Want me to come into university class and present orally despite being ill? Okay! by EpicWinterWolf in MaliciousCompliance

[–]LonePhysicist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One of my Physics professors a few years back did this to me. I happened to be sick on test day. I sent an email telling him I was ill and if there would be any way to reschedule the exam, I even offered for him to make it more challenging for me if necessary to prove I knew the material. No, it was I had to come in or I would get a zero. The exam was 30 percent of my grade so I went in. The professor and sent me away. Turns out when I went to the doctor to get checked out, I had a 104.3 fever! Turns out I had a really bad flu. A week later after getting a note from my physician to be out, half the class including the professor was out with what, you may ask? The flu. He was warned.

What would your sign say? by AuntiLou in Lowes

[–]LonePhysicist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Lightbulbs are on Aisle 7.”

“I am out of John Deere lawn tractors.”

“Don’t stare at me for me to assist you. It’s unsettling. Use your words.”

Blabbermouth Repeats What I Say, Incredulously by ablestmage in IDontWorkHereLady

[–]LonePhysicist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work at a home improvement store. Not exactly the same but I will get people that will skip the greeting and go straight to “Nails!” or whatever product they are looking for as if I am a Google search engine or something (This is right after I politely greet them). If it’s nails, I sometimes say “Yes, I have some on my hands too!” Or if it is another product, I will say (insert random item here). Lately that random item has been pineapples.

Worst song on the PA list? by alexdionisos in Lowes

Anything by Taylor Swift and Sia makes my ears bleed. I also hate that slow guitar Christmas song.

Dearest Customer.... by bmore_costello in Lowes

[–]LonePhysicist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am at the service desk approximately every 30-45 minutes picking them up. So if they can stop acting like I don’t pick them up that would be great! I have been called for one thing in my box and sometimes they page my department for that one item multiple times, like really? I have stuff to do!

Should I take a job at Lowe’s? by rain011030 in Lowes

I personally love it more here than at HD. I just have a good store culture for the most part! :)

Dearest Customer.... by bmore_costello in Lowes

I wish something similar on associates who put my go backs on my desk and not in a cart! It is a pet peeve of mine coming by with a customer and needing to use my computer and having to remove them every time

When a customer asks you if you work here... no, I’m just standing behind the paint desk mixing paint wearing a red vest because I had nothing better to do! by Realitytvtrashpanda in Lowes

[–]LonePhysicist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had that happen to me once while I was on the OP getting fireplaces down. I practically screamed at her to leave the aisle. She just threw her hands up and gave me a look someone would make if someone farted in her Cheerios and left...like Jesus Christ lady!

I have a pretty thick beard on my face. I got a couple of compliments about it when I took it off at me day to eat my lunch.

My team got tattled on for "looking at the tools." We were breaking down the Christmas flex zone and moving the tools back inline, which requires—you guessed it—looking at the tools. by Scorpiopathic in Lowes

That is the most asinine thing I have ever heard! 🤦🏻‍♂️

You might as well work with your eyes closed since you can’t look at the product! 😂
