Funny Story

About 12 years ago I was working at another bike shop, when a lady came in. She had bought a bike a few months ago and needed some work done. It was the winter and we were slow, so several people were standing around the front counter just talking.
She say's, I need my wheels balanced. Owner replies, OK is one of them bent. She says no, they just need balanced. So we think what we call wheel trueing, is what she is calling balanced, and the owner goes into more detail of trueing a wheel. She gets a little miffed, and says NO, they do not need trued they need to be balanced.
So the owner walks around the counter and ask her to show him, she points at one air valve stem pointing at the floor, and one air valve stem pointing at the ceiling. He picks up the bike and spins one wheel till both stems are pointing in the same direction.
She gets red in face, almost cries, very embarrassed. We dont laugh till she leaves, but we laugh hard.
that was a funny day
