The Ticket To A Productive Conversation
(I see a voucher in a magazine offering two free tickets for a specific movie. I decide to go by myself.)
Me: *hands the voucher to the ticket clerk* “One ticket for [Film], please.”
Ticket Clerk: *looks at voucher* “This is for two tickets.”
Me: “Yes, but I only need one.”
Ticket Clerk: “But the voucher says two tickets.”
Me: “I know, but I’ve come all alone. Just one ticket for me, please.”
Ticket Clerk: “But it’s for TWO tickets!”
Me: *giving up* “Fine, just give me two tickets for [Film], but I’ll only use one, okay?”
Ticket Clerk: “Oh. Just one ticket for [Film], then.”
