a lady at the front of some shop ( she worked there ) said something to me, I got closer and said “pardon”, she muttered something again, I said “sorry what ?” She said “would you like a free hearing test today ?”

She 100% thought you were trying to be funny. How annoying that all those unoriginal jokes wore her out before your legitimate funny situation landed.

Source: Worked in customer service for a while. Hearing the same "funny" repeatedly was a bit of a trigger for me. Turns out I don't suit that role, as evidenced by accumulating more written warnings than anyone in the store's history. Turns out they're bluffing with that "3 written warnings" rule by the way. I had over a dozen. Ended up quitting because if I could not bare the thought of hearing the "Cheque, savings, or credit?"...."Savings... MORE LIKE SPENDINGS, AMIRIGHT? WOOOOOO" joke one more time......
