411 adventures

Here's some actual listings either me or my co-workers have had the fun of looking up.  (And these are the ones we found...imagine the ones we didn't.)

--Kum & Go...somewhere in Iowa.  Sorry, it just sounds bad.

--Last name Begay...in Colorado.  It's pronounced like...well, use your imagination.

--Sal's Inflatable Services...in California.  The man who was looking for it said they do things with the Coast Guard.  I know--I have a dirty mind.

Ok, enough of those for now...on to some other things.  I need to write something up about the ins and outs of 411 or something.  Why?  Here's an example:

Rule #1:  We CAN hear what you say to the recording.  Whether it's the listing you're looking for, what you did last night, what new curse word you learned (and are now using to mouth off to the recording), etc., we hear most if not all of it.

Example:  What I hear from the recording--Manhattan, New York--Douchebag...me, "I'm sorry, for what listing?"...stupid ass, "Lucien, in Manhattan."...me, "Oh, I thought I heard you say something else in the recording."...*silence* lmao.

So instead of making an ass out of yourself, here's my advice. 
Just say what you're looking for.  It'll be easier for us to find it if the voice activation doesn't understand you.
Pay attention to what the recording is saying, since it will save you some precious airtime.  Your convo with *insert person here* can wait a minute.
Don't try to talk with food (or anything else) in your mouth.  Listen to your mom.  Once again, it makes our job easier, and faster for you to get on your way.

There.  I'm going to bed now.

til next time...=)
