There has been two instances in which a customer asked me if I wanted to see the ugliest thing I have ever seen.
The first was in a dilapidated apartment complex. I forget what the problem was, but the customer was in the center of the room in a wheel chair. She asked the question. I was stunned, and worried what I was about to see next, when she lifted her shirt up. In between her bra cups, was a kind of gap. Where the sternum should be was a soft spot, and you could see her heart or organs moving behind it. The lighting of the room made her pale skin take on a greenish hue.
The second time was pretty cool actually. Two people in chairs wave me in the front door. They were like the grandparents in Willy Wonka, and didn't get up...seeming to live in the chairs. They had mini fridges nearby.
Their issue was the his and hers televisions. If she changed the channel to her tv on the right side of the room, his tv on the left side would change channels also. For the fix I cut up some soda boxes they had, and made an infrared directional tube to direct only their remotes at their tvs. While fixing I was standing next to an empty terrarium. Noticing my puzzled look, the man told me. "Ya, I had a pet cobra."
I look at him.
Without any sign of sarcasm. "He's around here somewhere, let me know if you see him."
I about flip out. I'm looking all over for the hiding cobra, and both he and her start laughing.
That is when she asks. I tell them, "I've seen some ugly things. I don't know if I do or not."
She points me over to a salt water aquarium. Inside was one of those large sucker fish, and it had tentacles all over its head.
I smile. "Nope, not the ugliest thing I've ever seen."
