Sometimes, workdays take an unexpected turn—and for one office manager at a massage therapy center, things got a little too funny to handle. What started as a routine phone call quickly turned into a moment of pure confusion when a customer called in, not to book a massage, but to reserve… a ferry ride.
The Call That Started It All
According to the office manager, the call began normally enough. The customer asked, “Hi, I’d like to book a spot for next weekend, please.” Thinking it was another client looking to schedule a massage, the manager pulled up the appointment calendar.
But things got weird when the caller started asking about departure times, vehicle spaces, and weather conditions on the water. That’s when it hit—the customer had the wrong number.
A Case of Mistaken Identity
As it turns out, the customer had confused the massage therapy center’s number with that of a nearby ferry booking office. The office manager tried to explain the mix-up, but not before a few more hilarious questions came through.
At one point, the customer even asked, “Do I need to bring my own towels?”—a question that could’ve made sense for either business, which only made things more confusing.
Both ended up laughing once the misunderstanding was cleared up. The office manager said it was one of the funniest moments they’d had at work in a long time.
A Reminder That We All Need a Laugh
It’s easy to get caught up in serious work routines, but moments like this show that laughter really is good for the soul. Even a simple mix-up can brighten someone’s day—and make for a story you’ll be retelling for years.
So next time your phone rings, who knows? It might just be someone trying to book a ferry ride at your massage clinic.
