One Of The Guys
Sometimes you never know what you’re going to hear when you pick up the phone.
Me: Good afternoon, this is Builder Babe.
Trucker: Oh Crap!! …for Pete’s sake! *** (actual words he used may differ from what is printed here…it’s a family friendly site you know!) ***
Me: um hello?
Trucker: Ahhhhh…..they must have given me the number to the main office, I’m trying to make a delivery to the Big Box Store construction site. Christ!! They were supposed to give me the number to one of the guys onsite for when I got here…not the main office girls…you probably can’t help me…
Me: Well sir…I am one of the “guys” onsite, I can see you in the construction entrance, dump your load of 30” HDPE next to the ¾” stone, I’ll have one of the operators meet you to help with the unload.
Trucker: Oh well…thank you very much m’am! I’m sorry for the confusion! I appreciate your help! Have a wonderful day!!!
I will give the guy some slack…the girls up at the office aren’t the sharpest knives in the drawer. Though I would appreciate answering my phone and not being greeted with profanity.
