Short but sucky

Short exchange...

ME: Hello, this is FOJK from ****. I was calling to let you know that the tow truck is on the way, he should be there between now (8:15am was the time) and about 8:45.

SC: *tsk* *gasp* So, they're REALLY NOT on the way!

ME: Uh, no, he is ON THE WAY and should be there in 20 - 30 minutes.

SC: Oh. Thanks.

ME: Thank you.

Just goes to show that they really only hear what they want to hear.

Having to wait (maybe) half an hour means they're not on their way? I know we live in an era of instant gratification, but that is just ridiculous.

Hey, that means my pizza isn't on the way! Or my chinese! No tip for you!

My response: "I'm sorry sir/madam, but our transporter is malfunctioning today. This means that our driver will actually have to DRIVE the truck to your location. I'm sorry for any inconvenience."

Do you know how many times I've wanted to pull that line with our members? For the ones that pitch HUGE fits about the time I've always wanted to say: "Well, I apologize and, you know, there is something I can do JUST FOR YOU today! We've installed the transporter just recently, and even though its still in its experimental stage, I'll just press this red button on my keyboard and a truck will appear in 3, 2, 1...."

If only your teleporter was working

It seems the only times I ever need a tow truck are when it's 100 degrees outside, and I have no bottled water.

and...oh crap, looks like the driver got morphed with a fly again - so he can probably fix your car, but might rip your head off as well. Will that be alright?"
