I’m not one for posting conversations I have with other people, but I’ll make an exception for a strange moment that took place jus a few minutes ago. I called our corporate travel agency (located in sunny South Carolina) to book a flight for my boss.
Me: Hi, I’d like to book a flight for [boss’s name].
Travel Rep: No problem. What’s your name?
Me: [My name].
Travel Rep: Oh, hi [my name]. Everyone on the floor here talks about you.
Me: …
Travel Rep: Everyone says you’re such a nice guy. [Pause] So, when is he looking to travel?
So…you’re saying it’s odd that people think you’re a nice guy? 😛
They think you’re a nice guy? Obviously they don’t know you very well.
By the way, the above comment was meant as a joke. Spike is, of course, I very nice guy. Sometimes I forget that translation is lost when you can’t actually hear what is being said.
