still. Laaaame. I'm really glad I transferred to a place where I don't have to deal with the public anymore.
