Unreasonable people......

Off the back of an earlier post on Kung Fu mandas blog, I thought I would post it here and see who else has had rather unreasonable requests!!

I had a surreal call todayit went a bit like
good morning Machinery, christian speaking

(man) I would like to change my advert

(ME) and what advert would this be sir

(man) my advert......

(me) which is?.......

(man) the one ive made......

(me) ok, can you tell me what issue it is going into

(man)Machinery

(me) yes I know that sir but what issue

(man)the issue of machinery

anyhoo this went on and did nothing to help my opinion on some northern people......

we also entered a realm of

what company are you calling from...Its my company.......yes what company is that.....My company!!!

at which point I was verging on cerebral collapse!!

finally after 10 minutes of sesame street level conversation I finally managed to work out it was Februarys issue

(man) yes thats it February issue

(me) so you wish to change your advert that ran in February

(man) yes we dont like it

(me) and what issue will this new advert being into(i asked with a sense of dread)

(man) that issue, we just dont like the colours

(me) so you wish to change the artwork on a publication that is already printed....

(man) yes....can you not do that

(me) I may be able to do a lot of things sir, but disturb the fabric of space and time is not one of them

(man)I thought you may be able to, our designers in wales said you could

(me) well i am sorry but they are welsh and therefore not very bright...

(man..slightly giggling) so you dont like wales then.....

(me) not especially no...

(man...laughing) well I am on speaker phone and they are here!!

(me) well the only good thing to come out of wales is my driving licence..

at which point the man fell about and I heard some swearing

anyhoo

Anyone else had any stupid requests?
