People Is Dumb

We just had one of our renters call the office. The extent of the conversation went like this:

Guest: I think there’s a problem with the phone here, I think it’s disconnected.

Us: Are you calling us from the phone?

Guest: Yes.

Us: Then how can it be disconnected?

Guest Pauses: Well, what’s the number for this unit?

Us: We have it as xxx-xxxx

Guest: That’s what is says on the phone here.

Us, thinking to ourselves: Imagine that.

Guest: I tried calling it with my cell phone, and it didn’t ring. Can you try calling the number from your office?

Us: Sure!

Everybody hangs up. We call back, he answers.

Imagine that. It works.

People is dumb.
