Story #1

Business Stops
For No Man!
While
attending a national sales
conference of over 600 people, we
had finally reached our mid-morning
break. As is always the case at
these conferences, most people do
one of two things immediately upon
leaving the meeting rooms. Either
they jump on their cell phones to
return their telephone calls, or
more commonly, they rush to the
restroom first to rid themselves of
their morning coffee, so they can
have those conversations without
having to dance in place. On this
particular morning there was one
enterprising multi-tasker, who
decided to accomplish both at the
same time.
With
that many people at a conference
rushing to the same spot the
normally expected line ensued. Most
of us exchanged glances of amazement
as this gentleman carried on his
conversation through the numerous
background flushes, all of which had
to be heard by his customer. We all
knew it was a customer since voices
are always raised during cell phone
conversations and the bathroom
acoustics reflected and reverberated
every word so we all heard the
conversation whether we wanted to,
or not. He then continued his
conversation while he entered the
stall, took care of his own personal
relief effort, and of course,
flushed.
After super salesman left, a few of
us had to inquire as to whether this
chosen method of communication made
the customer feel particularly
valuable, or more like something
that would also have been flushed in
the same room.

Sample Stupid Story #2
Fax It
To Me
I
work for a large corporation on the
east coast. One of the ongoing
discussions in our weekly staff
meetings has been various ways to
cut operating costs. The best tip
of the week earns somebody $200
cash. So all of us are thinking of
ways to continue to do business
while cutting costs.
Management also puts out memos and
discusses changes with us on cutting
costs. A big issue in our company
are people who use the copier and
fax machine for personal means and
not business. Something like 50% of
our copying costs are personal in
nature. Many staff don’t have fax
machines at home, so they tend to
just do a quick fax or two at lunch
or after hours.
Well, we just had a long meeting the
previous day on how much the company
pays for faxes-the paper, ink, and
phone use. At the meeting
management had passed out a blue
folder containing a memo
specifically stating personal faxes
tie up the line and that the fax
machine was for business faxes only.
I
walk into the office the next day.
Business is humming. In the copy
room was a coworker receiving page
after page of faxes. She must have
had close to 100 pages already.
When I asked what the important
business was, she proudly told me
she was getting purchase offers on
her house, because she didn’t have
time to do this at home.
Unbelievable! This was the morning
after our big meeting telling us not
to use the fax machine for personal
reasons. To make things even worse,
she was holding the memo in her
hand!
Meanwhile, another coworker was
waiting for a business fax-something
that meant real money to the
company.
FYI, the ‘fax stealer’ later “quit”
for personal reasons.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME?
Ah, the age-old question. How about a chance to be an author? How
about a little fame?
Imagine walking into your local bookstore (insert
name here) with your family or friends and picking a book off the
shelf-and your name and story are in print. How great would that feel?
Imagine.
Get in on the ground floor. Be in the first book. Other Stupid Stuff
books are planned, but there is nothing like being in the first book.
You know, like the first Apprentice (remember?), or the first to win
American Idol, or the first winner of Survivor.
Sure, there have been other winners, but everybody remembers the
first.
Not to mention the chance to win some
money just for sharing a stupid story!
