Last night at 10.30 in the evening, some bloke called to enquire about a set of wheels I have up for sale.
Either he was severely retarded/drunk or it was the best prank call I have ever had. The complete lag of hesitation and general tone makes me lean torward the former.
Conversation went like this:
Hi, I'm calling regarding you wheels. Are they still for sale?
They are, you interested?
What type are they?
What type? Er... they're alloys, like the ad says!?
No, I mean are they carbon or steal or what?
Er... they're just regular alloys.
Oh... okay... So they came with your car then?
No, I bought them separately.
For what car?
A Corsa, but they will fit a lot of other cars as well.
Will they fit a 4WD? I've got a 12.0 litre 4x4 that I want to fit them too.
No, they'll probably not fit any 4WD cars.
Well you can put it in 2WD as well. Will they fit then?
Listen, why don't you call your garage regarding fitment and then get back to me?
Sure, how many BHP will they pull?
Excuse me?
I mean, how fast can they turn.
I really can't tell... Listen...
So if I want to drive 300 km/h down some side roads and the surface is uneven, will that be okay?
*Laughs* That's up to you mate. Call your garage, then get back to me if you...
Is the price negotiable?
How negotiable?
What you mean?
I mean, what did you want to pay?
Oh... I don't know 500? [national currency, not GBP red.]
Yeah, I don't think we'll find an agreement then.
How much did you want?
Thirtytwohundred, as advertised.
What's that in thousands? I don't do math.
3200
That's a lot. I got a mate who will sell me a set of wheels for 1000, but he just goes out and steals them.
Yeah, alright mate. Listen, it's late so why don't you consider it some more and...
I'll give you 100 a piece.
Which is less than your former offer of course...
I don't do math!
[Long silence]
What size are they?
They're 17's as stated in the ad. You'll see all the details on the website...
Can I get them welded so they're bigger?
What? No!
Because welding alluminium is hard, right?
Sure. I'll hang up now, alright. Bye.

You really had to hear his tone and the way he delivered his answers / question. It seemed genuine.
That said, he might have been a comic genius, in which case I salute him!
