> I just bought a house in (town), West Virginia, and need a survey...
The internet is doing a wonderful job of bringing Americans closer together than ever.

What town? Perhaps it's near a Beer Leg correspondent.

If you dial our home number as an 800 number, you get a Ford dealership about two hundred miles away. If you are calling them and forget the 800 you would get us. Got so tired of telling people I did not know when their car would be ready and explaining their error to them.

Sorry, I was too busy ROTFL that I didn't get the town.

Ooh, umm, we seemed to have misplaced your car when we sent several wrecks to the crusher. We will track this down, I will have my manager call you tomorrow.

Yeah, the undercarriage was completely rusted out. We have the parts on order. Joe said you signed off on the change and that you realize it will be three or four weeks for the complete overhaul of the vehicle. We'll get you in working order before you know it.

Several cars were stolen last night. To make matters worse, the thieves changed the plates on all of the cars so we cannot tell which are which. The police are on it and we are expecting them to figure this out shortly.

"I suggest a 100% parts replacement on that hunk of junk you brought in here."

we actually did that with some tripods. My boss said, "We can't buy you new tripods but we can service these old ones." wink-wink. They went in the front door of the survey store and came out the back looking exactly like brand new Crain Trimax tripods on a "service" contract.

My old home number here in Arkansas was the same as a very nice resort hotel...except I was area code 501 instead of 510...used to get calls in the middle of the night from folks wanting to make reservations. They would not listen to me trying to explain that they had the wrong area code...so I would take their reservations and tell them that 1. The manager said for me to tell them that if we lost their reservation, the room would be comp'd...or 2. CONGRATULATIONS...YOU ARE THE MILLIONTH CALLER...ALL EXPENSES PAID...

DDSM:beer:
(never had a complaint)

OH NOW WE SEE HOW YOU ARE! MESSING WITH CALIFORNIANS AGAIN!

(510 is East Bay-east of San Francisco).

😉

lol...at least I didn't ask for their credit card information...

DDSM;-)

Must be a cell phone, WV's only area code is 304. Send them to Dave Ingram or DJ (Dennis) Fenton for a referral. I don't know anybody in the eastern panhandle anymore, or I'd help you out.

We actually got a new area code a year or three ago! 😛

Really? I had no idea.

Well... I do know that 703 is still NoVA and they are probably going to commute to and from the eastern panhandle.

I know they added one but I don't remember what it is and I don't recall ever hearing a number that uses the new area code. Maybe it was just so we could say we had two.

681 is an overlay code. Just like Maryland did originally 410/301 and then NoVA did it about 10 years ago too 703/571.

I know... I'm a phone nerd.

WV Area Codes

Okay, I confess, I may have messed with a few of the caller's 😉
But always keep it fun and told them it was all a joke before they started crying.

Me! Me! Me!

> Me! Me! Me!

I was having a brainfart.... Get Tyler to have them call ya! 😉

> My area code is a give-away.

well, not really.
with phone number portability, magic jack, vonage, and a bunch of others Area Codes don't really indicate squat anymore... it does not even indicate the continent.

Googleing "Parsons Surveying" also gets you Henry M. Parsons of Parsons Surveying in New Martinsville, WV.
