Kooky Client Call

[billdeserthills]

I received this phone call yesterday:
Lady Caller: "I need my home rekeyed right away, I live by the fire station*, can you come right now?"
Bill : "Of course I can, I will be happy to help you"
Lady Caller: "Well, tell me when you can get here
Bill : "You haven't told me where you live?"
Lady Caller: "Well if your gonna be like that about it, I will just call someone else!"


* there are 5 or more fire stations inside my normal route

Guess she didn't need it rekeyed that badly....

Do you also run a psychic hotline, Bill? If so, then she may expect you to already know where she lives.

I get some like that too.

When we used to do car work, I would ask where is the car located. The answer would be in my driveway or in my garage. So I would play along, ask what colour the car was; ask 2 or 4 door; etc. all the normal stuff. Then without skipping a beat I would get a bit more specific; does it have tinted windows; cloth or vinyl interior; CD player; are all the tyres of the same manufacturer... Most people would stop me before I got this far but a few would keep right on answering, even had a couple go outside and check the tyres!

One reason I don't do car work. Although I did make keys to a 1958 Studebaker yesterday because the customer dropped the locks off at the shop. They were surprised when I pulled a NOS ignition cylinder off the shelf.

Guy walks into the hardware store and says "I need an extension cord"...I ask "how long" he says "no, I want to keep it"

You should finish with, "I'll give you $5k for it and that's my final offer!"
