I'm explaining that some of my coworkers left for breakfast. A couple asked if I wanted to go, to which I replied yes (if only to get out of the office for an hour), and then asked if I could get a part number for something we're working on. While I was looking up the part number, they fucking left. 
So now I'm sitting here, literally alone. And not happy.
I'm saying WTF? Who are the mean aholes?

I'm saying we call this "shop-by-phone" And try to return the annoyance for as long as possible.
Customer: do you sell rulers?
Annoyed me
Why yes!
Customer : How much are they?
Me playing along: well do you want a primary ruled to the 1/4" mark or a full 16ths? one
Customer: I dunno the difference??
Me: Well one is ruled to the 1/4" and one is broken down to sixteenths
Customer: Oh the sixteenths one definitely!
Me: plastic, wood or metal?
Customer getting annoyed that the phone call is now taking longer than the trip to our OPEN TO THE PUBLIC SHOWROOM would have taken. Umm wood I guess
Me: Hole punched for a binder or no holes?
Customer. I JUST NEED THE PRICE OF A F'IN RULER!
Me: 6" or 12" ?
Customer: Maybe I should just come in and see all the choices
Me: Thats an excellent idea!

because, having spent time at the store listening to Mikey on the phone, I can even imagine his chipper tone of voice as he plays with these customers!
