We get so many stupid calls in here at my work too. Yesterday this telemarketer called trying to sell me a street level map for use at work. I told him we don't use maps, and he hangs up on me. WTH would I use a map for????
This other time a customer at the consumer level calls me to complain about how our ink doesn't flow properly in his Flexi-Nib fountain pen. It's mainly because he was using one of the most saturated inks we sell. No matter what I did, I couldn't get this guy off the phone. He was blabbering on to me for an hour "oh, this is the first bottle of your ink I have bought, and now I'm putting it away on my shelf since I can't use it..." boo hoo hoo..... I offered for him to try a different colour, but noooooo he doesn't want a different colour. That may sound mean, but there are a few fountain pen users out there that are basically the same thing as a Trekky, but for pens/ink..... They ask you the most complicated questions they possibly can so they can go write about how much we suck on their little pen forum! BAH!

Nina-I swear you could write a book of these stories. "Tales of the 'Toopid" or some such thing. YOu'd be filthy rich! From now on today when anyone asks you for something tell them before you can proceed there will be a $5 service charge.

JAIL MAIL ALERT!
this isn't a stoooopid phone call but it's just as annoying. jail mail, tyson, who is in the big house...hmmmm...i think he got 4 years or so, wants to withdraw his guilty plea and proceed to trial. unfortunately for me, it hasn't been 30 days yet since judgment was entered so he will be allowed to file this motion. i wrote him last week and said gimme reasons. i need solid reasons why you wanna w/d your plea. judgiepoo doesn't like frivilous motions so we gotta have GOOD REASONS. i have tyson's reasons in front of me, his letter came in today's mail... TYSON DOESN'T LIKE PRISON now, where's my circular file?

Here's a synopsis of a few calls I got a few years ago from a client who thought he could keep changing his story until is suited him...
Moron: Ummm......What if I take that drum of methyl ethyl death and dump it into my 10,000 gallon tank. Then the concetration of methyl ethyl death would then be low enough that it's not a hazardous waste and low enough for me to dump it to the creek. Mutt: The EPA thought of that when they wrote the laws. If you dump that drum in the tank, you will have 10,000 gallons of hazardous waste regardless of the concentration of methyl ethyl death. Next day..... Moron: I've got a 10,000 gallon tank with a very low concentration of methyl ethyl death, can I dump it to the creek? Mutt: Sure, as long as that methyl ethyl death is there by a normal process and not there because you dumped a concentrated drum of the stuff in the tank. Moron: Oh no, that's been taken care of. Mutt: mmmmhmmmmm. I hope you have manifesting and good records on your Satellite Accumulation Areas. Moron: Absolutely. A couple of months later.... EPA: Why do the container numbers in your satellite accumulation area skip a number? Why do you have records of recieving shipments of methyl ethyl deat but you don't have any records of having properly disposed of used methyl ethyl death? Moron: It's still in inventory, we haven't used it. EPA: Show me. Moron: Ummmm.......Well it was here, I'm sure we've just misplaced it. A subpeano for my project records (including my records of telephone conversations) and a $500,000 fine later......
