  • Do ya'all plug tires?

    Clarify: I work at a garage/towing company/mini-mart. I answer the phones for all 3 at one location.
    SC -Someone let this person talk on the phone
    Me- MEEE
    B- coworker/driver B-man

    *ringring*
    Me: *spiel*
    SC: I have a question. The garage? Do ya'all plug tires?
    Me: Yes we do if a driver is available, is the tire on or off the car?
    SC: On..do you plug tires? (..I guess I didnt' answer the question for you the first time)
    Me: Hold on *Transfer call to B-man*

    Told to me by my driver:
    B: *spiel*
    SC: Um, do you plug tires? (Superb job listening to me the first 2 times)
    B: What kind of tire?
    SC: Ford Focus Tire (I'm not sure you're aware but your tire has numbers on the side and none of those amounts to "Ford Focus Tire")
    B: Ok, yes. We can plug automotive tires
    SC: Oh, so if I had a motorcycle could you plug that tire?(I can see where you are confused. Our garage considers autos to be car, truck, van, suv, etc. You might not know this so B-man will let this slide.)
    B: Um, no
    SC: So how much is it?
    B: *blah blah price* and on the car *blah blah price*
    SC: So, can you plug the tire? ..If I just bring the tire?(4th time's a charm. I'm impressed with your lack of listening abilities.)
    B: Yes, if a driver is available
    SC: Alright, I might be up tonight. (Might be... we'll be holding onto our seats awaiting your epic arrival. For lulz sake, I hope you ask once again for a 5th time if we can plug your tire. We need entertainment.)
    B: Ok, give us a call and ask the dispatcher if there is a driver available approximately 2-5 mins before arrival
    SC: Alright, Thank you have a good night.

    Oh I hope he comes in..

    **EDIT**
    SC called back!
    SC: Remember me, the one who wanted to get his tire plugged? Do you still do that? if so I'll be there in 5-10 mins TOPSY. (Yes, the man said topsy. He seemed so excited that I didn't want to burst his bubble about his use of the english language. Then again, I've been known to err in it as well so I have no room to talk.)

    He came in the time he specified and said. "I'm here about that tire plug."
    Me: Ok let me call a driver (he's not going to say it....)
    SC: you're still plugging my tire right? (CLOSE ENOUGH YAY!!)

      Better than going on and on about a butt plug, I guess...
      Everything will be ok in the end. If it's not ok, it's not the end.

          Geez,you'd think it was a major operation to plug a tire I have a kit & have done it several times,nothin' could be easier.

            Hubby is going to teach me how to plug the tires in our car in case I need to. He let me pick out a kit that has an inflator, plugs, and other fun stuff...someday he'll buy it for me.
            Of course, I'm the rare woman that wants to learn how to do stuff to the car myself. I'd rather not be helpless if something happens.

              I'll buy your husband a beer for teachin' you & what ever you drink for wantin' to learn that

              My wife knows how to change a tire but hasn't had to.

                Granted, the failure rate of plugged tires is low, but tire failure on a motorcycle?
