There was a thread on the tarantula board about the funniest thing heard in a pet store, and I have to tell a "non-tarantula" story about my evening last night...
A couple days ago, a woman came in to the pet store with her two little boys. They were obviously well to do; the woman was dressed in a fine buisness suit, and the little boys were allowed to purchase two green anoles and all the supplies needed to give the anoles the equivalent of a little girl's Barbie Dreamhouse. Everyone was quite excited.
As they were leaving, the little boys were already opening the box a little to take a peek at the anoles. I said, "Boys, those anoles are very fast! Keep that box closed until you get home, okay? Let your parents help you put them in their new tank."
Well, last night the mother came back to the store. "Clip, clop, clip, clop" - I almost knew it was her before looking up because of the high heeled shoes. "I am SO glad you are here. Do you remember me? You sold my boys an empty box!" Imagine that.
I explained to her that the box was not empty and they likely escaped if the box was opened again before they got home. Miss Thing then went into the following tirade:
YELLING: "You will GIVE me two more anals because we were charged for them and did not receive them. I told my boys not to open that box in the car and if we had left with two anals, we would have had them when we got home."
All the other customers were looking at her at this point, obviously. It was so funny!
