Aibu to ask for the most "WTF" complaints

[HouseholdPlantMurderer]

You have ever received?

I will start. Not the most ridiculous one, but in my top 10.
Woman demanding that I check in the back for a certain colour of a dress she wanted otherwise she will have me fired. After 5 minutes of her moaning she can't get it anywhere and me trying to explain that it's because it's not even made in the colour she wants, I went. I needed a toilet anyway 🙈

A customer ordered spicy italian sub. It's on a picture. It has a description there, he watched me to put pepperoni and salami in. Came back few minutes later FUMING that it's not vegetarian.... Sent a complaint to a head office about it too.

Remembered yet another lol.

Dh is a dentist and when I had our dd this year, he obviously had to take the day off so all of his patients were rearranged.
He was back in work the next day and a patient whose appointment had been moved (literally to 24 hours later) was complaining that it was inconvenient to her that I'd gone into labour and said "couldn't your wife have kept her legs closed for another day???"

He was so shocked that he didn't even reply.

DH and I were having a quiet drink one Friday night in a pub in our village (pre-DCs). I was a Deputy Head at the time. We left about half 9 to walk home.

Monday morning at work, the Head showed me an email received from a new school governor to inform him that the governor and his wife had seen me in a pub, drinking with a man,k on Saturday night and I had had 3 drinks in an hour. He felt it was inappropriate for an unmarried female school leader to be setting such a bad example.

I thought it was a joke but it wasn't. The Head told him to mind his own business.

DH and I were married, I kept my own name at work.

'a man' not 'a mank'

I think 'mank' covers it quite nicely. Did he think he was in the 1800's,where female teachers had to sign a good behaviour contract?

Worked in council housing a while ago. A family (2 adults, 2 young girls under 8) were allocated a 4 bedroom house. They were lucky to have been allocated this as really they were only entitled to a 2 bedroom house. 3 bedrooms were large enough to fit a double bed in while the 4th bedroom was a box room which could really only fit a single bed in. The family complained that they hadn't been given a larger 4th bedroom - the kids had a room each with double beds in, but they complained that when they had guests stay the kids would have to share a room as it wasn't fair to expect one of the kids to give up a room and sleep in the box room for the short time period they may have guests. They genuinely thought this was breaching their rights - I had to constantly remind them that had they not been so lucky they would have had a 2 bed house/flat and would have to put any guests up there on a sofa bed in the living room. Fell on flat ears, they sent all sorts of letters to the council asking to be moved to a bigger house, that this was affecting the mums MH, they couldn't be expected to live in such a small house. Gobsmacked at the lack of awareness from them of how lucky they had actually been!

@sueelleker I have no idea. He was an odd, elderly local Labour councillor. He described me to the Head as 'young, unmarried female' . I was irritated but it made me laugh. I was 33, married, had owned my own house for 10 years, lived independently since I was 18 and had a really responsible job.

I was once backstage chaperoning a local dance school show in a theatre when the fire alarms went off. We evacuated the entire place as soon as possible, the audience, the kids actually performing on stage whe the alarm went off, and everyone in all the dressing rooms. About two hundred children in all, some quite little. A mammoth undertaking and amazing that everyone was safely accounted for. While we were all stood outside and the fire brigade were still inside the building (false alarm fortunately) a parent who had been in the audience came up to me, absolutely furious that her precious child was standing outdoors in the cold dressed only in ballet shoes and a leotard.
I less than politely suggested to her that perhaps she would like to be a volunteer chaperone the next time her little darling was in a show.
