And You Thought The ED Commercials Were Bad

(I’m helping a male customer find an IDE cable for his PC.)

Me: “…and the cables are right here.”

Customer: “This is for a full tower case. What’s the longest cable you have?”

(I measure the largest cable I can find. I think it was twenty inches.)

Customer: “Oh, that’s a bit too short.”

Me: “Sorry, that’s the longest I have. What sort of length were you looking for? I might be able to order something…”

Customer: “I need about twenty-two inches. That’s the story of my life… always two inches too short!”

Me: *chuckles*

Customer: *turns bright red and leaves in a hurry*
