Some back story for you first. I live in a village in England. A TINY village with a duck pond and a church that looks like a victorian painting. My pharmacy is over 100 years old and the only other shops in the village are a gas station and a small convienance shop. So we're talking TINY here.
Guy comes in to the pharmacy dressed in a suit and carrying breifcase just oozing 'the big I AM' vibes. Immediatly I know he's come off the motorway from London and is lost. This happens a lot.
GUY: Hey there I'm looking for Classic carpeat factory, says here it's on ___road
ME: Sorry there's no factory in this village you must be mistaken
GUY:....sorry but no way am I mistaken I have the address right here 100___road
ME :....___ road is residential houses from number 30 - 50, no factory has ever been there.
GUY: Ok can you get me someone else here to help me
ME: There is no one else here and I have lived in 32___ road for 25 years and I think that might just mean that I know what I'm talking about
GUY: ... Right, there's a MAN over the road I'll ask him
- The way he said MAN was so obvious that silly women know nothing -
I went back to my work chuckling to myself over how big city types can't stand being wrong and wonder how I missed my neighbours building a carpeat factory under my nose. I thought that would be it but nooo he comes BACK!
GUY: OK OK there's no factory in ___ road
ME .....right?
GUY: ......... - silent -
ME : and what else can I do for you?
GUY: Where's the bank?
ME: there is no bank here
GUY:...ok take out resturant?
ME: not one of those either. This village has a Pharmacy, gas station and a small shop selling newspapers and some snack foods.
GUY: jesus what sort of place is this?
ME: A village
He was just so up his own A$$ it was un believable.
