Not Always Right has stories of some of the MOST stupid people I have ever heard of. Here is a great example:
Me: “[Beauty supply store], how can I help you?”
Caller: *almost sobbing* “I need help! Do you know about permanent waves?”
Me: “Yes, we carry a few different brands. Did you buy one here?”
Caller: “No, I had one done by a friend. I don’t know where she bought it. I need to know…is it true that you can get pregnant if you have a perm while you’re on your period?”
(At this point I’m hoping it’s a prank call. I try to keep my voice professional.)
Me: “No, ma’am. A perm can’t cause that.”
Caller: “Are you sure?”
Me: “Yes, I am 100% positive having your hair permed can’t make you pregnant.”
Caller: “Oh, thank God!” *hangs up*
