work vignettes.

We have a spot for a driver's license number on all of our new client forms.
I commonly get asked, "Do you need my license number?"
No, that field is just there for you to leave blank.
...
Yes, we need your license number.


I like when people come into the office and don't come up to the counter at all.
(By saying 'like', I'm being sarcastic.)
Please come tell us who you are and why you're here.
Announcing your arrival is good practice.


We had a really nice man come in today.
He pronounced window like "win-der".
He was really sweet and it made me smile.


People sometimes have a hard time finding us.
We are kind of back off the road, but it's really not that difficult.  People don't seem to understand Google Maps.
(I actually just Google Maps'ed us, it gives a very accurate location.)
We'll often get calls from people on the road, lost.
It's usually not too bad, but we got one call -- actually, a few -- from a woman last week that was a directional nightmare.
She actually drove past us once and ended up on the wrong side of town.
I think she called a total of five times.  And was about 45 minutes late.
One time when she called I asked her where she was, and she said "Near the CVS".
...
Do you know how many CVS'es there are in this town?
We finally had to hold her hand and stay on the phone with her for about 10 minutes to direct her there.
Maybe it's just me, but I like to know where I'm going before I head out on the road. :)





On another note, our Halloween Horror Nights weekend was absolutely amazing.  It was like nothing I'd ever experienced!  So much fun, very scary; Universal Studios really knows how to do it right.  Can't wait to go back next year. :)  We went in a big group of 9 people, so it was 9 times as fun.  I definitely got scared, the haunted houses were super creepy!

LOL! I love you. I'm pretty sure we could be kindred spirits as far as weird customers go.

I once had someone come into my old coffee shop and asked if he could order a hamburger. And he was dead serious. Um.
