Is… Is That A Threat?
I’m working away at a busy service desk serving a line of customers. The phone is ringing, the register keeps getting stuck, it’s mayhem. Just as my anxiety is at its peak, I look over at a customer who’s appeared to my left, holding a vacuum cleaner above her head.
Customer: “Vultures, vultures!”
Me: “Ex… Excuse me?”
Customer: *Louder now* “VULTURES!”
Me: “I don’t understand, can you—”
Customer: “VULTURESSSSSSSSSS!”
Me: “…”
The customer then gave me a foul look and stormed away. It was only about twelve hours later in the shower that I realised she was actually saying, “Voltage,” which makes a lot more sense.
