Stupid things customers say throughout the day

ive got lots of nice corkscrew thingys with hinges in the middle

I did a job at a place that used to be a fancy restaurant and was turning into a real estate office, and there were boxes of corkscrews in the back so I toook some. :/

What's a SWITCH card and why must it be spelt with all caps?

Thats them! Really good ones. No one here seems to want one, apart from skweeky!

I spelt it in capitals as i was incredulous that someone could spend that much money on a frivolous thing like wine straight out of their bank account, rather than using a credit card. I will italicise the next thing I want to emphasise.

I like the ones that have got 2 arms that when you wind it down, they go up, and then you pull them down again to release the cork.

I could have explained that better

Ross, whilst you're here, what's your opinion on Pink Tools? The DIY kind, not the kind the smutty little feckers who pass as educated literate men will deliberatly misinterpret the phrase as. JP told me off for buying them, because you wouldn't like it. I personally think it's a really good tool set, and because it's pink, shows who does the fecking DIY in my house, including fixing the fecking boiler!

Before I used a "Waiters Friend" I could only use the ones with arms, and never those that pulled straight out. Now I just screw, bend the hinge, and screw again. I've never been happier.

Too. Much. Innuendo.

it's brilliant! The teflon coated screw bit winds into the cork with no resistance, and the cork comes sliding out with ease.

They're crap.
Why?
My pliers alone (or should I say 'ALONE'?) cost the same as that entire kit.
