Right City, Wrong State?

I usually work thirds but covered a second shift recently. I work in one of those cities where multiple states have the same city name (like a bunch of Washington’s or Fairfield’s or whatever).

This led to confusion.

I get a walk-in around like 7 and these folks get checked in, and the lady who had been driving says, "This is [city], [state], right?"

Right city, wrong state.

It turns into a funny moment.

I said, "No, haha, this is [state]."

She asks when she crossed the border and I tell her about five hours ago.

She says, "Man, I really wasn’t paying attention!"

Here is What Folks Are Saying

They should do an episode about that.

There are more dangerous mistakes, though.

This should be studied.
