Completely (Pea)Nuts
(I’m working in my office when I hear a loud voice outside. I go to check it out as sometimes interested clients can’t find the office easily. A middle-aged man wearing short shorts and knee-high socks walks towards me.)
Me: “Hi, can I help you? Are you interested in making a booking?”
Customer: “No, I’m here to sell you a stuffed elephant’s head. I’ve visited this place before, so I thought of you at once.”
Me: “Uh… thank you, but we don’t have a need for an elephant’s head.”
Customer: “Yeah, fine. I will drop it off now; please pay cash!”
Me: “Please don’t drop it off. We don’t want it. It would not match our decor.”
Customer: “But there’s a lamp on top of it, and the trunk can be used as a fountain. Just buy it! I’m moving and I don’t have the space! I’ll drop it off now.”
Me: “No, we don’t want it. Please try to sell it to someone else.”
Customer: “Just buy it! I don’t have the space for it! I can’t believe this! Why would anyone not buy it? Fine! I’ll go somewhere else! I’m never booking here again!” *storms off*
