We have this guy, I'm gonna call him Andy. Not his real name but something tells me he wouldn't be too thrilled if I posted his real name associated with this story hehe.
Andy is a bit of a stuck-up prick BUT he's a nice guy. He talks with a very proper and well-rounded queens-English accent and can't STAND the local accent where I live and work....sucks to be him, but I think he's just kind of got used to us all by now. Andy has a tendency to say stuff without thinking though...and thus, this story
He had done a customer order for a particular computer that we were stuggleing to get hold of. I needed one to sort out a customer issue and he needed one to sell. He managed to secure both of them from another store and picked them both up BUT the problem is for him that he said to the customer "I'll get your computer for February 13th (yesterday) I'd said to my customer "If I can't get it by February 20th I'll call you and you can have a refund"
Of course, yesterday rolls around, Andy, at the point the customer came in to complain about not having had her PC, hadn't even got back with them yet. I told him as soon as he came in, he called her and said he would deliver it in his car that night. I guess she was okay with that.
The story goes that the customer lives close to a red light district. Andy, who doesn't like Satnavs, is driving around her area very slowly with a print-out from Mapquest, decides that, while in a red light district, it's a good idea to stop and ask a woman who is standing around for directions. Poor guy doesn't realise the police have been tailing him for a little while, and of course, promptly arrest him and the hooker. They release Andy a few hours later when the hooker backs up his story that he really was just asking for directions, but now it's too late to deliver the computer.
Of course, today rolls around and the woman is back in complaining that he's promised and not delivered. Fair enough. She collars him as he's walking past our counter. Andy gets a little bit pissed off with how she's talking to him and, without a word of a lie, says to her "For your information, the reason your computer didn't get delivered was because I was arrested for curb-crawling!!"
I don't know how the rest of the conversation went. I was too busy laughing.
