  • I just...I can't

    Not even sure where to put this. Because it wasn't an SC. At least, I don't think this dude was deliberately jerking my chain. It's hard to tell with people over the phone sometimes.

    WBG - Weird bald guy (the baldness may be relevant) (and I know what he looked and sounded like because I checked him in)
    Me -

    I get a phonecall the other night. Goes like this:

    Me - *standard spiel*
    WBG - Hey, uh, I was wondering if anybody left behind a razor.
    Me - *slightly grossed out at the idea of using a used razor* Um...we don't have any razors in lost and found. But I can have someone bring you a shaving kit. *I go to look in the amenities box*
    WBG - Okay, cuz, you know, I have to shave my hamster twice a month.
    Me - I...I'll call you right back, I have to go see if we have any in the supply closet.
    WBG - Okay, thanks!

    I just...I don't think this guy takes his pet hamster on vacation with him. To be fair, he might have been trying to be funny and he just needed to smooth his head down a bit. If he was talking about shaving...elsewhere...I don't want to think about it. They reallllllly don't pay me enough for that.

    Hmm, the only remaining entertainment value I can forsee getting out of this conversation (other than your lovely comments) is to relate it to my manager and watch the look on his face. He makes fun faces.

      And his hamster has its cheeks packed full of n***s.

        I could be wrong, but I don't think it was euphemism for anything 'private'. It was probably just a particularly stupid joke, either to fluster you or because he genuinely thought it was funny.

          Why would he need to shave his hamster? Is it to make the duct tape stick properly?

                  I am very glad that there is only one pet store near my house and they don't sell guinea pigs or hamsters or gerbils (I don't think you can get the last two in Aussieland either )

                  Now I will never look at them again....

                    Sheldon, I'm disappointed. From your "comebacks" here, I thought you'd be familiar enough with dirty jokes to know that gerbils are for internal application, and hamsters for external application (in combination with duct tape).
