An elderly, fake-crippled, gentleman (well, lets be honest...an old, drunk man) comes up to the desk and shouts "HEY, I NEED TO SPEAK TO A MANAGER." He must have notice the lack of hearing aids on my person, wait, I don't need a hearing aid, I don't happen to be deaf in the slightest. So I retrieve a Manager and she comes to speak with him, this is when I realize he is a fake crippled person. After telling her that a pigeon shat on him out on the bar patio and therefore he needed a place to shower and wash his clothes (or rather a place for US to wash his clothes) she denied his request. To make more of a point his got out of the wheelchair to rant some more.

And then proceed to have a little person follow him out, while he pushed the wheelchair, to take pictures of our transgression. (I hired the pigeon) Please note, he was PUSHING the wheelchair. I'm offended on behalf of all handicapped people. Then the small man came and asked me for a job application, because really, who better to work the front desk?

Hilar! Also, this brings me to a very valuable point; often times in the workplace we are caught off guard. There are many oddities (if it's not a word it is now) that occur in the workplace and I would love to hear some of yours too. Feel free to comment with the most absurd thing you've seen in the workplace.
