Handy Andy Puns

It's a SHAME we never got to call his eye Seein' Ian.

Customer didn’t understand why he got a shower everytime he turned the bath fans on.

Stumpy.

-Andy got it for being useful in helping some of his roommates out with chores and stuff but obviously it takes on another connotation with his co-workers.

Back when I was at university, I used to earn extra drinking money by working part time at a stationery store. (It sold pens, and it didn’t move about much.)

Apart from a stint behind the counter at a global fast-food restaurant (no, the other one) this was my first real experience with retail. It was also slower paced than the rushed ordering, bagging and despatching of <burger joint>, and in this sedate shop we were actively encouraged to walk up to customers browsing and ask “if they wanted any help”. That phrase stuck in my mind because it had to be exact. I’d usually go off-script (a trait that would persist throughout my call centre career) until the following encounter.

My manager, Clinton, had kindly and lightly admonished me in the past for not sticking to the phrase. I’d paid him no heed, after all I was a cocky little git who thought he knew everything, and what did the difference in phrasing matter anyway? He was the manager on rotation on the Saturday that this happened. I’d come back from my afternoon tea break, swapped over with Sarah, so it was just myself and Clinton on the shop floor. As I approached the single till where the staff would tend to congregate, he pointed out the sole customer in the shop and suggested I approach him, while gently reminding me of the chat we’d had that morning. Of course, I ignored it and advanced on the customer.

“Good afternoon Sir, can I give you a hand?” The last word died in my throat as the customer turned to me, an angry look on his face as he showed me his left arm, which ended just below the elbow. My face paled and my rear iris puckered.

“OhmygodsirIhadnoideapleasedon’ttakeoffenceitwasanunfortunateturnofphrasethatIreallyshouldstopusing” I stammered, gabbling to get the words out and avoid any further issues. My boss loomed up behind me.

“Is this your manager?” the customer asked me.

“Yes,” I gulped, wondering how my day could probably get much worse and deciding that it would probably involve a Gillingham defeat and motorcycle accident on the way home.

“I take it that this is the lad you wanted to sort out, Clinton?” he asked my manager, suddenly appearing to be a lot more cheerful.

“Yup, that’s him, Nemo. I think he’s learnt his lesson now, haven’t you, James?”

I conceded that my manager may have had a point to his rebuking, and stuck to the suggested phrase for the other three years I was th

Moving out of Seattle in a couple weeks and will be needing a truck for the move.

I wanted to give Handy Andy a try, but am having a hard time finding reviews. Has anyone used their truck rental service?

They're significantly cheaper than any of the major truck rental companies, but I wanted to see if the prices were that low for any particular reason...

EDIT: Will be moving to Woodinville and plan to return the truck to the yard on Aurora.
