Me: “Thanks for calling [hotel], how can I help you?”
Customer: “I need a room next weekend. My kid has a swim meet down there.”
Me: “Okay. Rooms with two doubles are going for $135.”
Customer: “Give me a corporate rate on that room.”
Me: “Sir, corporate rates are for business travel. You just told me you were coming for a swim meet.”
Customer: “Well, uh, I sell swimsuits!”
Tech: Did you speak a lot of German?
Office girl, just back from England: Um, I don’t speak German.
Tech: Oh, so they all speak English over there?
Office girl: No, I just didn’t go to Germany.
(I work at a hotel where some of the rooms overlook the lake. I get a customer checked in and give him a key to a room over looking the lake, but he comes back to the front desk after 5 minutes.)
Customer: “This is unacceptable!”
Me: “Is there a problem, sir?”
Customer: “I went down there, and there is room 144, then 146, there is no 145!”
Me: “Sir, it’s on the other side of the hotel. You have to go through the hallway.”
Customer: “So I have to walk through someone else’s room?”
Me: “No, this room is on the lake side of the hotel.”
Customer: “The lake side? Well how do I get there? I don’t have a boat!”
New office girl: Oh! You just had to go and print on the noisy tractor-feed printer. Now I can’t hear my song!
(printer stops)
Old office girl #2: Is that…?
Old office girl #3: The Titanic Song?
Old office girl #2: Are you serious?
Old office girl #3: THIS is your song?
