  • Louisiana... how difficult could it be?

    Painful at the time, exceedingly amusing afterwards.

    LM: Louisiana Man
    Me: Meeeeeee!

    Guy's calling to activate his card. I'll start where it gets interesting

    Me: "What state are you calling from?"

    LM: "The United States."

    Me: *dies a little inside* "Erm, I'm sorry, I meant, which state of the united states?

    LM: "Oh." *gives city name*

    Me: "I'm sorry, sir. I need to know what STATE you're calling from, so I can be sure we're in compliance with STATE laws. What STATE are you calling from, sir?"

    LM: *and here's the kicker...* "I'm calling from the United States of America. Those states."

    That is a quote. My sheer disbelief caused that to ring inside my skull for hours.

    Me: "Um, yes, sir, I understand that. What I mean is, which one of the United States? You know, like Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas...." (yes, I was saying them in alphabetical order.)

    LM: "I'm not from any of them!"

    Me: "Ok, sir. So, which one are you from?"

    LM: "The United States!"

    Me: "Yes, sir. I understand. I need to know which state. Could it be California, Colorado, Conneticut..." (I was ready to go through the entire list)

    LM: *starting to get annoyed* "I'm calling from X City, Louisiana!"

    Finally!

    Figers are vicious I tell ya. They crawl up your leg and steal your belly button lint.

    I'm a case study.

      I used to be disgusted... Now I'm just amused

        Just don't get it mixed up with your tinfoil hat. Damn I hate it when that happens.

                  My reply after the last line:

                  Sir, *CITY* is the city, and Louisiana is the state. There are fifty of them that all go together. This is why it's called the UNITED States. I might suggest you go sit in on a few classes on basic geography at the local GED training classes... might as well get the whole course while you're there.
