    We were talking on break again only this time about how kangaroos aren't really a cool animal over in Australia. That they are more of a nuisance, like how we have rabbits running wild around here. Roger says, "I've always wanted to eat a kangaroo."

    A guy was talking about his 4 year old's birthday. I asked if he was going to picking up a bunch of those pointy party hats for everybody. He said yes. Ted then said, "Whenever I see a bunch of people wearing party hats I just know something is bound to go wrong."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    We had a stack of boxes setting by an outside door. My supervisor saw it and said, "Get those away from the door, it's raining out. Cardboard is made from corn starch and it  will melt if you get it wet."

    One day, I watched a man struggle while walking in his shoes for 7 hours of his shift before he realized that both of his shoes were tied on the wrong feet.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    A supervisor tells us to lay out 14 square feet of material. Lacking room to lay it out; we proceed to lay it out in groups, 4 square feet, 4 square feet, and 6 square feet. When we are finished we get the supervisor for his approval before packing it. He tells us we are not done. We tell him that we are. After a little bit of back and forth arguing, the supervisor exclaims that we are not done and shout s out that "4+4+6=8!"

    We have product code numbers for displays. Each product on each format gets it's own 3-5 digit number. Example the regular format is 1-1025, the large format of the same product is 2-1025. One day we get a third format for all of the product. The new code sheet showed letters like P-1025. When I asked the supervisor why we were adding letters to all of the code she replied, "We don't want to run out of numbers."

    Some lady over the phone asks, "How much is the $5 Large?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    After another rather soul crushing meeting a group of us were grabbing some ear plugs before heading back to work. To lighten up the spirits a bit after the fisting fest, I say, "Well, at least none of us have cancer that we know about." To which Ted replied rather a-matter-of-factly, "Aw, everyone's got cancer."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    A lady's order comes out to $12.06. She already has a $5 and a $10 bill lying on the counter. She looks down and starts digging through her purse and says, "I think I have the 6 cents." To which I quickly reply, "I thought I had that too, turns out I was just a really lucky guesser."
She just stopped digging and stared at my like I was nuts.

    While on break one day the topic of really dumb people came into conversation. Paraphrasing George Carlin; I said, "You gotta remember how stupid the average person is... Now Keep in mind that most people are dumber than that!" Not even a split second after that; Brandt slams him fist down onto the table in a fit of excitement and discovery. In the midst of this with a smile on his face and 3 quarters to the top of his lungs he exclaims with confidence as though he solved the riddle, "Half!"

    A discussion was going on about this guy from Minnesota who was visiting family in Wisconsin for Thanksgiving. After he left from his visit, he stopped off at a local department store and caught a 15 year old girl shop lifting. He presented himself as security for the department store and led her into one of the changing rooms where he then proceeded to search the girl. He then, eventually began fondling and otherwise inappropriately touching/lightly molesting the poor girl. They eventually caught the bastard using the security cameras and testimony/eyewitnesses.     We began talking about how fucked up it would be to see your creepy uncle Barrie getting busted for something like that. Missing the point altogether my supervisor, Brandt then says, "Well... She was stealing though." Without skipping a beat I say in disgust, "I don't think that'll hold up in court, Brandt."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    A whole bunch of us are sitting in the break room discussing a number of the memorable past employees that we had worked with. The discussion had turned one individual named (we'll call him "Hank") One fella didn't know that Hank was married, and the discussion turned to these guys' wives. Are they nice, have you met them, are they attractive, etc. Bill mentions that Hank's wife is a black woman (Hank is white, most of the people employed there are white) Ted asks, "Wait... Hank's wife is black? I thought he was religious."

    A customer calls up and tells me that they have a coupon that expires on the day that they are calling me and wants to know if they can use it tomorrow.
