Talking Most ridiculous complaint

Yes I know I'm sad but I do quite like checking out product reviews and having a giggle at some of the nonsense people spout. One of my favourites was posted on the QVC (IIRC) and concerned a ladder. The rather annoyed reviewer had bought the item and given it a very bad review because it was too short!

Another comes from personal experience. Some years ago I answered my business line one day only to be greeted by a torrent of abuse from a very disgruntled client who hardly stopped to take breath. When I finally managed to get a word in, I asked for his name and immediately checked the file.

"I see, so you haven't received your final documents yet then?" I asked.

"No and I want my money back!" came the angry reply.

"Well according to our records the second set of draft documents was sent to you for checking over 2 weeks ago..." I pointed out...

"I know, I have them right here and I've been waiting ever since!..." he rudely interrupted.

"....and we're still awaiting their return together with your final instructions which is why nothing else has been done to date." I continued.....

At that point the line went very quiet for some strange reason.......

After a few seconds he then demanded to speak to the manager and didn't seem too happy when I told him I was as high as he could get in the chain of command and that he wouldn't be getting his money back anytime soon..

I dare say anyone who deals with the general public experiences this sort of thing all the time, so has anyone here got any other classics to relate?
