Sometimes customers call us… just to call us. What I mean is that sometimes they will call and start talking about things that are totally off topic, without any questions, just their expression.

One time a customer called and started telling me about how border police found over 10,000 pounds of opium and heroin in Afghanistan.

He said: “Damn that’s a lot of heroin! You know… I bet a lot of people would be extremely happy to find that. Not me though, I’m more of a pot smoker. I just smoke pot… And… I just thought this was cool! How could Afghanistan have gotten so much opium? WOW.”

I was speechless. It is interesting to know what’s going on in the world, but a customer calling and telling me news was just plain strange.

So he kept continuing: “Oh… and I forgot, they also found weapons and materials to make explosives. You never know what they could have wanted to do with those explosives.”

“Yes, Sir it is very good that they found all that stuff. What can I do for you? Do you have any questions?”
“No, I just wanted to share this piece of information with you. Have a good day.”
