I just read all those and no one mentioned one the most common things I hear when I walk into a fish store. So it is usually a couple people and they find the tank kit they like. It has everything in it for a fish tank, except the fish. Now they go looking for fish to get the same flipping day. As I stand there listening, I hear the guy trying to explain the whole cycling process, which they do not understand at all. Oh and then they think they can just use tap water and fill the tank up and throw fish in. I can not count how many times I have heard this at a fish store. 
I think it sucks when I'm at the fish store and I see people buying all kinds of fish and the tank they will be putting them into the same day(last week saw a couple buy 2 nanocubes etc. and saltwater fish, the damn check wouldn't clear either LOL) , also when I go to someones house then find out that they have an empty tank and that all their fish "just died for no reason." For my story there was a guy that came in and was convinced that pacu were pirahna and was telling the employee, " come on I know they are illegal, you just keep saying they are called pacus so you guys don't get in trouble, I won't tell, but I know those are really illegal pirahna ! " What a dumbass! ?
so yesterday at work, this hick family red neck looking mullet wearing group came into the fish department and started looking around. in the back of my mind i knew something stupid was about to be said. at that time, i noticed a plastic betta container that the guy had in his arms. i noticed them looking at the rainbow sharks. so the guy looks at me and says, "i need one of those." my first thought was that he is NOT going to try to put this thing in a little plastic container. i then asked them, "you're not going to put it in THAT are you?" and the lady said, "well, yea." i took a deep breath. i said, "it's not going to live in that container." she said, "you mean to tell me that it won't live in there til we get home?" with the calmest voice i could possibly squeeze out at the time i said, "ma'am, we bag them up for you."
UGHHHHHHH!!!!!
this is only the first half! i'll spare you the rest!

then as i'm about to put that last twist onto the bag with the rubber band, the guy comes up to me and says, "he (his kid) changed his mind. he wants these over here." i took another deep breath in an attempt not to punch this guy in the face and say, "do you MIND?" LOL. so then i got them 4 neon tetras and told them "HAVE A NICE DAY!........(as i mumbled
)"GRRR.
