Just looking for an argument...

[slick]

Anyone have something like this happen to them before. Someone wanted to just start an argument and nothing more.

I remembered this story from a while back, it involves my friends car stereo store.

He had put a big logo on the sides of our friends SUV, basically for advertising. There were also logo's of all the brands sold at the store. One of the brands was "Hooker Car Audio". Its a wiring company. Its not big, and there is nothing "sexual" about it. I think the company was named after the owner, last name Hooker.

Anyways, one day my friend gets a call at the store. Some lady is on the other line, and she mentioned seeing the SUV with the store info on it. My friend got excited because the advertising seemed to work, so he put it on speaker so we can all hear. The lady sounded annoyed for some reason.

She says "I want to know if that everything on that vehicle is of your store". My friend confirmed that it was, and she quickly replies with "So what the hell is Hooker? What does that mean?", getting super pissy about it. My friend explained that it was a car audio brand that specialized in wiring and cables. She says "Is that it? You sure?", to which he replied, "I'm sure, I have been selling it for years". She says "Okay" and hangs up.

What did she think it meant? Its not like it was a vinyl decal that said "All women are hookers" or something dumb like that.

I actually pity people like this, makes me glad I have hobbies so I'm not moaning about worthless stuff.

I work for a real estate head office called "LJ Hookers" in the call center,
The amount of calls I get that are
"I'd like a hooker please" is insane
and sad

I actually had to read your post twice before the more risque meaning of the word "hooker" became clear to me.

This woman's mind is in the gutter.

This woman's mind is in the gutter.

She'd have a stroke if she read any of the hot rodding magazines. Just the thought of Hooker headers (slang for exhaust manifolds in general--Hooker is one brand name) would probably push her over the edge

Why can't people just get a clue for once?! I wasn't aware that Hooker was a car audio brand name before reading this post, but I learned something new today. I see lots of questionable things in the course of a day, but don't really feel that much concern over things which have no direct impact on my life.

"I'd like a hooker please"

"Okay, where do you want one sent to?"

Oh, her head would explode if she saw MY personal favorite: Manntool (tools, I'm guessing, started by a guy named Mann. I'm so 12 years old).

I like Badcock, too. (furniture.)

Of course, this is the same town with "Go Cocks" emblazoned on everything, so we're kind of desensitized.

Then after you hang up from the git, call the cops.

Moron will get a hooker for sure . . .
