just like betty
i deal with a lot of truckers. a lot of personalities come through this door.
i'm sitting here at work on a saturday morning, and this trucker has been up to the shipping window twice now.
this second time around, he's just been standing there staring in, but not opening the window, or saying "hello" or even remotely trying to get our attention.
(this is a BIG pet peeve around here for anyone who sits behind a service window).
this guy's nick name (b/c they all get nicknames sooner or later) is "boop."
and all of a sudden, i remembered why we call him that.
b/c that's what he does.
if you talk to this guy, and then turn away to answer the phone, look up something for him on the computer, or just generally don't give him all your attention, he boops.
he literally makes this faint sound, boop.
it's enough to make you lose it. i've had to get up and walk away so i don't laugh in this guy's face.
no one has been able to figure out if he's just making that noise with his mouth, or if he's got some condition, or we've even speculated that he's got some kind of pacemaker that makes an audible booping noise.
nobody knows...
but i do know this... the lady helping him gave him his paperwork and said, "have a good trip." (he's driving to chicago) and he replied with, "you do the same."
kind of like when a waiter tells you to enjoy your meal and you say, "you, too!"
