I am pretty sure that I am some kind of enabler.

At work today, I got a call from a lady looking to place an order.

She ordered nine hundred dollars' worth of shit.

I was on the phone with her for forty-five minutes helping her order all this shit. She wanted this clock. Okay, she wanted ten clocks. And then I mentioned that they were on sale, and she was like "oh they're on sale? I'll take twenty of them then. No, twenty-four of them". She just... casually ordered twenty-four clocks. It was fucking surreal.

And only looking back on it now do I realize that she probably had some kind of problem.

And I just sat there taking her order.

Fuck me straight to hell.

A fool and his money are soon parted, eh?

Maybe she had a legitimate use for them. People buy weird shit all the time, right?

Ponicalica · 2011-01-09 23:50:30

«She just... casually ordered twenty-four clocks.»

She obviously needs one for every hour.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-01-10 00:00:09

What does your company do again, Karlz?

Gelzo · 2011-01-10 00:02:33

Sell clocks. Duh.

Super Lazuli · 2011-01-10 15:39:59

"She just... casually ordered twenty-four clocks"

O_O

glennmagusharvey · 2011-01-10 17:46:46

There are 24 time zones.

However, I don't know why she might have wanted 20.

Longfellow · 2011-01-10 18:10:37

Maybe she already has four clocks, and figured she'd complete the set. But then she rethought and realized she needed all of them to look the same.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-01-10 18:16:55

Why would she have four clocks in the first place?

Super Lazuli · 2011-01-10 18:17:18

For four of the 24 time zones.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-01-10 18:18:44

Good point.

Khwarizmi · 2011-01-10 18:19:53

Isn't four clocks a normal number to have in a house?

glennmagusharvey · 2011-01-10 18:21:23

Yeah, but twenty or twenty-four or twenty-eight is not.

Longfellow · 2011-01-10 18:26:38

Maybe she's Doc Brown.

Super Lazuli · 2011-01-10 18:28:47

She's a Timelord.

Khwarizmi · 2011-01-10 18:32:37

Lady, surely?

Super Lazuli · 2011-01-10 18:34:27

If she's a Timelord, can you really be sure she's a woman?

Longfellow · 2011-01-10 18:35:26

If she's Doc Brown, can you really be sure she's a woman?

Super Lazuli · 2011-01-10 18:37:32

If she's a Timelord, can you really be sure she's Doc Brown, a woman, and not Jackie Kennedy?

This topic has made me realise that I can't read the word enabler without thinking of the WBC.

I wonder how many clocks Fred Phelps owns.

...Also, my phone autocorrects WBC as Environment. What.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-01-10 19:08:40

Your phone is right-wing.

Central Avenue · 2011-01-10 22:31:51

I have 17 clocks on my bedroom wall. By the end of the year I'll probably have 24.

Though I didn't buy them all at once, mind you. They're mostly Goodwill store pickups, with the occasional birthday gift thrown in.

Tnophelia · 2011-01-10 22:43:54

She probably has a clock for every hour.

Ponicalica · 2011-01-11 07:53:43

Tnoph: I already made that joke.

Tnophelia · 2011-01-11 08:31:00

Your joke expired. I decided to renew it.

Ponicalica · 2011-01-11 08:33:37

Clearly, we need to make the joke 24 times.

arks · 2011-01-11 08:38:45

Wow. She has a clock for every hour now.

Central Avenue · 2011-01-11 10:36:14

Well, obviously she needs a clock for every hour!

WUE · 2011-01-12 08:16:18

Clearly, she needs a clock for every hour! ~~We only need to make this joke other 20 times, guys.~~

Saigyouji · 2011-01-12 09:25:03

18 times. After all, she clearly needs a clock for every hour.

WUE · 2011-01-12 09:53:37

Oh yeah. Forgot to count myself. THAT'S BECAUSE I'M CLEARLY WORTHLESS, QUICK, CONSOLE ME ;____________;

EDIT: Distasteful or not, I wanted to make that joke for so much time...

Howdy, Stranger!
