How you no understand?

[Bubsy]

This is not so much sucky, but it made me laugh, so here it is!

Ok, so for those of you who don't know I'm a receptionist at a social club, for the story's sake let's call it the Archie Football Club.

List of characters.

Me:
SC: Old man with strong accent
IG: Insurance Guy
IGCW: Insurance Guy's Co-Worker

SC approaches my desk holding the membership card for an insurance company (NRMA) and shoves it in my face.

SC: NRMA!!
Me: <blank stare>
SC: NRMA!!!!!!!
Me: What about them?
SC: <suddenly learning how to speak full sentences> my car broke down outside and I need to call NRMA.
Me: No worries <so I call the number on the back of his card & transfer the call to phone for members to use for incoming calls>

About 5 mins later SC approaches me again, forgetting how to speak normally again.

SC: Street!!
Me: What?
SC: Street! What street!
Me: Oh, we're on Smith St.

He goes away & comes back a few seconds later.

SC: Idiots! You tell them!!
Me: Ok... <I pick up the phone> Hello Bubsy Speaking?
IG: Hey what street are you on?
Me: Smith st.
IG: How do you spell that?
Me: Serious? Ok S. M. I. T. H.
IG: Oh! <giggles a little> umm... I can't find any Garagie on or near Smith st? How to you spell Garagie?
Me: It's Archie, A. R. C. H. I. E.
IGCW:<heard yelling the background> G'DAY MATE!! WELCOME TO AUSTRALIA!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
IG: <laughing> Thanks so much, I'm really sorry, we just couldn't understand him.
Me: <in full earshot of SC> No, it's ok, I couldn't understand him either, don't worry.
IG: Thanks again, we'll be there shortly.
Me: Thanks. <to SC> They will be here shortly.
SC: HAHA! Idiots! How they no understand Garagie?!

I just smile & walked away.

Huh, must be related to the woman that asked me for directions today. She had directions and a store name for a job interview she said she was here for, but I couldn't read her writing nor really understand her accent. I only got that she was applying for a medical position, which is weird because the address was ours but we have no doctors; only an eyeglass store and a pharmacy and eye center in another. I assumed she wanted the 2nd store and told her she might try there.

Seriously, how do you go to a job interview not knowing the name of the store you're applying to, or where it is!? Plus, she was in shorts and a t-shirt. Not sure if that's the look they're going for.

Well, at least the SC wasn't complaining about his hovercraft being full of eels...

..And now for something completely different.
