How about when you are still eating the waitress says...Do you need a box for that?DUH !!!!  or your glass is empty and they ask if you want more. "No, I think I'll just choke the rest of my food down, thank you." Here's your sign.... |

I actually WATCH a kid blow out a tire on his truck yesterday, limp it off the road to the Walmart parking lot where the tread came COMPLETELY off the road. Being a former paramedic, I stopped with him and asked if he needed any help, and he said... I think I might have just got a flat tire, what do you think... (Umm, the tread is lying across the parking lot... I really think your other 3 tires just swelled up... Jeff Foxworthy moment again!) |

I am going to my annual ski patrol training class, and am absolutely positive that I will hear dumb questions all day... like "what happened to your arm?" Well, let me think... I broke two years ago while skiing... and have spent the last 19 months going through doctors and therapies to repair the damage. (So I plan to wear my T-shirt that shows the little AOL type guy falling down... and says I DO ALL MY OWN STUNTS) ;D Maybe they will ignore me?  I HATE THIS TRAINING DAY. I am thrust into 8 hours of BOX people whom I care very little about and get sick of all their snobby attitudes. GRRR! Send my some prayers. THIS IS NOT A DUMB QUESTION SINCE I KNOW YOU ALL WILL PRAY FOR ME  |

working at a radio station and closely with the sales stalf provides me with lots and lots of stupid questions. we had a storm one day and lightning struck the tower and the electric pole and the lights went out. dave (a sales person) said did we run out of power?? to which bob our engineer responded with " yeah that dang electric company, we got some on back order but it isnt here yet." or like the other day we were installing carpet and i wore jeans and my kjpw shirt, dave asked me when i walked in " hey dan are you working today?, i told him no i just like to hang out on my days off.
i made this joke up about him cause he does this stuff all the time its,, how many daves does it take to screw in a light bulb... answer... er... whats a lightbulb

Kaiti... I get that stuff too, since I work for a school district. I think people pick up the phone bood, look up the School District numbers and call the first one they see.
Example: I answer the phone, "Department of Technology Services" ,
and get: "Is this XXX school?"
"Um, did I answer the phone XXX school?" DUH! Here's your sign...

I have been getting phone calls almost weekly from the Police Chiefs Association. Can we count on your support for the police chiefs? This thread inspired me! Last night I said, "Yup, I can tell you guys are really bored on a Saturday night with nothing to do, so I am gonna go commit a crime and let you do your JOB instead of making phone calls!"  He stammered for a minute and then I told him to put me on the DO NOT CALL LIST... AGAIN. Not like I haven't told him that before. And then I told him the other thing he can do is go looking for the bad guy who keeps SELLING the do not call list back to the Police as a CALL LIST! He apologized, I laughed and told him to have a fun evening! |

This isn't a question, but these phone conversations reminded me of it. Several years ago, we had a small amount of money invested in stocks so we would sometimes get phone calls asking us to invest in a certain one. (If they knew how little we had invested, they wouldn't bother soliciting.) On one such occasion, the man asked for my husband, and I said, "He's busy, may I take a message?" His reply was "I'm busy too." I wanted to say "Well, I'll save you some time" and hang up on him, but I didn't.

That reminds me, I got sucked into a subscription because when the telemarketer asked is this *******at *******, I said yes, well, that confirmed my subscription, even though I wasn't asked if I wanted one  Oh the kids finally realized to ask if they MAY go to the bathroom. Can I go to the bathroom? usually gets a "I hope so" response. |
