A woman filmed one of her co-workers being berated by a man after he called the Chevrolet dealership they worked at instead of an RV one.

Featured Video

The video was uploaded by TikTok user @tierrag.wright where she filmed a phone call between one of her co-workers and an angry RV customer. For over a minute, the co-worker and the man were talking in circles, with the man cursing out the co-worker, demanding to be “transferred” to a different department, and the co-worker trying to explain to him that he called the wrong dealership.

Clearly, the man wasn’t listening, insisting he called the correct number from the sticker plastered on the RV’s door. The worker’s attempts to convince the man that he called the wrong number were in vain, as he was fully convinced he called the RV dealership instead of the Chevrolet one.

“Just a regular day at work,” the TikToker captioned the video.
