Frustrated Workers Share The Jokes They're Sick Of Hearing About Their Professions

[rebelmouse-image 18350128 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

It feels like everybody fancies themselves a comedian. Everybody has a "witty" retort or barb they think is just the most original commentary since the Bible. And 10 times out of 10 people are wrong. You're not funny and your "humor" is tired. Especially when you're throwing humor at a person's daily career. If the joke is blatantly obvious then rest assured it's been said before.

Redditor _u/itsplanty wanted to know what some "laughs" people are tired of hearing by asking... What dumb joke do you hear too often because of your job? How more customer service people aren't arrested more often I'll never know.

OUR POST OFFICE PEOPLE SUFFER ENOUGH...

When I delivered mail: "you can keep the bills" or some other comment about not wanting the bills.

SHUT UP JOSH!

[rebelmouse-image 18350129 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

My boss' name is Josh, everyday he says, "I'm just Joshing ya!" Every. Day.

THAT'S A LOADED POSITION...

My title was literally "Package Handler."

Welsh_ish

I have a friend who is a _"Pipe Layer" _and another buddy who is a _"Load Handler"_ to many jokes.

Optimized_Orangutan

I was unofficially titled the "fluffer" at my old job. I was really good at taking out the display Christmas trees and making them look all fluffy and pretty.

"Can you turn off the suck button"

Recording engineer. Haha, I get it, you're not a very good musician, now let's take it from the top because you're ignoring the click.

And the joke that the engineers always make is, "Yeah, that was ok, but this time maybe sing it like it's a record."

HAVE A NICE DAY!

[rebelmouse-image 18350132 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

When I'm taking money at the Drive Thru, WHICH WE ARE TIMED ON, BY THE WAY.

"Oh I already paid."

"No you didn't, it's still on the board. Did you pay with a card or something?"

"Orders up."

"Also I didn't see anyone come over."

"Yeah, but I already paid, so you can just give it to me."

"No, I can't. Where's your receipt?"

Timer starts beeping. We get I think 120 seconds?

"Oh I didn't get it, but I paid."

"Dude. I know you didn't. Just break already."

"Haha, okay, you got me!"

Five cars behind him. 300 seconds on the timer, your food is cold, and I'm pissed.

"Have a good day, buddy!"

Don't waste my time.

Happens once a day.

SO FUNNY. NOT!

[rebelmouse-image 18978182 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

I'm a salesman who's name happens to be Jake.

I hear on a daily basis

"Oh you quit your job at State Farm? Why?"

Or

"Why aren't you wearing khakis?"

I laugh along most times because I want the sale. But I'm always internally screaming. Don't get me started on my last name.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

[rebelmouse-image 18978183 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

When i worked Retail,

Me: "Can I get you anything else?" Customer: "Yea, a million dollars"

Now usually i just pulled the fake customer service laugh and let it go, but if it's a cute girl, I once said this...

"We sell mirrors on Aisle 7, I'm sure you'll find it there."

NOT CUTE...

Teacher giving a test

"Any questions about the directions?"

"What's the answer to #1."

Wanna just walk out of the room sometimes.

I'M ALIVE!!

[rebelmouse-image 18978185 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Work in a morgue. "Oh people are just DYING to come see you!!" To which I respond _"Obviously. I'm delightful."I also was once asked how things were going in the morgue and I replied "Lively"as it was pretty busy that day. They thought it was so hilarious and now 2 years later they won't let me forget that I referred to a morgue as _"lively" one time.

HOW ORIGINAL.

[rebelmouse-image 18978186 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

My name's Michael and I worked at Michaels. No I'm not the CEO.

HERE'S THE BILL!

[rebelmouse-image 18356123 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

When you're clearing someone's empty plate and ask if they liked their meal. "Oh, no, I hated it!"

Can't believe this hasn't been mentioned yet. I used to hear it literally 10x a day when I was working in restaurants.

#@%#$#%@$@%%$ YOU!

[rebelmouse-image 18978187 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

I'm an operator in a power plant.

"Oh my God are you Homer Simpson lololololololololol! Do you want a donut hahahaha!"

IT'S A SURPRISE.

[rebelmouse-image 18978188 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Some guy during his abdominal ultrasound: "so is it a boy or a girl??"

cue fake laugh and internal eye roll

I'LL SHOW YOU A GAME...

[rebelmouse-image 18978189 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Preschool teacher (in sweden).

"Must be nice to just play all day long, right? Hahaha!"

Let's put it this way. You and your SO are sitting in an apartment with 2 bedrooms. Suddenly someone opens the door and 18 screaming three year olds comes running in. Two adults in a small area with 18 children.. How much playing do you think you have time for?

OH KAREN... DROP DEAD.

[rebelmouse-image 18359457 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

"Oh look! You're both wearing blue shirts! I guess I didn't get the blue shirt memo!" Oh, Karen. You're hilarious. Go away and stay there.

ACTUALLY IT'S EXTRA...

[rebelmouse-image 18348614 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

If something doesn't scan at the register "that means it's free, right?"

OH NATIONWIDE... :(

[rebelmouse-image 18346733 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

I've had an influx of people moving their insurance from other carriers and they always try to make some witty response about how the company they are with weren't working out for them. For example, if they had Nationwide, I swear to god every single one of them says "Nationwide wasn't on MY side!" Or if they had Progressive, they say something about how Flo didn't use her price checker tool for them or with Allstate they would say they weren't in good hands. (These are just examples)

In reality, though, your prices were increased because you're a shitty driver and think you're entitled to lower rates when you have 3 pages worth of MVR violations.

WE WILL ROCK YOU!

[rebelmouse-image 18978191 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

We engrave stones here at the shop and the number of times I've heard "You guys rock!" or "Hey, it's not like it's etched in stone or anything?", or my personal favorite _"You've spelled it wrong." are mind boggling. The first two are fine, the last one isn't great because it fills me with dread and panic until they say _"Ha! Just kidding!"

DON'T BE A DATELINE EPISODE...

[rebelmouse-image 18978192 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Estate Planning legal assistant here.

"Are you here of your own free will?" points to wife "No she made me do this"

HOW ABOUT I TAKE AWAY ZEROES?

[rebelmouse-image 18978193 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

"Can you add a couple of zeroes to this?" I'm a payroll accountant, I do all the paychecks for my company.

It wasn't funny the first time. It's remained not funny for seven years.

While we may not all enjoy studying history, we all have certain types of stories that interest us, and one that seems to catch everyone's attention are the hard-to-believe, almost far-fetched tales.

Interestingly enough, history is full of these stories, leaving many to believe that reality is truly stranger than fiction.

Anyone raising children can attest to the difficult challenges involved with being a parent.

And despite every intention of getting it right by doing the best job they can, not everyone is a perfect at being mom or dad.

Hopefully, people will be able to look back on their childhood and recognize that everything their folks did for them was all out of love.

If only that was the case.

Unfortunately, there are those who were never meant to be parents and have scarred their children with bad memories.

Be it for clothes, household appliances, or food, sometimes you know you can be one hundred percent confident with certain brands or companies when shopping that you will be getting a quality product.

Unfortunately, this goes both ways.

Some companies have a reputation for exclusively selling and manufacturing low-quality products.

One would think that these companies might reflect on poor sales and bad customer feedback, and attempt to improve their brand with each passing year.

Unfortunately, even if they still get items on the shelf, reviews on Amazon and elsewhere still seem to remain at two stars or less.
