They're Everywhere


This is a real occurance.
Do not adjust your screen.

Remember the movie Sixth Sense? The little boy would say, "I see dead people"
Well I wish I saw dead people.
I am the lucky one who sees and hears stupid people.

 Read this like you are Jethro Bodine from the Beverly Hillbillies, “Can I just git me some of  that stuff you use on the tubs to do the bathtub myself?”

To clarify I asked him, “you want us to sell you our proprietary product so that you can save money and do it yourself - am I understanding you correctly?”

“yes, ma’am.”

“No sir we don’t do that I’m sorry. ”

Click.

Hell, not even a pleasant good bye and have a nice day?
I mean I deserved it, I didn’t laugh at him.

Are you kidding? Someone really did that?!!!

Margaret (Peggy or Peg too) said...

Oh Tina someone indeed did this to me yesterday. Numbnuts!!

I'm looking for a non-proprietary product that removes ass-clownery and shrinks idiocy. If you find one, let me know. I'll pay anything.

Margaret (Peggy or Peg too) said...

Bill - jeez I could make a killing with that invention couldn't I?

Mike said...

You should have said yes and sent him a bucket of white paint.

Margaret (Peggy or Peg too) said...

Mike - good one. Rick told me that I should have told him yes and then told him the price. But the price would be the price if we did it. That made me laugh too.

Rick's idea made me giggle harder than Jethro's question.

Margaret (Peggy or Peg too) said...

Arnebya - I wish I had thought of that myself that would have been a good one. I was just so shocked that he even asked me this to be honest with you.

Well can't blame a guy for trying. Oh wait...

Ms. A said...

I agree... THEY ARE EVERYWHERE!

well - I give him props for asking :D

Margaret (Peggy or Peg too) said...

props? really?
I'm stickin' with stupid.

Would you have the balls to ask your hairdresser for the color she uses on your hair? You know so you could do it yourself with the "good stuff" at home to save you the money and not pay her?
Carma you wouldn't do it even with big props. :-)

carma said...

agreed - but then I'm not an a$$backwards idiot like the one who called ;-)

Rick had the best idea ever - just read your comment about his suggestion. Charge him what you would have charged and he would not have known the difference.

Mamma has spoken said...

I would tell him to look for it at all Home Depot stores.....

Margaret (Peggy or Peg too) said...

Bonnie/Mamma- i should have!
That shit makes us soooo much money. At least 5 jobs a week just to redo. That costs more so you're right i certainly should have.
