This shit happens all the time:
SC: "HEY!"
Me: *ignoring*
SC: "HEY!"
Me: *Still ignoring*
SC: "Excuse me!"
Finally something that is at least semi-polite
Me: "Yes?"
SC: *Waving hand above head in a circular motion*
Me: "What do you need?"
SC: *Continues waving arm frantically*
Me: "WHAT do you NEED!?"
SC: "TURN THE FAN ON!"
Me: ".....one minute...."
Or they'll buzz the intercom at their lane, and do the same thing... they expect me to look up at them when I'm doing 4 things at the same time, so they refuse to speak into the intercom they just decided to use.
Or, my other "favorites".
I'll use lane 46 as an example, though it could be any number between 1 and 64
*Intercom buzzes*
Me: "Lane 46"
*silence*
Me "Yes, lane 46, did you need help?"
SC: *screaming* "BALL!!!!"
Me: *OW!* "What?"
SC: "BALL!!"
Me: "What exactly do you need!"
SC: "BALL RETURN!!!!"
Basically the ball didn't come back after they threw it, it's a common problem and easy to fix.
Me: *sigh* "ok...."
Last one:
ME: *not paying complete attention to the lanes because I'm writing up a receipt, or doing a payment in the computer... or I'm playing solitaire*
SC: "ONE EIGHTY!"
Another common problem, the pinsetter wipes the pins away but then gets stuck and won't reset. Also note that they are yelling this at me from their lane, instead of coming up to me. They didn't even bother to say "Excuse me", nor did they give me any useful information... like say, what lane they are on.
Me: *looking up trying to figure out where the noise came from.*
SC: "ONE EIGHTY!!!!"
Me: *I finally see the person that is yelling at me, and I see the problem, but the lane is at an awkward angle to me so I can't quite read the lane number up*
Me: "What lane!?"
SC: *points at their lane* " ONE EIGHTY!"
Me: "What's the lane number!?"
SC: "ONE EIGHTY! FORTY SIX!!!"
Wow... was that so hard?
Really, if you have the ability to speak, please use more than two syllables at a time, and do not gesture frantically at me... I may know some sign language, but you're just making yourself look like an idiot.
