From my seasonal job at a bookstore this past Christmas:
Customer: I need the latest Harlequin book.
Manager: What's the title? Or the author's name?
Customer: I don't know. I just need the latest Harlequin book!
Manager: Nanobaby, go online and see the latest Harlequin releases. Get the ones that we have and bring them to this customer so she can pick out the one she's looking for.
Me: (complies & returns with the 4 latest Harlequin books) Here you are, ma'am.
Customer: (angry) NO! NO! This is all wrong! I want the one with Batman on the cover?
Me: (thinking) Batman?! Who wrote a romance novel featuring Batman? Is it the 50 Shades of Dark Knight? *something clicks in my head*
Me: Ohhhhh. You mean you want the latest HARLEY QUINN book.
Customer: That's what I said! Harlequin!
From my recheck with my neuro today
Dr: So you got an MRI last month.
Me: Yup.
Dr: There's been no activity in your brain.
Me: Ouch. Are you calling me stupid?!
Dr: (laughs) I meant no disease activity.
