How is this a fail? Anyone that's been forced to learn cursive (thank goodness they're finally doing away with that!) knows that it's an 'L'.
Font Fails: How About Sons?

My question is, why did they waste so much black ink by taking a photo of a sign and printing that, rather than just copying the original sign?
Hardware Store Forced to Make Holiday Signage For Infamous Dumbass Customer Question
From Schnitzngigglez
I've heard a few of these stories. Once, I'd love to hear about the true victim asking the police for a copy of the faux police report and then suing the lying piece of crap for the emotional trauma of being interrogated due to the false report.
Crazy Customers: An Accident Turns Into Cops And Allegations Of Violence
From RHUer My greatest "Well that escalated quickly" story came from a grocery store I used to work at. It started with an accident. And honest to god accident; someone tried to put a bottle of alcohol back on the shelf and didn't put it back as solidly as they had thought. A few seconds afte...
Dear God, where in the hell do you live? I too work at a gas station/convenience store, and sure I've seen a lot of dumb stuff from the customers, but the worst I've seen from the employees are a couple of idiots pumping diesel in a gas vehicle and vice versa.
The Hell of Working a Gas Station Convenience Store
Hello, RHU. Tenebris here with some tales of Convenience store woe. It's been a long time since I worked for gas stations, so here are some highlights of my experiences. Let it be said that, for the most part, the employees caused more havoc than the customers, with a few notable exceptio...
Not that this justifies this guy parking his convertible here, but that looks to be a poorly-designed corral. Almost all of the ones I've used have some sort of bumper at either end that stops carts from rolling out and hitting cars.
Adventures with Cartie: Park in the Cart Corral, Suffer the Consequences
Cartie and his buddies prepare to teach this entitled asshole a lesson. From Merytz
I'm sorry, but I can't help but disagree with both of the previous commenters. Just because the company and the person OP spoke with on the phone were dicks does not mean the people OP made count all that coinage had anything to do with billing. They're small cogs and you're just being a dick.
Next time contact news outlets and social media and leave the poor workers alone.
Malicious Compliance: Bad Retail Slaves Get Their Comeuppance
From vikingzx, MaliciousCompliance This happened years ago, when I was a student at college. Me and my friends rented a house, and we had to manage utilities. Normally not a problem, but one time ... So it's Christmas. We're all heading out home one by one to be with our families, but I've g...
An asshole either way. Those blue zones that indicate no parking serve another purpose: they're for vehicles with side ramps for wheelchairs. So not only is the driver taking up a handicapped space (maybe illegally), but he's also making it so a vehicle with a ramp has a harder time finding a spot.
Bad Parking: A Rich Handicapped Person, Or A Rich, Entitled Asshole?

To be fair, the house the witch is flying to looks very much how the books described the Burrow. I can't speak for the movies, as I don't remember, but the house looks "held together by magic."
Geeky Wedding Cake Fail: Harry Potter or Halloween?
This Geeky Wedding cake is billed as a "Stunning Harry Potter Wedding Cake" Um...after all the cakes we've been seeing, I beg to differ. Besides looking very generic with some non descript leaf and flower adornments, the second tier of the cake doesn't exactly look like a scene from Harry Po...
I don't think this was posted because the cleaner didn't clean the pants, but because he wrote "raccoon hair" instead of "cat hair."
Dry Cleaner Refuses To Clean Customer's Pants Covered in Cat Hair and Writes This on the Tag...
From jedifan6: My dry cleaner refused to clean my pants because of cat hair and this was written on the tag.
Yes, your manager was a douche about the trash, but why would you tell HR the stuff about Mexico when it was the customer who made the crack?
Angry White Man Compares Bullseye Garbage To Mexico
Hello, It's Janitor girl and I have had one heck of a weekend. Saturday; my store has been out of MY toilet paper (the large rolls that fit in the dispensers) for days, so when the overnight manager said I had 2 pallets of supplies. I was ecstatic. The day-side manager said, in passing, "Make...
That looks more like the number 1 than the letter l to me. In my eyes, it's 'S1ea.'
Signage Slip-Ups: Execution is Everything
From demianspindler: Slea?
The sad thing is that this doesn't even cover half of the bad things customers do.
20 Things Customers Shouldn't Do
I have two questions for whomever decided the sign was necessary:
1) Does this only apply to people who are barefoot, or must people who wear flip-flops or open-toed sandals wear socks too?
2) If I'm not allowed to enter without wearing socks, how do you propose I purchase them at the counter?
Fast Food Funnies: McDonald's Goes Into the Sock Business
From CalvinBraun
Good story, and justice done, but why was this posted on RHU? There's nothing remotely retail in this story.
Justice Served: Mouthing Off To The Police Never Ends Well
From pillysutty, AskReddit Well this was one of my favorites. Being a cop in a small town, I would get a few large parties (150+ kids) with a lot of kids coming from outlying areas. I'm generally pretty nice to the young adults who live in the area I police, and am generally well liked. But ...

Grocery Store Pie Signage Gets Some Help From Dora
From Foobear408
That's... actually kind of terrifying.
Just Another Crazy Mannequin Monday at the Gap
From selahbrate
The punctuation looks fine to me. However, "Average" should have a lowercase A and and maybe she should've put what's being consumed between "more" and "than;" i.e. "The average North American consumes more finger sandwiches than 400 Africans."
Punctuation Is Important: Hannibal Lecter Has Some Catching Up To Do
To me, it looks like some a cabbage patch doll with the mumps. And is that a Peter Pan Pez dispenser head on the right?
