Customers try to return things for some real stupid reasons, like this lady who thought she'd get to keep two washers. This guy thought he was being justifiably upset when he was sold blue cabinet doors covered in logos. Nice going, man. For another dumb client interaction, here's a customer who didn't know what a broken arm meant.

I mean, sure, you could PROBABLY use two clothes irons to construct a sort of jury-rigged panini press, but before you enact your brilliant new plan, think to yourself if you actually have to ruin your irons. Chances are it won't be worth the sandwich, but it would be worth this list. In life you'll see many questionable fixes, and while they may seem awesome in theory, there's usually a reason to do things the right way.
Feels good when someone's crappy behavior is rewarded with a fitting punishment. In this case, two rude dudes who overstepped their bounds got a talking to and left with the massive bill they created. Sometimes employees get their own petty revenge on terrible customers, but this one came down from their own boss.
Ever had a boss that wanted to do something you knew was stupid, like standing on a ladder supported by a second ladder, supported by something on wheels? And you're like "I think this is unsafe" and he's all "this is how we've done it for years and nothing bad has happened, I mean except that one time." Man, screw that noise.
Don't let OSHA find out. Or the union. They'll have a kitten if they saw these places. So much for employee welfare. Some of these solutions to get to hard to reach spots to work are pretty clever. Most are just massive safety hazards waiting for a lawsuit to happen. But sometimes people have a one track mind, and just need to get done doing whatever they need to do, caution and common sense be damned. This guy knows all about when common sense goes out the window.
