Funny Phone call

So.. I'm answering phones yesterday at a certain exhaust company and a phone call rings in:

"Hello, is John there" << caller

"No he is not, may I take a message or help you out with a problem" << me

"can you tell him him George Hussey called" << caller

"George with AA correct" ??? << Me

"yes, Georger with AA" << caller

"No problem George, I'll tell him you called when he returns" <
I hung up laughing my ass off about what I wish I could have said to him. Unfortunately he buy's quite a bit from the exhaust company soo.. I cant exactly slam him on the phone.

A day full off wrong number calls from Kaiser people and good old George himself calls... LOL

It caught me by surprise. I was trying not to laugh.

Problem is: I have to be nice to everybody that calls no matter who it is.

OK, I know he wrote the 914 tech tips. And I've heard a few other snide remarks about him but, really, I'm in the dark. Anyone care to enlighten me?

Spare us the sore typing fingers and do a search for AA in the 914 archives. You'll be there a while.

Ask them about the layaway option for the steel 914 flares, they take yer money and you never get the flares.....

Oh, oh.....how about the "secret wharehouse"....that's a good one.....or the rust free original 914/6 with the 914/4 steering column and the loose VIN plate......

Stop me now......

New parts with plier marks in them - musta been removed from the rust free -6

A junk yard is a junk yard, but you can assign a fancy name to it if you wish.

Yep - GH4, a combo of billy beer and bad peanuts - just look at their ripoff of PP's site and a POORLY done ripoff at that.

You buy; I'll bag.

LOL!!! Funny you should mention that. I just went to the AA Archives and read all about that.
I was forced (not hard) to wondering about them after my last order a little over a year ago. I'd won a bid for fuses on EvilBay (not realizing they were offered from AA), didn't get them, called them, got them 2 days later then received 2 more batches of fuses 4 days later. I guess I came out on the good smell'n end of the stick! (they must have a case of the old chinese constipation thing "headupass")!

You mean you don't have an attitude on the phone?
I guess we'll all call you then, instead of mailing you

(and see how long it take before you've got a phone-attidude as well)



Cheers,

Jeroen
