More Stupid Callers

I had a real genius group of callers over the weekend. I had one guy that called up and just said 'Penis.' I thought maybe he just said Phoenix, so I asked him if he could repeat that. He giggled and said 'Really big penises.' What a moron. That probably cost him $1.50. Oh, the hilarity.

Then it seemed like ever fifth call went like this:

Me: What city and state?
Annoying Caller: St. Blah, CA .
Me: What listing would you like?
AC: Sears
Me: I don't have a listing for Sears in St. Blah, but I see one listed in Rancho Whatever and Snarkywood.
AC: No, the one I want is in Blah Bay.
Me: Let me get that number for you. One moment, please. (While thinking: You stupid ass. You knew what city it was in and wasted my time looking in the wrong city. I should give you the number for STD testing at the free clinic, but no, I'll give you the number for Sears in Blah Bay. The customer is always right, blah blah blah.) Here's your number, have a great day.

Now, I don't mind the callers who honestly thought the store was in the wrong city, or that didn't realize the store was in the next town over. But these people were really pushing my buttons this weekend. I mean come on, if you want a certain store in a certain town, you should ask for that store in that town. How hard is that to understand?
