Dear Lord, Help Us

To give those who don't know the proper update, Caroline and I work together at the lovley World Collision! Yaya, how wonderful.

The other day, when the heavens had parted and the rain fell down from the sky (or however it goes, I'm not sure. Forgive me, my religious background is escapingly small) Caroline had answered a phone call sometime around 2:15pm. With my back to her, working on absolutley nothing, I over heard her conversation with this "customer."

The conversation, with little to no exaggeration, went something like this:
Caroline: Good Afternoon, World Collision.
Customer: ------- (remember, I cant hear what this guy is saying)
Caroline: Sure, how do you spell your last name?
Customer: --------
Caroline: Sir, you don't know how to spell your last name?
Customer:---------
(by this time I had grown more interested in the conversation and stopped my "work"[which I still need to point out, its nothing work] and started to listen to the "special" conversation)
Caroline: Sir, I cannot help you if you don't know how to spell your last name.
Customer: -------(im assuming now this guy can't even speak english, or is just dumb as a rock)
Caroline: Okay, well sir, whats your last name start with?
Customer: ------------

By the end of the 45 minute escapade, Caroline finally hung up the phone with a bit of grief and ended up finding out that the guys last name started with a "B".

Please, someone, come save us!!!!

Yeah kebler said the same thing to me the other day. Along the lines of if you can speak or understand english whats the point of working or living in this country if you arent going to make the effort to be a part of its culture. Too many people think that this country should bend to their will and that they shouldnt bend to what is already established. On a more positive note our awesome GM has me and scott re-inspecting about 30-40 used cars for free...ohh the joys of world toyota

i can see caroline taking that call. if it were me, i would pretend to speak back to the guy in his own language.

"Deet deet doodledeet doot? Sblacka flipdang doogidy do! Have a good day sir."

but then again, that may be why i don't work in customer service. get back to work, sam, or i'm calling your dad.
