Talk about lack of research

I just had to tell everyone about this.

I went to a lfs today, When I was talking to an employee, a woman walked up and asked the employee, “I want to get a nemo fish for my son, can I get one and just throw it in a 20 gallon fish tank with my goldfish?” wreck
When she fond out you cant she said “well can I get one of these?” (looking at other goldfish)
The employ said, “What other fish do you have in the tank?”
Lady said “ about 24 goldfish” o)
needles to say the employee told her that she needed to get rid of most of the fish. One more thing, the women thought “nemo fish” only cost $2.99
:yelrotflm

 

Good thing she asked the employee instead of just coming in and buying a clown!

 

That did happing one time. The employee said she sold a clown fish to a lady, and forgot to ask what kind of tank she had. The lady came back with a dead clown. The employee ask when it died, the lady said “I took it home, and put it in a betta bowl and it died in 30 minutes.” this lady was buying a “nemo fish” for her son.

 

lol people are so stupid sometimes

 

I need to know what she is dosing so my wallet can be that happy too

 

Maybe she’s “vodka dosing”

 

Anybody have some funny stories? (Only related to the hobby)

 

This always happens to me at the LFS where I work. Sometimes I even get asked if the SW fish that we have are real or battery operated:

 

my lfs guy was telling me about a guy that had a "salt" tank, and wanted some easy fish to take care of. LFS sold him a couple chromies, he comes back in the next day with dead chromies, and after a while of talking to the guy turns out he was using table salt to make the salt water
