I drive a tow truck ( I'm very good at it if I might add). But sometimes I have to deal with a special type of person who should not be driving, in the gulf area there is a little island called Hatti- it's a splilt island country, near Cuba. Now almost everyday I am forsced to deal with the smarter of their people who decide to float to the U.S and instantly become citizens. (remember my spelling sucks) Now being the nice and gental sole that I am I do try and understand that most are first generation, as well as newly intoduced to such fine things as indoor plumbing and electricity.
Now after just talking to a person on the phone I will recant our phone conversation and you tell me should this person be driving. "Hi My name is James How can I help you today?" Their response. "I need a Tow" "Not a problem where are you?" "I'm with my car" "OK and where is your car?" "It's with me" "Ok where are you and your car at?" "I don't know we are lost at the store". "Ok what store, are you on a road or in a parking lot" "I am at the store with my car you come get me." "Sir I need to know where you are at to get you". "I told you I am at store come get me". At this point I decided to change topics to see if a change of infomation would jog the mans brain into working. "Sir what kind of car do you have?" His response. "OK, yes." "Sir ok, yes to what?' "My car." "Sir there is no such car as an ok or a yes. do you have a color". A very long pause and I could hear the man speaking in creole to someone when he spoke he added. "My car Lost I am with it we are lost come find". he then hung up. After calling him back and not getting an answer and leaving several messages I gave up. about an hour latter he called back. "Where your driver I called I'm waiting where he at?" "Well sir where are you at? all you told us was that you were lost with your car I need to know where you are at". A long pause followed by more Creaole speaking untill he just hung up. Additional Details added 7 months ago
After several hours the person called back.
"I still waiting, why I am I waiting." after asking all the same questions that I asked before the person hung up. a short while later they called back upset. "I am lost no one will tell me where I am, come get me I am waiting". "Ok sir can you tell me where you are, what is the name of the store or what road are you on." A long paused followed by a rush of creaole speaking. "Ok, yes I need a tow". Being as nice as I could be I again asked. "Sir if you can't tell me where you are how do you think I will find you? I need a starting point to start looking." "Ok, yes, I think I am in Naples, but I am not sure". "OK sir what is the name of the store you are at?" A short pause followed by the sounds of creaole being spoken. "I don't know I cant read the sign." "Ok sir please feel free to call back when you figure out where you are." And I hung up. The customer called back yelling in perfect english. "WHY YOU NOT HELP ME I am LOST come get me." so again I asked all the same questions as before and received all the same answers as before, so being as polite as I could I stated. "Sir I don't know where you are, you don't know where you are, your freinds that you are talking to don't know where you are at. How do you think that I am going to find you." A short pause followed by more creaole and he answered. "So you are on your way?" After saying "goodbye" I hung up the phone so far he has not called back.
