Home Improvement, P.I.
Me: “Hello, can I help you with anything?”
Customer: “I need a garage door.”
Me: “Okay, our garage doors are back in the millwork department.”
Customer: “No! I don’t need a garage door.”
Me: “All right… what is it that you need?”
Customer: “I need a garage door!”
Me: “All of our garage door stuff is back in millwork.”
Customer: “But I don’t want a garage door!”
Me: “Is this a door inside your garage?”
Customer: “Yes.”
Me: “Well, all of our doors are going to be back in millwork as well.”
Customer: “BUT I DON’T NEED A GARAGE DOOR!”
Me: “Well, then what is it that you are looking for?”
Customer: “I need a garage door.”
(Hearing the commotion, a coworker shows up.)
Coworker: “Ma’am, what does this item do that you are looking for?”
Customer: “It does this…” *makes a slow opening motion with hand*
Me: “So is it on the door inside your garage?”
Customer: “Yes.”
Me: “Well, what does it do?”
Customer: “It does this…” *makes the same hand motion*
Coworker: “What exactly does this do?”
Customer: “It keeps the wind out.”
Me: “Okay… is it weather stripping?”
Customer: “No.”
Coworker: “Does it keep the door shut?”
Customer: “Yes. I think it’s a spring!”
