For years I worked in the office of my uncle's plumbing & appliance repair office. The whole company was staffed by family. Myself, my mother, and her mother in the office, the uncle/owner as the plumber, my stepdad as the appliance repair, and a very close family friend who may as well have been related to us as the second appliance repair tech. It was always funny dealing with people who "knew the owner"
Some of the best though were:
1. An old woman who tried to claim to my grandmother that she "knew the owner's mom from church" (handy hint, my grandma has never attended church since she was a child)
2. A teacher who tried to claim she was the owner's girlfriend (I asked her how she juggled teaching and being a full-time manager at the local S-bux coffee and she hung up)
3. A guy who claimed to be his sister's fiance. (I asked that one if her husband knew she was engaged again, and wasn't it rude of him to not have even met my brother and I, her children?)
