Today, I had to go to the post office to send of a letter. I walked in and it was awfully quiet. I took a number. I got 001, to give you an idea of how quite it was. I of course walked straight up to the desk, and asked to send my letter. The poor lady who helped me out was very nice about helping me understand what kind of letter I wanted to send, because evidently there are different levels of security.
While I was addressing my envelope, a guy walked in and needed a banking service (the post office does those here). The lady looked at him and said, "Sorry, we're on strike. We're only doing postal services today; use the machines outside." At that point, the costumer went outside, presumably to do just that. A minute later, he came back complaining, "You shouldn't go on strike if the machines are broken."
At that point I was almost done, so I managed to get outside before laughing like a crazy person. Because obviously you go on strike to inconvenience people as little as possible.
So that was my funny story for the day.
Ciao,
Florence
