beware! the world is full of FRUITLOOPS!
Saturday, September 27th, 2008This is a cautionary tale. Check out this weirdo that came into work today: I can now look back at the incident and laugh at the absurdity of it all but at the time it was very frustrating.
A lady drives in to work and parks her car in our driveway and proceeds to lock her keys in the car. After informing us of her mistake she calmly takes a seat while we endeavour to get her car open for her and all the while we are trying to compensate for lost business because of the traffic that she is causing to turn away because they can no longer enter our premises. After about 15-20 of no luck and many customers that turned away we called a automobile breakdown service on her behalf so we can get her car open and get it moved.
Here is the kicker:
This lady refused to let the auto club open her vehicle and get her keys out unless we paid for the service call! WTF right? I though this was a joke and started looking around for a camera. It didn’t take me long to realise that she was serious. Her reasoning was that she made a special trip just to purchase something from our business and in the course of doing so, made an error in our driveway. If we did not offer that service or perhaps did not have a driveway then maybe she would not have locked her keys in, so therefore we are liable to pay any service call that may arise.
I responded with "That’s rediculous!" to which she was then totally flabberghasted that I could not see the logic of her arguement. To her, The fact that we should pay for her stupidity seemed like a perfectly reasonable request and she was dumbfounded that I seemed reluctant to pay.
Hello? What planet do you live on lady? I think it might be one of your own fantasy worlds!
This lady continued to argue for about another 40 mins until I had had enough of all the lost business and threatened to hook my truck up to her car and skulldrag it off the driveway so our customers could enter. At this point she relented and agreed to pay the service call but "would be taking the matter further and would definately be writing letters and requesting reimbursments from the owners of the company"
Anyway, although this has nothing to do with training it got me thinking of that song "Flagpole sitta" and the line "been around the world and found that only stupid people are breeding- the cretins cloning and feeding…"
This may sound harsh, but come on… This is one person that should not be allowed to breed. Sorry.
Just wanted to know if any of you guys out there knew anyone like that.
My mind is still blown from the whole experience! but i hope it at least brought a smile to your day
