I = Idiot on phone
M = Me
Danny = one of my co-workers
No timebending ability:
I: Can I speak to your manager?
M: No sir, he's not here.
I: Well, why not?
M: Because it's three in the morning.
I: No it's not.
M: Sir, I'm looking at a clock, I assure you, it's three in the morning.
Trivia time:
I: What's the sequel to "The Bourne Identity"?
M: Um... "The Bourne Supremacy"
I: Oh, thanks.
(Possibly the same idiot, hours later)
I: What's the state dog of South Carolina?
Danny: I don't know.
I: Could you look it up for me?
Danny: Ummm... sure. *checks google* The Boykin Spaniel.
I: Wow, thanks. And how about...
Danny: Excuse me, ma'am, but I have to get back to work, so unless this is related to printing job you want to place with us, I have to go.
Unclear on the concept:
I: How much are 100 color copies?
Me: $89 plus tax.
I: That's impossible. I had some printing just done there and it was $10.
Me: Well sir, 100 black and white copies on colored paper would be $10 plus tax.
I: No, it was colored ink on white paper.
Me: And you were only charged $10?
I: Yeah, I got 10 copies.
Me: Well, that would be $8.90 plus tax.
I: But I need 100 copies now.
Me: Okay, that would be $89 plus tax.
I: That's outrageous! *hangs up*
Wrong side of town:
I: Did you know your other store is closed?
Me: Yes sir, I did. It's been closing nights for a few years now.
I: No it hasn't.
Me: Pardon me?
I: I was there the other night until four or five in the morning, they were open the whole time.
Me: Well sir, they started closing nights back in the beginning of 2001, so I don't know what to tell you. This location is open 24 hours, so if you want to come to us, we're right downtown...
I: Damnit, that's where I am!
Me: Sir?
I: I'm at your store, and you're closed!
Me: Sir, the store is open. I have customers in here right now.
I: No you don't! The lights are off in the store.
Me: Sir, which store are you in front of?
I: The one out on Harbison.
Me: Okay, they're closed. I'm at the downtown store.
I: What?
Me: The downtown store. We're near the USC campus, the statehouse...
I: Now you're telling me I'm at the wrong store?
