Made Me Chuckle....

[Nini74]

We have offices on the ground and third floor of our building. Was speaking to someone from our ground floor office the other day, when he told me that someone had come into the building, walked into the ground floor office to say, in all seriousness, "can you tell me where the second floor is please?". Gave me a little fit of the giggles. Is it just me that laughs at the stupid things?

Walking around switching off lights in the office yesterday (bright sunshine streaming into every room). Said to a colleague "obviously they don't pay the phone bill". Duh

Was it the 1st of April when the guy asked the question?

Could have been used to the American system, Nini, and confused by ours. There is no 'ground floor' in the US, nor in some other places influenced by the US. It is 'the first floor'. So he may have wanted to know whether "the second floor" was one floor up or two floors up from where he was asking.

I don't get it.

Oh! yes I do......

i've been in buildings where the basement is called the first floor and the ground floor is called the second!
