Thought i'd share this little story with you guys as i thought it was quite amusing!
A few days ago i received an online order for some Flaming Chains. These were sent out the same day as they were ordered and I thought no more about it.
A couple of hours later I received a phone call from Mike the guy who placed the order saying he had forgotten to put his house number on the order, I failed to notice this as the street sounded like a feasible house name. I had obviously had already sent it out, so we agreed that we wait for it to come back to me and then resend it.
Anyway, 2 days later a guy walked into my office with a scrappy piece of paper which had a name and telephone number on. Apparently the person on the paper needed to get hold of me, but wasn't sure how too and had called the fire place company down the road.
Somewhat confused I rang the number and Mike was on the other end. He explained to me that he had never ordered anything from us and that he certainly hadn't spoken to me days before. He then proceeded to explain what he thought had happened:
A few days previous to the order Mike had received a phone call from a guy accusing him of sleeping with his wife. This woman Mike had only met once, at a wedding 7 years previously. He continued to justify himself to me for many minutes explaining how 'he wouldn't do her anyway!" He had decided that the Flaming Chains was a 'Don't play with fire' symbol sent to him by the man who's wife he's supposed to be messing with.
After a bit of investigation it became clear that what actually happened was that the postman had decided he was clearly Sherlock Holmes and decided to just deliver it to the place that had a Mike living in it. He delivered it to number 32. It was supposed to go to number 10.
As this all happened at about 9:15am i wasn't 100% sure it really happened and genuinely thought i was still sleeping!
Use this thread to tell us all about crazy thing that happen to you a work today
