Stupid Questions!

A pet peeve of someone I love!

Phone rings!

The phone rings a lot in my life right now.

I answer.

Do you have any reservations for tonight?

Yes. Why. Yes. I. Do. I have a full house. Each of those people has a reservation.

What you want to ask is do I have any openings for tonight.

It reminds me of when I was in grad school at UK and someone would wander into the theater during the afternoons while we built the scenery.

Speak the following in a serious southern accent.

Oh my god. Y’all. This looks great. Are y”all building a stage? Y’all are building a stage.

And the scenery design professor would always say. No. The stage was built years ago. We are building a set.

Is it pretentious? Probably.

But this is a kick in the bucket compared to some of the crazy questions we get.

I know you don’t have a kids menu. Can I bring their food with me?

Do you have indoor dining?

Can I make a reservation for tonight on the patio? It’s raining…. We don’t mind.

Can you cancel my reservation for the other restaurant that we made for tonight?

Can you cancel my reservation for Tuesday? We are closed on Tuesday. Yes. That’s why I want to cancel my reservation.

Can you tell me the name of the wine I ordered on Saturday night?

They go on.

It’s hard to not make fun sometimes.

What are the stupid questions that people ask YOU at work?
