Quoth chimera View Post"Is there anyone here that could sew this for me?" talk about putting the cart before the horse. Do you buy a bunch of random computer parts then ask if anyone is around to turn it into a desktop tower for you? A pile of lumber then seek out a contractor?
I've made dresses for myself that, when I tried them on, were awful and needed serious reworking. What these folks don't realize is that if you try on a dress at Macy's and it makes you look stout, you don't have to buy it. If I make you a dress, I'll make it fit you, but whether you like the finished result or not, you will pay for it.

Straight into the ocean.“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.
One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers

"The bottle machine is jammed". I neither have anything to do with it nor care (especially if it's the same person who jammed it two minutes previous).

About "I know this is the wrong department..." Sometimes a customer has no idea who they should talk to. In 2012 my aunt passed away, and as her executor I had to notify her credit accounts, etc. about her death and settle any outstanding bills. I would call the Customer Service number, and listen to the computerized listing, and if there was a "For all other matters, please press [whatever]" command I'd do that. For the ones that didn't have anything like that, and most of them did not, I'd try to reach a live person, then explain what I needed. In the case of two of her catalogs I had to call the phone order line, as that was the only number I could find, and ask whoever answered for help. I was always polite, though.

On sold out nights I get this string of questions frequently:
"Do you have any rooms?
"What's going on in City?"
"Do you know who still has rooms?"
I don't mind the first question so much, but I get tired of answering the other questions because I have incoming calls ready to ask me the same thing.To right the countless wrongs of our days... We shine this light of true redemption, that this place may become as paradise...Oh, what a wonderful world such would be...
