I was at EB just browsing, when a women comes up and asks "Do you have Sockem II?" Me and the employees were doing our best not to laugh. Once she got Sockem II she left and we started dying laughing.

Dipshit EB employees making fun of thier customers? NOOOO!!!!!!!
Not funny, but it can be kind of annoying. My parents, especially my dad, does this a lot. And I'm not talking about video games, I'm talking about anything in general. I know my parents are getting older and maybe that's part of the problem, but it shouldn't be too hard to read a name properly once in awhile.

Oh, I laughed because I thought she was looking for a game based on Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots.
You guys shouldn't have clarified that for me, because I honestly almost laughed to the point of tears.

Oh yeah I got a better one. I was at my EB today hanging out with my friends that work there, and this kid comes in and asks if they are hiring. Now this kid is 14 years old, and u have to be 18 to work for EB. So here is the exact conversation:
<kid> Hey are you guys hiring?
<mgr> you have to be 18 to work here
<kid> Oh, i am 18. Spiritually that is!
<mgr> ummm k
I looked at him, and he looked at me, and man we just started laughing in this kids face. I actaully told the kid that was best line ever. Oh man it was funny
This is why the English language sucks.
SOCOM. Both of the O's are written exactly the same but pronounced differently.
Laughter. L-A-U-G-H-T-E-R. In the perfect world it'd be spelled "lafter" but it isn't. And then there's "Manslaughter." And it isn't "Man's Laughter".

I was working a few weeks ago, and this kid (about 19-20 years old) was browsing the X-Box section asking me about games, and says to me, "How about theff, did you hear anything good about it? I heard it was pretty cool." Having never heard of the game, I became interested and walked over to the kid. He was holding the box to Thief: Deadly Shadows. I didn't correct him because it would've been too awkward. Part of me wanted to call the guy a moron, but I just felt bad for the guy and gave him a whole bunch of free promotional crap before he left.

Hmmm...not very funny, but I remember when Mortal Kombat Trilogy was released and I had 2 outta 5 customers asking if Mortal Kombat Technologies was available for sale.

Honestly, that's not bad at all. I used to work at EB, and IÕve heard MUCH MUCH worse.
Like "When is Mario coming to the PS2?" or "what's new about this years Madden?"
The absolute dumbest customer I ever got, was this one kid (around 17, and obviously played games) who came in and wanted to trade in some sports game. The game was going to get him $17, and he asked if he could look around and see if there was something he wanted. I told him yes. After looking for about 15 minutes, he comes up to the counter and says he couldn't find anything he wanted. So I asked if he wanted to trade it in for store credit. He asked how long it would last for, and I said "indefinitely". So, he agrees, and I ring up the game, and hand him the card....
Me: "Ok, here's your credit. You've got $17 on the card. Have a nice day"
*I then take the game off the counter and put it behind the counter*
*He continues to stand there, looking at me*
Me: "Um, is there something else you wanted?"
Him: "Yes, I need my game back."
Me: "Wait....what?"
Him: "My game, I need it so I can leave"
Me: "Bro, you traded it in for store credit. Don't you remember?"
Him: "Ah no man, I want my game back, forget the credit then"
*I stare at him blankly, not believing that someone could be this completely stupid*
Me: "Come'on, are you serious?"
Him: "Yeah, I want my game"
Me: "So wait a minute....you thought we were just gonna give you money.....FOR FREE...simply because you happened to own A game?" You're kidding me, right?"
Him: "You didn't explain it well"
Me: "WHAT'S TO EXPLAIN!? You give us a game, we give you store credit. It ain't rocket science."
I then proceed to take the card back, and void the purchase, all the while heckling him, causing the other customers to laugh at his stupidity. What a freakin dumbass.

My big beef is when people come in with acronyms that they assume everyone's been using. Homam (pronounced, 'hoe-mamm' -- heroes of might and magic), thug (actually pronounced like the word 'thug'), and 'pgr' are the biggest offenders. I actually had another customer ask for "Pee-oh-pee, tee-sott"...guess what he was after, and tell me you wouldn't smack him too.
My even bigger beef is when retards ask for Final Fantasy "Ex" or "Ex-two". It's X. You can't have an opinion about this. It's just wrong if you say "Ex". It's ten, end of discussion. I refuse to get it for them until they agree when I reply, "you mean FF ten?" I literally also had someone ask just yesterday for, and I quote, "Final Fantasy Ex-one", after which he explained he meant "the online one". I should've hung up on the bastard.

My mom calls them PokeMan. I can't seem to really care enough to correct her..then again she hasn't said that since Christmas '99 when I asked for Pokemon Yellow.
I've heard people call it OMImusha.

A preliminary fuck you to anyone whose offended by this. I've also been asked for that "Niggah" game by two extremely ghetto white children (I do not kid, remember I live in Miami). When they asked it from me I thought I heard wrong and I asked them to repeat it. He says "you know MAN, that niggah game." I explained to him that I didn't know what game he meant, he just told me that it was that game where that "niggah" goes around and steals everything. OF COURSE THEY WERE LOOKING FOR GRAND THEFT AUTO 3.

Yeah, it took a few years for my parents to get out of the habit of calling every system a Nintendo. I guess I talked about the all the different systems so damn much that it engraved it in their brain that Nintendo is just a company...not a synonym for video game console.

This all reminds me when this little old lady came in the store looking for the game "Niffletookie"
I looked at here puzzled for a minute and asked what system the game was for and if she knew what kind of game it was.
She replied football. I gathered myself and figured it out.
She wanted Sega's NFL2K1 for Dreamcast.
To this day I refer to the new version of Sega's football as Niffletookie.

I heard once, at EB, from an EMPLOYEE, that Sega was owned by Nintendo, that Sony made the Xbox and that a Xbox was better for younger children than the GC. It's not always customer you know?
