"Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops"
Title says all, really. My favourite was a customer who bought a book of knitting patterns, and was then surprised that the bookshop didn't also sell wool and knitting needles. The bookseller explained that, if the shop sold all the items that were relevant to their books, then they would also have to stock items like gardening tools, sewing machines, cooking ingredients and paintbrushes. The customer's response to this was "What are you talking about? I don't need any of those things. I only need wool and knitting needles. I'm not going to knit with a paintbrush!"
