Miracle Whip!

Some of you have seen this, but I just had to post it!
Every once in a while you get those reference questions that make you take a step back and say to yourself: wow, that person is just a little nuts.

Here is a call that I got this week:

Me: Reference, how may I help you?

Crazy lady: He, he, he. Can you hear my grandson in the background... i'm babysitting today.

Me: Yes, that sounds nice.
Awkward pause....

Me: How may I help you?

Crazy lady: Well, I like Miracle whip. You know, Miracle whip? I really like that stuff.

Me: OK...

Crazy lady: the problem is the miracle whip jar is narrow at the top and so I can never get all of my miracle whip out of the jar. I love miracle whip.

Me: OK...

Crazy lady: I have a 32oz. glass jar that is clear. Totally clear. Clear like glass you know?

Me: Yes, I understand the jar is clear...

Crazy lady: Well, this jar is NOT narrow at the top, so I want to put my miracle whip in this jar so that I can get it all out.

Me: Ok... (wondering how she is going to transfer "all" of the miracle whip from the narrow top jar to the open top jar, but deciding not to mention the obvious problem with this plan.)

Crazy lady: I want you to print me out a label for my clear jar that looks exactly like the miracle whip jar.

Me: Ok, well Miracle whip is trademarked food item, so their copyrighted label is not available for the general public to use on their own containers, so I am not sure that I would be able to do this for you.

Crazy lady: Well, you have the internet dont you?! Can't you just go to kraft's website and print me out a label? I mean it cant be that hard.

Me: I can search Kraft's website for you please hold. (go to kraft, find miracle whip, no label to print out---duh!)

Me: Ok, sorry about your hold. It looks like on the Kraft website you can print out a picture of the miracle whip jar, would you like me to print that for you?

Crazy lady: Is it the miracle whip label?

Me: No ma'am. It is a picture of the Miracle Whip jar, so it looks exactly like the jar that you see when you go to the grocery store. Do you think this will work for you?

Crazy lady: I just want the label!

Me: I understand that, but this is the only thing I can find for you. Would you like me to print this out and you can come and pick it up.

Crazy lady: (a full minute of himming and hawwing) I just want the label. That is not what I want. Just forget about it! (hangs up)

I really think I hate adult reference!! Hope you are all having an exciting, miracle whip free, day! Dawn
