MountainWings A MountainWings Moment
#8275 Wings Over The Mountains of Life
Radio Shack
========
Do those guys at Radio Shack ever get on your nerves, asking
you for a bunch of personal data when you're just there to buy
something as simple as a couple AA batteries? I think we should
inconvenience these people as much as they do us. A while ago I
was in Radio Shack buying a printer cable adapter and the guy
asked me for my name.
"Ghosseindhatsghabyfaird-Johnson," I replied.
(blank look of confusion)
"How do you spell that?" he asked, obviously not wanting to
know.
"With a hyphen," I clarified.
"Once more?" he asked.
"Ghosseindhatsghabyfaird-Johnson"
"Could you please spell that?" he asked, glancing at the half
dozen people waiting behind me.
"Oh ... just like it sounds," I said nonchalantly.
Putting down "Johnson," he went on and asked about the address.
"Washburn, Wisconsin, 14701 N.E. Wachatanoobee Parkway, Complex
3, Building O, Appt. 1382b," I replied.
Almost through writing all this down, I said, "Or did you mean
current address?"
Stopping, he said, (becoming irritated) "Yes. Current address."
"Diluthian Heights, Mississippi, 1372 S. Tinatonabee Avenue,
Building 14C, Suite 2, Box 138201," I replied quite slowly.
Waiting until he finished I said, "No, wait, it's NORTH
Tinatonabee Avenue." Annoyed, he backed up and changed it.
"I think," I interjected.
"And is all this correct?" he asked in a standard manner.
"Of course not," I replied, leaving, "If you want my REAL name
and address, look at the credit card receipt."
A little mean, I must admit, but no jury would convict me ...
at least, none that had been to Radio Shack.
from The Mountain:
This is of course a joke. We don't recommend or condone such
behavior at Radio Shack or at 14701 N.E. Wachatanoobee Parkway.
