Me: phone rings “[Bowling Alley], how may I help you?”
Customer: “Yeah, I was in there last night, and I think I left my bowling ball there. Can you see if it’s around?”
Me: “Sure, was it a specific brand?”
Customer: “Oh… I’m not sure… I don’t think it had a brand on it.”
Me: mentally sighing “Okay, what color was it?”
Customer: “Um, I think it is blue. Er, wait… Maybe green?”
Me: mentally facepalming “Well, was there anything else on it, like your name engraved, or some other feature?”
Customer: thinks a bit “Um… OH! It has three holes in it!”
