Wait until you meet an Adasha whose name is spelled a-a. Think you'd just get that right from hearing it?

Ha ha. BIL is an anesthesiologist. He told me he once had a patient whose name was spelled "La-a." He pronounced it "Ladasha." She corrected him "Ladaasha."

I was overhauling some equipment in a smallish city in Alberta and was having some parts shipped to the Greyhound depot a block or two from the work site.
Our parts guy would drop the parts at Greyhound express to make sure that it would be on the bus so I would have my parts in the morning.
Get to the desk. Ask do you have a package for me (hold at depot).
No.
Call parts guy.
Should be there.
Go back to counter. Tell them it should be here.
They tell me to go on back and look for myself.
Found the parts I needed and also some parts for a job at a nearby military base that another mechanic was waiting for.
After that they just let me into the package warehouse to look for myself.
Crazy....

About 15 years ago I bought a pair of NOS 356 fenders. The seller suggested Greyhound. All seemed fine. A week went by, then most of a second. I called Greyhound, nothing. They told me they'd call when they had them. I called the seller. Where were my fenders? Said he'd shipped them long ago. Called Greyhound again. And again. Said they didn't have them and there was nothing they could do. And the seller. He was upset, I was upset. Got a copy of the shipping receipt from him. Finally went down to the Greyhound depot. Asked the girl behind the counter for my package. She said they didn't have it.

Now here is the funny part. As I'm talking to the girl behind the counter, I can see a giant box sitting there, 6 feet behind her, with my name, address, and phone number on it in big magic marker letters. When I pointed this out to her, she turned around, looked, and said , Oh I guess it is here. She'd been tripping over it for 10 days. Some days you just have to shake your head in wonder.

Ggneral IQ follows a normal distribution. People on the left need jobs too, and the inability to spell may not related to education.

I only get frustrated by lazy and ignorant people. I can accept dim-witted, as many people view me the same way.

I had a waitress the other night by the name of Mercedes. I told her "oh, I drive Porsches so we must be friends!" She didn't get it (and I didn't think she would anyways).

Then the other night a bartender with Kardashian features named Michelin. Elton Johns' "Island Girl" came to mind with that one.

Well she's black as coal, but she burn like a fire
And she wrap herself around you like a well-worn tire

All these replies have been about the inept counter person or the GH service. No one has commented on the price deal he got. That is the real positive to the story.

Compared to most of the riders on Greyhound...he is good. I have taken Greyhound across the states and it's a real eye-opener!

I took a Greyhound down to Ft Lauderdale back in '05 to pick up my tub.....it took a while to get down there because of all the stops but it was the easiest way to bring back my acquisition.....

Drove her back on I-95....that was a blast!
