Happy PTLBOTT Day!
(I work at a restaurant outside a national park. Our busiest season is the fall, when the leaves change.)
Me: “[Restaurant], how may I help you?”
Caller: “Yes, are you outside?”
Me: “No, ma’am, I’m in an office. Is there anything I can do for you?”
Caller: “Well, do you know when the leaves change out there?”
Me: “Yes, they’re changing now. They’re very beautiful.”
Caller: “What?! We missed it!”
Me: “No, ma’am, the leaves aren’t done changing.”
Caller: “Well, we live in New York and won’t be able to make it there today. What day do they change back?”
Me: “Um… they don’t change back. They fall, like the season.”
Caller: “Well, when do you put them back on the tree?”
Me: *gives up* “Er… ‘Put The Leaves Back On The Trees’ Day?”
Caller: “Oh, thank you!”
