No joke, but this guy was totally serious.

One of the guys at work had a customer call in asking if we could hold a Nintendo Wii for him.  As per company policy, he told the customer that because of the intense demand, the consoles were first come first served.

“How am I going to get one if you don’t hold one for me?” he asked irritably.

“Well, just come down as soon as you can and hopefully we’ll have some left.”

“What happens if you sell out?  Do you guys know how much gas is going to be wasted if I come down there for nothing?”  The customer’s voice started to rise.  “Don’t you what that’s going to do to the environment?!?  Don’t you people care?”

“Sir,” my co-worker answered.  “Maybe you shouldn’t drive down here at all.  If you get a Wii you’re just going end up using more energy and killing the environment anyways.”
