I just don't get it. I get the weirdest phone calls ever. Seriously, you got to read this. Here is how the phone call went...
Caller: Guy calls our 800# and asks, do you know how long it takes to get from Suffern to some city name.
Me: Excuse me?
Caller: Yes, do you know how long it takes to drive from Suffern to city name goes here?
Me: First of all, I never heard of that city name. Second of all, why in the world would you call RustyBrick to get that type of information?
Here is the kicker people...
Caller: Well, I "Googled" companies in Suffern, hoping they would know.
Me: You what?! Did you ever hear of Google Maps?
Caller: Yes, I have.
Me: So, just go to Google Maps and type in [Suffern to cityname] and it will tell you.
Caller: Oh, okay - thanks.
Seriously, I get the weirdest phone calls. Ronnie told me, this is what you get for ranking too high. I don't think that is the reason we get so many weird calls...

I got a phone call 2 days in a row from a guy looking for a company in our building that is hiring a translator. Our office building has at least 150+ businesses, I was like sorry its just attorneys on our floor.
He calls back the next day, did you see anything in your building? Then after I said sorry can't help you. Then he tries to sell me his translation services for our web clients.
There should be classes to show people how to find information on their own via Google.
