Don't work some where like Walmart though, the stupidity gets higher (this was 10 years ago, but I think still would be the same).
Would be on the aisle next to the Milk, and customers ask "Where is the Milk?", and strangely, no matter whatever aisle I was on, I seemed to have receive this question. The thing is, there is a massive sign overhanging saying Milk which can be read anywhere in the store, and you would have to actively walk past a front-facing fridge of Milk to go down onto the aisle I would be working on (if it was the cereal aisle).
The thing is, it isn't simply "asking" as some sort of genuine question, it is sheer incompetence. It is not a case where I could politely just 'say' where it is "It is on the next Aisle, madam", or even point out the huge overhanging sign, or even the floor markings with braille. Any attempt to simply point them in the right direction is met with an expression that you just landed down from the planet Zorgrock and I am a blue alien with tentacles whipping about me. I had to physically almost hold their hand and show them. Obviously, there is no thank you or "silly of me, hehe", it was "grunt" then just stormed down the aisle all the while having to do a dung-eating grin.

One of the things which really rustles my jimmies as it were is when it comes to food. It always annoys me when some one cuts away the best part of the meal to discard it, and you are there eyeing it up on their plate, wishing you had it instead and it wasn't wasted on that person who doesn't appreciate the good things. Or they actually takes a nice part of the meal then give it to the dog, then they complain the dog isn't eating their dog-food. Or those people that start giving you lectures because you eat the skin from a chicken drumstick (instead of peeling and discarding it), even though it is covered in herbs and flavourings, making it one of the most delicious parts.
