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!
