A conversation with an American

I got my CAA membership mag, and on one page there was a Hertz ad with a Corvette to rent. It said 15 % off for CAA members and a 1-888 number to call.

I call, and this was the convo more or less:

Me: Hi, I'm calling about your Hertz ad in the CAA magazine featuring the Corvette for rent.

Her: Which location?

Me: In the Toronto area.

Her: What's Toronto?

Me: A city in Canada.

Her: Oh I've never heard of that.

Me: Yea it's pretty big, like 7 million people metro. Where are you from?

Her: Alabama.

Me: Ahh so you don't know how we do up in here.

Her: <laughs> Yea I guess not

Me: So what about that Corvette?

Her: I can't seem to find it.

Me: Try the province.

Her: Province?

Me: Yea Ontario.

Her: Oh ok...<after a minute> it's not showing up.

Me: Ahh that's cool, I guess putting up an ad for Corvette rentals in a Canadian Automobile Association magazine and not having a single one in Ontario (the most populated province) makes perfect sense.

Her: Yea sorry, we have them in Alabama. Is it cold there in Canada?

Me: It's getting warmer now but last month we still had snow falling north of the city, it's about 20 C today.

Her: Oh 20, that's so cold, it's like 80 here.

Me: Yea but you guys use farenheit, I'm not sure what the conversions are. The freezing point of water in C is 0 and the boiling point is 100, what's the boiling point/freezing point of water in farenheit?

Her: Oh God, I don't know, I should ask my son the answer to that.

Me: Ahh I see, well thanks for your help anyways, take care.

Her: Bye

 
Other fun stuff:

My dad once asked someone at a deli for something like "Three tenths of a pound" of whatever it was he wanted.

The person there looked confused and said, "It doesn't come in tenths of a pound."

The scale's readout: xx.xx lbs.



And that's why this person is only qualified to work at a deli counter.

Yo man I'm really bad at math, break that down for me 😀

On the downside Ill never experience a Corvette I guess 🙁 Man I was this close 🙁
 
Wow, so sad. I was an optimist but once I started working, that belief went to hell. People are so dumb, I worry about our future.

who orders three tenths of a pound of something?

in any event... pay people minimum wage and you're not likely to get the brightest bulbs.

Why can't your dad order stuff by the pound like normal people. WTF is wrong with you people ordering stuff in metrics.
