I often have to ring a local parts company to place orders at work, I've spoken to most of the guys there but rarely get the same person twice in a day.
I need to order a wiper blade, as I'm waiting for the phone to be answered I try to pull up the car details on my computer and realise, just as the phone is answered that I can't see them
Me -"Oh hi, well I wanted to order a wiper blade but I've just realised I don't know the reg so I'm just going to hang up and go and find it and then I'll ring back.
parts guy - ok,
me - bye then
parts guy -chuckles

Two mins later I ring back
Me -hi, it's sandra at bsm, if I give you a reg can you find me a wiper please?
same parts guy -chuckles - Go on then, I'll give it a go.
Me -registration blah blah
parts guy -you know that's a Ford?
me - oh for goodness sake, what are they even doing to me here? It needs to be a Seat
parts guy -let me try F instead of X - nope, that's a motorbike.
me - RIght, I'm going to go and find out this blooming registration and ring back, again.
parts guy - I love how you explained what you were doing, anyone else would just have hung up
me - well to be fair, I didn't expect you to pick the phone up the second time
parts guy - I'm going to wait for you to ring back too.

Five minutes later after chasing the sales exec for the right registration I ring back
Parts guy -why hello
me - First time caller ..
anyway, after all that they didn't even have the wiper blade!!

I used to spend most of my day onto parts suppliers and some I got on extremely well with.
One such supplier I rang, we greeted each other and I asked....
'I've got a valve in front of me, I havnt got the part number but it's got some stuff written on the side'
'Whattsit say?' Asked the supplier of our hydraulic spares....a good friend almost.
'Its got BO...then 440...i assume that's the voltage...then CK5'
'Don't recognise it' he said..'leave it with me and I'll have a dig'
'Cheers mate :okay:'

Now depending how you write your 4s...it can look like a letter L.

He rang me back several days later and I was greeted by an outburst of expletives:angry:
'I've been looking for that valve for days in catalogues...i just looked one last time at what you gave me....BO440CK5.'

:laugh::laugh::laugh: Gotcha :okay:

That's almost as good as the chap who goes into asda and asks the customer service lady to make an announcement for the owner of car registration

MrsPete just now... (honesty!!)
‘How do I send someone a photo on FB?’
Me: ‘Right click, send to’.. etc
Giant pause....
Me: ‘Where’s the photo?’
MrsPete ‘In the box in the cupboard’

Sometimes, just sometimes, I wonder :laugh:
So, take a photo of the photo and send THAT!

Yesterday I told my colleague that we were going to a bbq at my dad's place

Me: typical, it is the last day of the Tour De France and will miss it

S: why don't you watch it at your dads?

Me: because it would be rude

Erin came downstairs half an hour ago.

"Where's Marcus?"
Me. "Huh?"
"Well he's not in his bed and he's not on the couch."
me. "Marcus?"
"Yeah."
me. "Well I assume he's at home in bed sleeping."
"No because he was sleeping over here."
Me. "Erm, no he wasn't."
"Yeah he was. You can even check the counter."
Me. "The counter?"
"Yeah, what you count with."
Me. "Erin, are you sleep walking?"
"No. He was here sleeping."
Me. "No Erin, he really wasn't."
"Daaaaaaad! He was!"
Me. "Ok. Back to bed you go princess."

Frowny look and she tottled off back to bed.

I've never seen it till now but her mum told me about her sleepwalking in the past.
Wow! :eek:

I did that a few times when I was very young, 5 or 6. My mum tells me of one time I went downstairs opened the front door and peed on the doorstep.
