Unfiltered Story #122115

(I work for the Village which basically takes care of the town and runs its operations.  We do not however take care of utilities)

Me: “Good morning Village of St. Joseph”

Customer: “Could you tell me if there is a fire hydrant in front of my house?”

Me: “I don’t have a list of fire hydrants and where they are located. You’d need to call the water company.”

Customer: “Oh so you don’t have a list?”

Me: “No, the water company might”

(I’m thinking in my head, but I don’t want to say it to him because I’m afraid he’ll be offended and yell at me, why don’t you just look and see if you have a fire hydrant outside of your house?)
