What to Say or Do to Immediately Lose Your Texas Card

Long before I was in radio, I worked at a gas station that was right off of Interstate 20 in Lindale. In my time there, I got to meet a lot of different people. These people were mostly just passing through. One interaction that I will never forget involved a woman who came in and asked about using the bathroom.

Problem was, she wasn't saying bathroom, she was saying washroom. Of course, I had no idea what she was talking about. Finally, after a frustrating back and forth between us, she finally said restroom and I was finally able to figure out what she needed. Afterwards, as she and her family were checking out, I apologized for the miscommunication and asked where they were from. Boston. It all made sense.
