CW was taking a call from someone who insisted we had a guest at our motel who was not here. I could only hear half the conversation.
CW: "No, he's not registered here....no, that room is registered to another guest...yes, I am serious....no, that room is also registered to someone else....that person is not registered here...."
A few times, CW would hold the receiver away and roll her eyes while whoever was on the other end ranted at her.
Eventually I heard CW say the following: "No, this is [our city]...yes, that would be the problem then. We are not [city on the other side of the state]. Yes, try calling them. Good day."
Apparently, the person they were trying to reach was at [our motel brand] in [city on other end of the state]. They spent a good five minutes ranting at CW for nothing. CW was laughing about it when she hung up the phone; she found it hilarious! (And yes, CW did say "Thank you for calling [motel] [city]" when she answered the phone!)
Bonus:
CW yesterday took a call from someone asking how far we were from Washington DC. I noticed then that someone took my Post-it I had taped to the edge of the desk with the mileage on it down, so I Googled our distance to the White House again and reposted the figure. We're 2839 miles away from the White House, by road. (At least monthly, if not weekly, we get someone calling us in Washington State trying to find lodging near Washington DC.)
