I See Dumb People
The low end of of the Gene pool has been out in force this week and sometimes it just makes my head hurt.
The Little Old Lady: First, my greenhouse is down the alley now and yes, some people do not like walking all that way and will drive down the alley and park there, but this lady? She almost parked IN my greenhouse!
People had to squeeze between her car and my plant carts, so I had to move the carts, because she was shopping. Finally she was done and was leaving, but instead of going out the other end of the alley, she decided to turn around in the alley. Me and the Mechanic from down the block just rolled our eyes and I showed him the plants he was looking for. A few minutes later I hear a noise, someone knocking on something and I look out my gate and the LOL is still there and pounding on her window.
Her batery died and she in now trapped in her locked car.
That's right the door is locked and she is traped IN her car. I get the mechanic and we try to tell her how to unlock her door, but she is in a panic and just keeps hitting the button. Finally he gets her calm enough to slide the door lock and we open the door. He pops the hood sees that her battery is corroded, wacks it a few times with a wrench and it works.
The garbage truck: It came to dump our cardboard bin and one of the big lawnmower boxes did not want to go, so he had to dump it three times to get it and as he started to put the bin back I had a guy walks behind the huge garbage truck! I called to him, but he was all "They won't hit me! I'll Sue!"
That machine will squish you like a bug.
Yes, we have no tomatoes! Plant day was last Saturday and they cleaned me out. Now I am off on Monday and Tuesday, so I assumed that my micro-manager would order in new plants. He did, to be delivered Friday. So for the last four days it has been, "Sorry we are out." But one guy today takes the cake. He came to the greenhouse while I was inside the store, sees the shelves are empty, pulls out his cell phone and calls the store and wants to know where the tomatoes are? They page me and I go out and tell him we are out.
Well that is just unacceptable, he drove all the way from the town next door and we should not be out of them. He wants some right now!
Need help in Paint: I hate to hear those words during the spring planting season. I had one guy, when they called I told them I was with a customer. 10 minutes latter they call for help again. Sorry busy. Another 10 minutes and they send someone out to wait on my customer so I can go to paint and when I get in there, he has not even picked a color yet!
I have to stand there for almost 20 more minutes while he looks at every brown we got.
Another guy had a stain question, but he could not ask it over here, no we have to walk all the way to the other side of the store, rammble on for a couple minutes before we get to the question, "Can two colors of stain be mixed?"
Uh, yes.
Oh and I also had a phone call "Can I spray deck stain using my deck stain sprayer?"
