Customers from Hell
The customer is always right. And yet, as 'listentomyopinion' writes, this is utter bollocks.
Tell us of the customers who were wrong, wrong, wrong but you still had to smile at (if only to take their money.)

Jim Davidson
I work in the entertainment industry, I do lights/sound/whatever. In 2003 I was stage managing a Jim Davidson gig.
He turned up 45 minutes late, with the support fella, I think they may have been drinking.
He took a look out a peephole into the audience, and saw two or three people in the front row who use wheelchairs. They weren't drooling mongs, they just had legs which didn't work for one reason or another. They had queued to get tickets, and they had even queued overnight to make sure they got front row tickets.
Mr Davidson requested that they be moved. A direct quote, "What are those fucking cripples doing in the front row?".
I send the house manager out to have a word, because he won't go on until they're moved to the back- we weren't happy about it, but bear in mind Jim Davidson fans are not the most relaxed people in the world anyway, and the auditorium had 2500 of them who had been waiting 45 longer than expected and were mostly drunk - and before she can say a word, one of the fellas in a wheelchair says, "I know what you're going to ask, and no we won't move, we paid for these tickets because we wanted to sit here."
Quite right.
Jim Davidson - "they don't know where they are anyway, they're just here so the helpers can get in free" gets back in his Merc and fucks off.
"Bugger", I said.
It's now 8.30pm, and the show was meant to start at 7.30pm.
I have approximately 2500 drunk, impatient, Plymothian Jim Davidson fans sitting on the other side of that curtain, and now I have to tell them that he won't be performing.
A sober Jim Davidson fan is bad enough. 2500 of the fuckers who have been drinking shit overpriced lager is a whole room full of unpleasantness. One of them tried to steal the sound desk.

What. A. Cunt.
Did you tell the fans why he'd gone?
Or was that something those wankers would have laughed at?

He's a cunt
Says Mr State the Bleedin' Obvious...
My Mum used to work behind the bar in a theatre; many, many moons ago. He 'chose' her as the special lady that would be escorting him home on the evening he did a show there. She chose to tell him to fuck off and die, thankyouverymuch.

I didn't tell them on the night, I didn't want to enter into conversation
And also, in case anyone had a go at the wheelchair users. But we told the papers the next day, and the TV reporters were ready for him at Swansea Queens theatre.
When he was doing the pantomime in Plymouth, he couldn't get any women to go home with him, so he hired some escorts.
That said, my friend Jo, to her eternal shame, slept with him during another pantomime run in another town. The stupid cow. She wouldn't even give me a second glance. Bah!
