First post. Not hugely sucky by means of being rude, just sad. And stupid. So very stupid.


Background info:
I work at a large chain pet store. As you can imagine, I also own pets. The pet in question on this particular day was an oscar fish. I have three of these type of fish. Basic knowledge (which I think you should have if you're owning any pet) of this type of fish is that..well, they eat other fish. They're also messy and destructive.

So it's about 10am and the phone rings. It's a girl saying that she has a 9in oscar fish and she doesn't want it anymore, will the store take it back? I tell her the store doesn't accept fish back after 14 days but if she gave me some way to contact her, I'd think about taking the fish myself and give her a call. She puts her boyfriend on the phone.

SFM - Stupid fish man
Me - Meeeee!

SFM: *sounding still drunk for the previous night* I ain't givin' you my phone number.
Me: Okay..well, the store won't accept the fish back but bring it up anyway and I'll take it home.
SFM: Nahhh, I don't want to be bothered by all that. I'm just going to put it in the river.
Me: It's going to die if you put it in the river, it's a tropical fish.
SFM: I'm still going to put it in the river.
Me: Well, is there something wrong with the fish? Maybe I can help you.
SFM: There ain't nuffin' wrong wit it. I don't want it no more. It gets on my nerves.
Me: *o_0* How is the fish getting on your nerves?
SFM: I have to clean the tank all the time and it keeps messing it up. And it eats all my goldfish.
Me: Well, sir..that's what they do. I'd be happy to take the fish for you.
SFM: No, I'm going to put it in the river. *hangs up*

WTF? Why did you even call? WHY?! It's so sad. :(
