My hand to God this actually happened to me today at work! And yes I have witnesses.

Most know I am an Electrical Foreman in the DC local. So this morning one of the residents walks up and says "Mr. Ben, you are an electrician correct?" I am in the middle of pulling a 10 conductor #6 feed from the roof to the basement and 300ft long! It's over 100 degrees in the garage I an working in... drenched in sweat and panting I reply "yes sir"

He then Says "I need help and since you are and electrician I think you are the guy for the job! I got a new phone and I can't get the Sim card to go in correctly..."

This is a 50 year old highly intelligent Jewish man, we have spoke several times and he is fascinated by our work.

It took everything I had not to bust out laughing, unfortunately my helper could not hold it back... I'm literally pulling feeders with all of my might and this guy is asking me mid pull to put the Sim card in his phone! I literally got on the radio and said "guys hold on" put the Sim card in, literally took 5 seconds. He claimed I was a genius and headed back into the building....

I DO have a wild imagination, but there is no way possible I could ever fabricate this story!

City folks got some serious first world problems! Lmao

And the fact that you stopped to help this guy out (when most others wouldn't) says something about you, brother.
