Murphy’s Law
June 5th, 2008 . by Erin The GreatI may or may not work at one of the slooowest bank branches known to man…. At least as far as walk-in traffic goes. As far as phone traffic? That’s another story. That phone rings constantly! Unfortunately only about 70% off the phone calls are legitimate; the other 30% are solicitors, debt consolidators, people looking for the Utah state prison and/or Costco. I’m not sure why we get calls for Costco but we do.
Anyway, I arrive at 12:30 every day, and I can count on one hand how many people walk through the door in just a couple of hours… Until I start telling a story. Every time I start a story I can guarantee that at least 3 people will walk in and at least 2 people will call. I don’t know what it is, but it’s like the general populous has this ‘story’ radar and must come in when and only when you’re telling a story.
People will also walk through the door if you’re the only teller and you really need to go to the bathroom. When nature calls, so do the people… every frickin time! Thank you Murphy’s Law!
I have a similar complaint and that is when people feel the need to call of sit down for a talk in the middle of your show. Why is it that every time my show comes on people suddenly need me??
C’est la vie.
Sounds like the phone at my office. Let me start talking to a coworker and that damn phone is gonna ring 5 times in a row.
