First Ocean To The Right, Then Straight On ‘Til Drowning
Me: “How can I help you today, sir?”
Man: “What’s the quickest way to get to Hawaii?”
Me: “…probably via Vancouver International Airport.”
Man: “What?”
Me: “Look, I’m sorry, I’m not actually a travel agent. I can put you in touch with someone who can book you a flight–”
Man: “I don’t wanna fly there! I could’ve done that from Seattle! I’m going to drive.”
Me: “Over more than twenty-five hundred miles of ocean?”
Man: “You can’t fool me. I know it’s not that far. Besides, it’s much cheaper to fly there through the Canadian part of America.”
Me: “No, Canada’s not–”
Man: “I’m gonna report you for being unhelpful, missy. Now give me god**** directions to Hawaii if you don’t want your a** fired.”
Me: “Turn left on to any pier you come across, and then drive straight on, You’ll get there eventually, and don’t worry about the water. You can probably sue for damages.”
(Amazingly, he left, perfectly happy with my directions to essentially drown himself.)
