I'm not sure if this is a suck, or a brain burp...I'm not really sure what the hell this is.
Amongst my plethora of other jobs, I've worked as a sales associate/receptionist/general fall guy (or girl, as the case would have it) at a dealer for Xerox and HP printers and products.
In Florida, mind you.
As I was sitting at my desk one day, working hard (on Neopets, of course), I got a call from Mr. I Need It Now (who we'll call Needy for short).
So, the call goes something like this:
Me: *Rehearsed greeting*
Needy: Hi, Moxi, this is Mr. Needy, and I ordered some - *static* - in yet?
Me: I'm sorry, Needy, but could you repeat that? You're breaking up a bit.
Needy: I ordered toner. Is it in - *static*
Me: No, sir, you placed that order with us two days ago, so it'll be another four days or so -
Needy: Oh, that's all right, I thought maybe Bossman could - *static*
Me: ...Needy, you're really breaking up. Are you calling from a cellular?
Needy: Oh, yeah, I'm calling from Colorado.
Me: Colorado? What're you doing in Colorado? (Why do I ask these things?)
Needy: Hunting. I'm calling- *static* stand.
Me:
...Needy, did you just say you're calling from a deer stand in Colorado?
Needy: Yep. We're here for the week.
...Now, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say that -maybe- he intended to have someone else pick up the toner.
But calling from a deer stand in Colorado? Really? Really??
Hunting must be the dullest activity known to man, if you're calling me about toner.
