MM, would you be interested in stories about crazy people and the service they demand from co-workers?

MM, would you be interested in stories about crazy people and the service they demand from co-workers?
Sure. Any story relating to customer service, primarily from an employee's POV is appreciated. Because it's not just the customers that make the job suck, though they are the prime Suck Factor.

Speaking of the customer sucking...
If any of you CS wonks like me have any examples of being fucked over by the old "The customer is always right" adage, send 'em my way. I know they're out there. Management failing to support you, customers throwing that ol' workhorse up as holy writ, whatever.

Yes, Toddson, I have. It's informing part of that section. I think.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I propose a new phrase to replace, "the customer is always right."
We'll bend over backwards for you. But we won't bend over frontwards.
