Sometimes you've just got to laugh!

I had a customer the other day ask me where we kept our table runners. Not an uncommon thing to hear in my line of work. I led her to the corner where we keep ALL of our table runners. She looked at me and said "Oh, I've already seen these ones. Don't you have any wider ones? These are so narrow."
-- So my first gut reaction was to say to her. "If you've already seen the table runners why did you ask me where we kept the table runner?"
Instead I said: "Oh these are the only ones we've got sorry. They just come in the standard width."
"Are you sure these are all you have?" She asked in hopes that I would change my answer.
"Yes, we only keep them in the one spot. We do have some on the tables for show, but they have doubles in this display. So all the table runners in the store are just right here. Sorry." I responded in hopes she would understand.
"Are you sure you sure you don't have any wider ones in the back?"
"Yes. They are all right here I promise."

...

I shook my head and walked away!

I especially like how she kept asking me if we had any others like I was going to give in and show her our stash of extra wide table runners.

Some people just make me laugh...

Xoxo.

What Gives?

You are busy moving furniture/wood around and you get a sliver. It hurts for 2 minutes. 120 seconds pass and you forget all about it. Your life carries on as if nothing has happened to you. Then about 10-12 hours later you take a shower and notice the tiny little sliver in your hand and you can't feel anything but that stupid sliver now! It feels as if you have an entire treen branch penetrating your hand. The tiny little baby sliver spent 12 hours nestled nicely in your hand without notice, but the moment you rememeber it is there it feels like the worst pain in your life...
