Toys, treats, problem-solvers — everything to keep your furball happy, happy, happy.
1. A door panel that lets your furry friend come and go as they please — without you having to crawl out of bed at 2 a.m. No more groggy midnight potty breaks! Plus, it seamlessly fits into your glass doors, so you get all the convenience without sacrificing your home's aesthetic.

Promising review:"This is just what we needed to add to our patio sliding glass door to allow our dogs to go outside during the winter time without getting up and taking them out. Fits perfect and looks nice too. Well-made also." — Glenda
2. A waterproof blanket so you can enjoy all the snuggles without the stress. Just toss this over your couch, and before your know it, your furniture is instantly pet-proof, spill-proof, and life-proof. Because cuddles shouldn't come with a cleaning bill.
Promising reviews:"Very nicely made throws! So very soft. Look nice on furniture, and [it] protects." — Carol
"I love this blanket, and so do my dogs. Keeps hair off the couch, and when wet from the snow, it protects my couch. It's very nice-looking and warm if you use it as a blanket." — Cathy
Price: $13.71+ (originally $32.95+; available in three sizes and seven colors)
3. A litter disposal system that traps odors like a pro — so your home won't smell like a giant cat bathroom. Plus, fewer trips to the dumpster for you and a fresher space for your fancy feline. Because no one, including your cat, wants to marinate in the scent of their own business.
KimberlyH/Chewy
Promising review:"Just LOVE this product! We have a small home and cat box waste has always reeked in kitchen garbage. Been using this product for a month and absolutely notice a huge difference in the smell. So easy to use and convenient! I only need to dispose of one bag, once a week. Product is also compact enough for small spaces." — Snoqueenee
4. A Furminator pet hair-deshedding brush so you can finally see the dog underneath all that fluff. This cult-favorite tool tackles shedding like a champ and even has a nifty little lever that clears out the trapped fur for you — because wrangling your pet's hair should be easy, not a full-time job. Win-win!
Promising review:"I am so amazed with this brush! I have tried several brushes and the bristles always end up breaking and they never get deep down to the undercoat. However, this brush is sturdy and no broken pieces after several uses! I love that there is a fur release button to get the stubborn hairs out of the brush. My dog gets so excited when it's time to get brushed and he was like a brand-new dog after using this for the first time!" — Nicole
5. A bag of Pedigree dental chews that'll have your pup thinking they're just getting a treat — when really, they're secretly fighting off plaque, tartar, and that breath. It's a daily snack that keeps their chompers clean and helps them avoid a very expensive (and dramatic) trip to the doggy dentist.
Promising review:"My Coonhound had bad breath and was getting yellow on her teeth. I started giving her one of these daily, at the recommendation of someone from the dog park. Now, nearly a month later, her teeth have turned white again, and her breath has no odor at all. Plus, she likes them. I definitely recommend these for the health of your dog's teeth." — LibbyBell
6. A silent exercise wheel so your night-owl pet can get their steps in without turning your bedroom into a 24/7 spin class. Now they can run to their little heart's content, and you can actually get some sleep. It's a win for both of you — thank me later.
Lindsay/Chewy
Promising review:"When I was younger and didn't know better, I had a wire wheel for my hamsters. This one is so much better. I can't hear when the hammy is running and the base is nice and heavy, so it doesn't move around. Also, their feet don't get stuck because the part they run on is solid with some grip." — Lindsey
7. A silicone food mat for the chaotic eaters in your home. Just slide this under their bowls and boom — no more stepping in mystery puddles or crunching stray kibble underfoot. Your socks (and your sanity) will thank you.
And it's dishwasher-safe!
Promising review:"This is the perfect size for an elevated feeder and my slobbery Lab. It catches water, food, and sometimes, a random ball. Water does not seep underneath it. My Lab is a very slobbery water drinker, and this catches it. It stays in place, too. I highly recommend it." — Cinders
8. A flea and tick collar so you can skip the monthly battle of squeezing that greasy goop onto your cat. This magical little collar slowly releases protection for up to eight months, keeping your kitty itch-free, bite-free, and totally unbothered. Less mess, less stress — just set it and forget it.
Marvin/Chewy
Promising review:"We had been struggling with fleas for months and couldn't get rid of them. Nothing was working. We had a suggestion from a friend to get some flea collars, and I was desperate. So we got them. So. Worth. It. There was a noticeable change in the cats within a week. Less scratching, no flea poop coming off of them, and they seemed happier. I'm pretty sure the fleas are either almost completely gone or gone. Highly recommend." — Victoria
9. A pack of hygienic waste bags that are thick, puncture-resistant, and actually cover your whole hand — because no one wants an accidental finger-to-poo situation. Consider this your safety net.
Chewy
Promising review:"These are the bags we use and love. However, I found some cheaper ones for my last order, so I thought I would try them. It was a big mistake that resulted in getting a mess on my hands a couple of times. (YUCK!) The two-ply construction and placing your entire hand inside the mitts and protecting your hand from yucky messes is invaluable. Worth every penny!" — Momof2
10. A bottle of aquarium conditioner so you can turn plain ol' tap water into a safe, fish-friendly paradise. Just a few drops make water changes way easier while keeping your finned bestie happy and thriving because they deserve the best — without the hassle.
Chewy
11. A PetSafe automatic feeder to keep your pet on a regular feeding schedule — even when you're not around. This genius gadget can hold up to five meals, making it perfect for busy days or when you're off living your best vacation life. Now you can finally stop stressing about whether your furry pals are being fed while you're away.
Promising review:"This is ideal for anyone who isn't with their cat during the day. Now your cat can eat on a schedule and NOT be overfed by leaving a full bowl of food out all day. This is what the vet recommended. This is my second one — well worth the money. Highly recommend it." — Jojo
12. Or! An automatic pet feeder that holds up to five meals, ensuring your pet gets the perfect amount of food every time. No more scarfing down meals in record time! This smart feeder paces your pet just right, keeping them satisfied and healthy.
Chewy
Promising review:"Love this product so much. I have one for each of my cats. Don't worry if I'm running late or must be away. My furry friends are taken care of. I would highly recommend this to all cat or dog owners." — Casey
13. A pack of pill pockets to make giving your dog their meds a total breeze. They'll think they're just getting a tasty treat, but you'll know the real deal: they're getting healthier with every bite. It's like a sneaky little wellness hack — shhh!
moesmom/Chewy
14. A sheer bird cage skirt that catches all the mess — seeds and debris — before it hits your floor. Available in various sizes and colors, it's the perfect way to keep your aviary looking cute and clean without sacrificing style because even your bird's space deserves a little TLC.
Promising review:"My cockatiel was spilling his food out of his cage, and I had to vacuum several times a day. Then I found this cage skirt, and i t's been one of the best things I've bought to keep everything much cleaner with less vacuuming. It's lightweight and breathable, best decision ever." — kei98
15. A 30-pound food storage container because, let's be real, leaving your pet's food in a torn-up bag is asking for a mess. Skip the spilled kibble disaster and keep everything fresh with this sleek, screw-top bin. It's the no-fuss solution to keeping your pet's food safe and organized.
Chewy
Promising review:"Over the years, I have had dogs of different sizes and breeds (many breeds smarter than I), so storing open bags of kibble in a closet was just not practical. These vaults keep my pet food safe from 'poachers,' keeps it from going stale, and allows me to save money by buying the larger, economy-sized bags. They are well-made and worth every penny. Heck yeah, I recommend the Vittles Vault." — Crate
16. A jar of paw protectant made from natural waxes to shield your adventure buddy's paws from the harsh elements. This balm is way more likely to stay on their feet than those clunky dog booties. So go ahead — let them explore without worrying about their paws.
Pearl/Chewy, Chewy
17. A jar of digestive supplement chews to keep your dog's gut and urinary system in check — and your lawn free of those dreaded brown burn spots. Healthy pup, happy yard — it's basically a 2-for-1 deal you didn't know you needed.
Promising review:"I was a little skeptical at first. Nothing I had tried in the past ever helped the burn spots from my dog's urine. My male husky absolutely loves these and I absolutely love the fact I'm seeing less and less burn spots. He also had constipation issues before taking these chews, but now he is much more regular. Not only is my yard looking better, but my dog's digestive health is much better!" — Phoenix
18. A wound and skincare spray that's basically a first-aid hero for your furry family member. Skip the expensive vet bills and the endless wait for appointments — this spray helps ease pain and discomfort, so your pet can feel better sooner.
Promising review:"I have used Vetericyn for several years and always have a bottle on hand. It is a wonderful wound care product that is very effective. In addition, it is a light, non-sticky spray, so it is very easy to use. Most of the time, my dog does not even realize I have applied it." — AnneD
19. A flying squirrel dog toy because it's way more exciting for your dog to chase something that looks like an actual squirrel — minus the colors and the glowing feet. It's the next best thing to a real-life squirrel chase without all the chaos.
Chewy
Promising review:"My Labrador puppy absolutely LOVES this toy. It's his favorite whenever we play fetch. Holds up well to his tendency to chew on it before giving it back for another toss. This works so well for us I bought a second one to make games of fetch easier." — Elle
20. A digital thermostat and temperature controller to keep your reptilian buddy living in comfort. The right temperature is a must, and this device makes sure your terrarium stays perfectly dialed in — whether it needs to be warm and cozy or cool and chill. Your pet will totally love their comfy new home!
Chewy
Promising review:"This is a MUST. Get this if you have a reptile who needs a constant heat source. They need this to make sure it's the right heat and they don't overheat or freeze." — Dakota
Price: $27.89
21. A saguaro-shaped scratching post because your cat deserves a stylish place to scratch, not some ugly old thing. This trendy cactus not only gives them the perfect spot to scratch, but it also has a soft, moppy fabric they'll love rubbing against. Who knew cat furniture could be this cute?
Chewy
Promising review:"I had a problem with my kitten scratching up the side of my couch, so I bought this and placed it right in front of that part. She almost immediately scratched the cat post instead of the couch and hasn't returned! So happy with this purchase, plus it also looks super cute." — BeanAndSylviesMom
Price: $22.99+ (available in two sizes)
22. A roller dog toy that's perfect for indoor playtime. It's soft enough to throw around without worrying about breaking anything, and its bright colors make it super easy to spot when it rolls under the couch. Indoor fetch just got a whole lot safer (and more fun)!
Chewy, Katie/Chewy
Promising review:"Very well-made. My five dogs love it. It's durable, and it can withstand tug-of-war games. Plan to purchase more really soon." — Chewy Reviewer
Price: $6.56 (originally $12.99)
23. A pet travel bag made specifically for air travel, because your furry friend deserves to fly in style. With compartments for food, water, toys, and medications, this bag ensures your pet has everything they need to feel comfy on the go. Bon voyage, little buddy — luxury travel awaits!
Chewy, Luna/Chewy
Promising review:"This bag is perfect for traveling with my 70-pound Husky. Lots of storage space for food, leashes, and other necessities. The storage containers are a good size and nicely made, and I especially love the silicone bowls that come with the bag." — huskymama
Price: $38.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors)
24. A bottle of pet odor and stain remover will make cleaning up your pet's messes easier. The enzymatic formula tackles whatever your furry friend throws at it, leaving everything smelling citrusy fresh — whether it's on hardwood floors or upholstery. Because a clean home = a happy you!
instagram.com
Promising review: 'It works well! My three dogs (except for Norman) and I are in our retirement years. Norman showed up in my yard while I was downsizing homes in December. Pito, the 18-year-old Chihuahua, and Norman have accidents often. I rely on Nature's Miracle to remove odors from my tile floors. When my youngest daughter comes into town, I ask her to do the sniff test for odors. Thus far, my house has passed the test for being odor-free. Thank you, Nature's Miracle!' — Ella
Price: $8.99+ (available in four sizes)
25. A set of can covers to keep your pet's wet food fresh — because it's not exactly cheap! These handy covers will save you from wasting food (and money) while keeping leftovers fresh for your furry friend's next meal. A total game changer!
Chewy
Promising review:"I use one of these for my cat food, one for dog food. Both cans are different sizes, but they fit both great (cat food is 5.5 ounces, and dog food is 13.2 ounces). No more wasted cling wrap and I love that they are top-shelf dishwasher-safe." — MB22
Price: $12.95 for a two-pack
26. A tough dog chew toy that smells and tastes just like real wood — but without any risk to your dog's teeth. It's the perfect way to keep your pup happily chewing for hours, with none of the splinters or mess. Your dog will be entertained, and you'll have peace of mind!
Nancy/Chewy
Promising review:"Definitely lasts longer than any rawhide chew he's had. He really likes gnawing on it. We've had it over a week now and it's not breaking down. Looks like it's going to last quite a while." — Maura
Price: $2.23+ (available in four sizes)
27. A dual dog leash to make sure your pups don't turn your walk into a tug-of-war. This leash keeps them together, giving each dog the attention they deserve while you stay in control. Walks just got a whole lot easier — and way less chaotic!
Chewy
Promising review:"This is a great leash. I have two large dogs and this leash makes it so easy to walk them. I would recommend this to anyone! Thanks, Chewy for an affordable great leash!" — Czoo
Price: $21.95

13 Tough Things People Often Romanticize
While a certain thing might look glamorous from the outside, it can be a lot of work to do when you're actually in the middle of it. So when we asked the BuzzFeed Community: "What's something people only romanticize because they've never actually done it?" so many people shared their thoughts below. "Motherhood! It is a gift I wouldn't trade for the world, but holy shit, no one tells you how all-consuming it is. The anxiety, guilt, exhaustion, and feeling like you lost yourself. I felt bitter for some time that no one told me the ugly parts until I was already in it." —Anonymous, 30, Atlanta "Farming. Both Boomers (in the '70s) and Millennials (more recently) seem to have a group of folks who romanticized farming and 'getting back to nature.' Reality is that farming is often back-breaking work from before dawn (not at dawn or after dawn) until dark. The equipment is very expensive, requiring you to buy on credit or lease it, creating never-ending debt, but if you don't do it, you will fall behind and not sell enough. The market for your products can tank, leaving you in even more debt, or a harvest can fail. You have to hire help or have a large enough family who can pitch in. There are a number of zoning rules and health codes that can be hard to meet on an older farm, but newer farms cost too much. No sick days allowed (livestock require care every single day), and vacations are rare (if you can afford them). It is a hard and expensive life that only a few can truly handle." "Living in a small or smaller town. I can say from personal experience that while the slower pace is nice in comparison to bigger cities, there's not a lot of privacy either. Not to mention driving an hour out of town to get any real errands or shopping done." —Anonymous "The most stressed out I ever was at my grocery store job was when I was in management. To be fair, part of that time was during the start of the pandemic, which sucked for most people. But asking for a demotion was the best thing I did for my mental health." "Marriage. There is so much hype around marriage, especially for women, beginning when we're little girls. Finding Mr. Right, anticipating the proposal, the engagement, the shower, the parties and festivities leading up to the actual wedding day. Then reality sinks in: finances, kids, in-laws, balancing life and careers… the list goes on. I believe marriage is portrayed in a much more romanticized way than it actually is in reality. And now, with everyone living their lives on social media, the cycle continues. They don't show the hard work, compromise, and maintenance involved, and often, it isn't pretty." —Anonymous, 54, Los Angeles "Buying land and putting your own house on it. The whole process to build the house was so awful that I almost didn't want the place by the time it was done." "Working in a chocolate shop! It's a nightmare and not at all romantic — and Valentine's Day is the worst! Non-stop chaos from open to close and largely because of chocolate-covered strawberries! The shop gets filthy. There are always a few employees hogging the register, and no one else gets a chance. Employees are judged by their sales, and if they don't sell enough, they could lose their jobs. Management doesn't do a thing about the register hogs. Yeah, very romantic." —Anonymous "Moving to Japan. It is not all anime, technology, and 7-Eleven. It is working long hours for low pay and is quite isolating. I managed to get settled, but I know many who fall into depression or leave the country quite quickly. Amazing place for a holiday, but don't expect the same experience if you choose to live here." "Owning a house. It sounds awesome; it's yours. Until you realize all the costs are also yours, and it's actually not yours but the bank's, and you have to pay and arrange everything. New heater, your problem. Leaking roof, you pay. And if you don't pay for repairs, the bank can take the house from you for neglect because it's still theirs." —dietarycharger "Yes, business travel. It seems cool and it is for a bit, but when you do it once a month or more, it's absolutely exhausting, and dealing with what feels like never-ending jet lag sucks." "Being a chef. Romantics would have you believe it's a world of cooking, great food, and top restaurants. Uh no. It's hot, demanding, and exhausting work under people who sometimes have no business being in charge of toilet paper, let alone a restaurant. It's hours and hours on your feet, working all hours, dealing with the public, and a LOT of stress." —Anonymous, 53, Virginia "As someone who's been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and severe anxiety, I was to open-hand smack people when they romanticize depression or claim to be depressed when they're just bummed out. Depression is no joke; not feeling excited, inspired, or happy about anything truly sucks. Flat affect sucks." "Meeting your idol. Thinking they would be just like they are on film and talk shows. Turns out, your idols aren't anything like what you thought they were, and that's hard to take when you used to have such affection for them." —babycapricorn129 What's a thing people only romanticize because they've never actually done it?

31 People Who — Bless Them — Were Way, Way, Way, Way, Way, Way Too Confused For Their Own Good
Reddit user u/deadmoby5 posed the question, "What was your 'Sir, this is a Wendy's' moment?" which prompted hundreds of people, including BuzzFeed Community members, to share their stories of clueless customers catching an attitude and people genuinely not having any idea what they were doing. I have so much secondhand embarrassment. Here's what they shared: 1."I work at a museum gift shop. I once had a lady come in asking to be seated for four people, thinking we were a restaurant famous for chicken dinners. I explained what we were, and she's looking for the place four doors down. She immediately got PISSED at me, saying I was hiding the chicken from her and that she was positive she ate here last year when they were in town (even though our museum had existed for about 40 years at this point, so that was not possible). It took her several minutes to leave, and even then, she still didn't believe that we weren't a chicken restaurant, despite having the word museum on our building and not a dead fried bird in sight." —thegassygoose 2."I used to work at a well-established paint-your-own-pottery studio with the word 'bakers' in the name — think, 'The Pottery Bakers.' Our windows were FILLED with pottery for sale, and the walls were lined with white bisque to be painted. A woman came in and asked: 'Do you have any baguettes?' Me: 'Baguettes?' Her: 'What else do you have?' I looked around at the full room of people in smocks painting pottery, then looked back at her. Her with bizarre urgency: 'Do you have any bread available?' Me: 'Ma'am, we are a pottery studio. We bake pottery. I do not have any bread.' The next day, she left us a one-star review claiming that our store name was deliberately misleading so that we could lure people in to visit under the 'false pretenses' of being a bakery of breads." —u/causa_sui 3."I worked at Sam's Club during the height of the pandemic. The toilet paper wars were raging, and every beef and pork product had been out of stock for days. I was the rotisserie chicken guy, so basically the only money-maker in the meat department. I was performing the never-ending grease cleaning routine that took up my time while the chickens cooked, and a dude in his 50s or 60s frantically came up to me and asked, 'WHAT SIZE UNDERWEAR AM I WEARING?!' Before I could respond, he turned around and flipped the elastic band of his tighty-whities at me. He was a medium. He thanked me and speed-walked toward the clothing section. I guess men's underwear was in danger of disappearing that day." —u/tuckerx78 4."When I was about 12 or 13, I saved up my allowance and neighborhood yard work money to finally afford the newest iPod, the one that could play videos as well. I wanted to make sure they had it at the store before I got my parents to drive me there, so I opened the phone book, found the Apple Store, and called them. Guy at Apple Store: 'Hello?' Me: 'Hi, do you have the iPod Video in stock?' Guy: ' is an apple store. crunch?' I had called the gift shop at an apple orchard." —u/GroggyWanderer Related: 5."Many years ago, I worked as a pharmacy tech for a big chain. One day, this lady came up to the counter and asked me if I could help her. She reached into her purse, grabbed a bag, and opened it for me to see. I looked in and saw a bag full of bugs — many dead, but a few moving. She goes on to tell me that she 'found' these bugs in her car, home, food, hair, and inside her (whatever that means). I quickly realized this was above my pay grade, so I called my pharmacist for a consultation. I hid and eavesdropped on their conversation. My pharmacist told her we're a pharmacy, and she needed to call an exterminator." —u/TenLate 6."When I worked at McDonald's, someone came in and demanded steak. It was a McDonald's. He demanded to see a manager, who helpfully informed him this was a McDonald's. 'I can get steak at Taco Bell!' he claimed. Then go to Taco Bell?" —u/joy3111 7."I worked at Best Buy. I was part of Geek Squad, with a counter adjoining Customer Service, and I heard this whole thing go down. A lady comes in irate about her laptop being slow (it's a netbook, so yeah, it sucks). Our CS manager is there, and she's going through the ringer trying to find this lady's receipt. She checked every card, every name, every phone number. Finally, CS is like, 'If you know the day you bought it, I can search the cash receipts, but it would have to be from this store.' The lady goes, 'Oh, I didn't buy it here.' CS says, 'OK, which Best Buy did you get it from?' The lady says, 'I got it at Walmart.' CS says, 'You can't return something you bought at Walmart to Best Buy.' The lady goes, 'What do you mean? You're the same store!'" —venkmanphd 8."I worked in an ice cream shop when I was 16/17, and I had a lady scream at us, demanding a refund because her ice cream was melting too fast. She had ordered hot fudge on it." —u/fuzzbeebs 9."I work for a CPA office in an office park with a couple of doctors' offices. One day, a guy came in, only speaking Spanish, so I grabbed my Spanish-speaking colleague to translate. He talked to the guy in the lobby for a few minutes, then the guy left, and my coworker came back and asked if that was a joke or if we put someone up to that. Apparently, the guy explained that his testicles were extremely swollen and painful. He was looking for one of the doctors' offices and just walked into the first building in the complex. Sir, we do taxes here, not testicles." —u/AlternativeAcademia 10."A guy came into my liquor store and asked if we could help change his tire. We didn't change his tire, and he left one real angry online review." —u/Bog2ElectricBoogaloo 11."Had a guy come into my place of work, ticked off because he issued his payment date and had to pay extra to turn his phone back on. He said something along the lines of, 'It was due at midnight, and y'all aren't open at midnight, so how was I supposed to pay?' I calmly explained that we are open until 7:00 p.m. every day but Sunday, and he screamed, 'Well, unlike you, I actually have a job!' At my job. Whilst doing my job." —u/lordgabe92again Related: 12."I worked in a national park. I was asked when we turn the geysers on. I was also asked when we let the bears out for viewing. Ma'am, this isn't an amusement park." —u/IntoTheMystic8 13."My brother was working at Chick-fil-A in the drive-thru. A guest asked for a Whopper with cheese. My brother said, 'Ma'am, this isn't a Burger King. We only have chicken sandwiches.' She started screaming at him and asked why he couldn't just make it. He told her they didn't have beef anywhere in the store. She wouldn't take no for an answer, and the manager had to come out." –u/Accomplished_Cow_662 14."A woman came into our store and asked where the carrots were. We thought maybe it was a new brand we hadn't heard of yet, so we asked her to clarify. 'Carrots, like for cooking,' she said. I wonder what part of walking into an electronics store and seeing computers everywhere made her go, 'Yeah, this store definitely has produce somewhere.'" —u/s317sv17vnv 15."This barbershop in my local mall closed down and was replaced with a place that sold stained glass lamps and figurines/mini fountains. My husband did not realize this and still insisted on entering the shop and asking for a haircut, even though you could clearly see it was no longer a barber shop, and I told him as much. He thought the barber chairs must just be in the back, and the front of the store was just a gift shop, for some reason. I refused to enter the store with him on this quest, out of embarrassment, and now, 10 years later, it's still something we laugh about. He's never done anything like that before or since, so I don't know what switch turned off in his brain in that moment." —jainelaine 16."When I worked for a Verizon call center, I used to have so many of these stories. The only one I can remember is when it took me over five minutes to convince a man that I could do nothing about power lines being down near his house. He apparently even had a separate landline service that did actually run lines in his neighborhood, but no, he was adamant that his cellphone carrier could just get that fixed. People also somehow believed that all tech support lines are the same, and seemed disappointed that we couldn't help them fix major appliances." "The weirdest things I get now are the occasional people convinced that a pharmacy located in a grocery store can sell them mobility power chairs or just give them antibiotics without a prescription. Maybe somewhere in the world, my guy, but that's literally never been a thing in the US medical system." —jeffg4c54ea76d Related: 17."I had someone call my fire station and ask us to come fill up her pool. Her: 'I need you to come and fill up my pool, please.' Me: 'Uh, ma'am, we do not do that. We are a fire department.' Her: 'Well, who am I supposed to call to have my pool filled up? You guys have the water trucks.' Me: 'I am not totally sure, ma'am, but once again, we are a fire department. Our fire engines use their water for emergencies, not to fill pools.' Her: 'Well, my taxes pay for your salary and vehicles, so you need to come fill up my pool!' Me: 'I am sorry, but we cannot do that. Have a good day, ma'am.' It was ridiculous and hilarious. I could not believe the entitlement!" —u/OneHornyReddit 18."I work as a law clerk for a judge, and a scammer called my chambers, doing the classic 'I'm trying to reach the property owner for blah blah blah because you might be entitled to a government tax rebate.' I responded: 'This is the 15th Division of the First Circuit Court. You know that, right?' He hung up immediately." —u/Rodby 19."I was an associate working in the Cracker Barrel store, and a woman came in and was interested in one of our lamps. It was $100. She offered me $30 for it, and I told her I could only sell it at the ticketed price. She offered to go up to $50. I told her again that I could only sell it at the ticketed price. Her response: 'You need to be willing to negotiate. That's how flea markets work.' And then I had to explain, politely because she was a customer, that we were a regular retail store and not, in fact, a flea market. It took more explaining than it should have. She did not buy the lamp." —u/MidnighyAmethyst23 20."While working at Ulta, there was a guy in the store for, like, 10 minutes waiting while I tried to find something his girlfriend had put on hold, only to realize he meant to go to the shoe store next door. Until I asked him what his girlfriend had wanted and he said, 'Shoes,' he never once stopped to think about the fact that there was nothing even remotely resembling a shoe for sale in the entire store." —u/TarMiriel 21."I worked at Walmart for a long time in the hardware department. I once had a customer call asking if we sold toilets. I said, 'Like, toilet seats?' He said, 'No, like actual toilets.' So I said, 'Sorry, we just sell the seats and replacement parts — no porcelain.' He got all huffy and said, 'Jesus, what is this place? Walmart??' I paused momentarily and said, 'Yes, sir, it is.' Silence for a long moment. Then, he said, in a little voice, 'This isn't Home Depot?' 'No, sir, you called Walmart.' 'Oh crap, I am so sorry!' He hung up. I laughed my butt off." —u/StarBabyEleven 22."Had a guy INSIST that I made his sweet teas wrong yesterday. He said he had the cups from the day before to prove it. I work at Starbucks. This man pulls up to my window and confidently sets down two half-full McDonald's sweet teas. Sir, this is a Starbucks." —u/siouxxsiee 23."I was sitting in the waiting lounge of the service department at my car dealership getting an oil change when a red-faced man THREW the door open and stormed up to the service desk. He immediately started shouting and swearing about how he was sick and tired of the dealership and their crappy ways. He said: 'If I had known what a terrible business this was, I would've never bought a Volkswagen. I'm sorry I ever bought it.' The service advisor looked at him and said, 'The VW dealership is next door. This is a NISSAN dealership.' The man stood there for a second, processing. Then, he just let out a ROAR and ran out the door. Everyone looked at each other with wide eyes." —u/Javaman1960 24."I worked at a gas station when I was 19. People called to ask about the lottery, gas prices, etc. I always said the same thing when I answered, to make sure they knew which of our locations they had called, because there were quite a few nearby, and people got them mixed up. 'Thank you for calling [gas station] in [town]. My name is [name]. How can I help you today?' The phone rings. I recite my lines. The person asked, 'What do I need to get a library card?' I was perplexed, but I had literally just gotten one a week earlier, so technically, I did know. 'Um, I mean, when I got mine, I needed to show ID, but then I also needed a current piece of mail to reflect my current address.' A pause, as she recognized my confusion. 'Is this not the library in [town 45 MINUTES AWAY]?' 'No, this is a gas station.'" —ghcstxbcy Related: 25."I worked to-go at Ruby Tuesday, and countless people came in yelling about their food. These were my favorite two: 1. A man was PISSED we didn't have his food ready and just immediately started yelling at me. I politely asked what he ordered and said I'd get it ready ASAP. He started listing menu items we don't have, and on a hunch, I said, 'Did you mean to go to Applebees?' He said, 'Yeah. Where am I?' 'Not Applebees,' I said. 2. A guest was mad about their order, which we didn't have any record of, and swore up and down that they spoke to someone on the phone to confirm. I asked for the phone number he called to confirm. He called a city in Colorado with the same name. We were in Maryland. Neither one apologized." —google_118227220763140986694 26."A lady I used to work with was sent to go get breakfast for the office. She was told to go to McDonald's and get a bunch of sausage biscuits or something. She goes through the drive-thru and orders. The price was over $100, and she didn't think that was quite right, so she finally put it together that she was not, in fact, at McDonald's. She was at Starbucks. She never goes to Starbucks as it is, but they were also pretty far apart and don't look even remotely similar. It was pretty funny." —jelyselauren 27."I used to work for Kmart. Someone came into the store and wanted to know where the pet department was located. We only had one aisle of pet items, and it was mostly items for dogs and cats (food, litter, toys, etc.). I took the customer to the aisle, and they said, 'This is it? This is all you have for pet supplies? You don't have an actual department, like other stores?' I said, 'Yes, sir. We just carry the basics. If you need a bigger selection, there is a Pet Supplies Plus located at the other end of the plaza.' The customer got upset and said, 'But if I wanted to go to Pet Supplies Plus, I would have gone there. But I wanted to go to Kmart. So, I'm guessing you don't have fish food or anything like that?' I showed him the same selection of fish food, and he got upset." "He then started asking for advice on fish tanks, and again, I directed him to the Pet Supplies Plus that was located just a couple of storefronts down from Kmart. When he insisted on not going to that store, I gave him directions to two other pet stores in the area. Eventually, he left, but not before saying, 'This is why Kmart is going out of business!' Sure, buddy, the lack of a pet department is the sole reason Kmart is going out of business." —u/DannyC990 28."I was working at McDonald's, and this lady said, 'Can I get the Wendy's 4 for 4?' I said, 'Ma'am, this is a McDonald's,' and without a moment's hesitation, she replied, 'Indeed it is. Can I get a Big Mac?'" —u/lukemercer 29."I used to work at Ulta, and I had someone get super upset that I couldn't sell them a Sephora gift card. Even after explaining in multiple ways that we were two different companies, they were convinced I was just refusing them because I could. It was bizarre." —u/TarMiriel 30."My husband asks for a Whopper every time we go to Whataburger, and it never fails to crack me up. 💀 I just let him do it too because it is so genuine and I love hearing them say they don't do Whoppers there, LOL." —kimbabe20 "I was in Lowe's one morning right after they opened. A woman at the service desk was having a complete meltdown, yelling and screaming because Lowe's didn't have a licensed contractor there at the store for her to hire. She apparently woke up that morning and decided she needed a deck that same day, and she thought she could just go to Lowe's and have someone start building a deck immediately. It was dead, so I stood with the cashier listening to the show. They had to call the police to get her to leave." —u/DasGoat Have you ever witnessed (or had your own) "Sir, this is a Wendy's" moment?
