Actual conversation that took place at work today
Cust: Can you tell me where printer X is?
Me: Sure, where are you now? I'll tell you how to get there.
Cust: I'm near X's office.
Me: Ok, the printer you are looking for is on the other side of the building.
Cust: Other side? What do you mean?
Me: You know the side you are on now? Not that side.
Cust: Huh? Where is it?
Me: It is on the side of the building that is closest to the tube station.
Cust: Tube station? What do you mean?
Me: You know where the tube station is?
(everyone does as a: it is the main form of travel and b: it is across the road from the front of our building)
Cust: I don't understand what you mean... tube station? Never mind I'll go find the printer myself...
Me:

It would be funny if this was an isolated incident, but this woman is a repeat offender and it is well beyond a joke now. I would understand if she was hired based on her skills, or even if she was easy on the eye... she must know someone who knows someone, cos she has no skills and is really weird looking.
