I'm the township treasurer and we were short staffed today so I fielded a few calls.
One time I answered the phone: Montrose Twp, Mary speaking. How can you help me? I quickly corrected myself. The caller and i had a good laugh.
Later..
A resident called to complain that his neighbor was erecting a building on his property that didn't have a permit posted. He ranted for a few minutes so I put him on hold to transfer him to our new building inspector/code enforcer. Today was Bill's first day so I don't have his extension programed in my phone. I walked to his office to let him know he had a call.
Me: "Kevin Peterson is on the phone. He wants to talk to you about his neighbor's illegal erection."
Bill: turns beet red and struggles to hold back a smirk
Me: "That didn't sound right, did it?"
Bill: shakes his head and gives me a full smile.
I walked away like a boss thinking "I'm going to stick to counting money so I don't have to talk to people."
