Coffee Table Declarations
Wednesday, January 21, 2004
Things that made me laugh today:
1. I stopped to get a muffin on the way to work this morning and there was a sign outside that said in two separate, distinct sentences: "Parking for Customers. While Shopping in Store Only." I wonder if they've had some trouble in the past with people saying "But I AM a customer. No I wasn't in the store at the time, but I do go in on occasion."
2. A little girl called and said very politely, "Hi, I'd like to speak to my daddy please." Um... "O.K. Honey, what's your daddy's name?" to which she replied with his first name, Mike. As if we don't have a dozen Mikes here. How cute is that?
3. A case of mistaken identity - someone just called from our biggest client and one of my coworkers said excitedly, "oh, I'll talk to him!" I handed her the phone and she chatted animatedly for a couple of minutes ("hey, how are you doing? I thought of you this weekend when I saw the football game - did you go?" etc.) After she handed the phone back to me and I transferred the call, she looked at me in all seriousness and said, "Um, I have no idea who that was." Whoops!
