Your store damaged my car!!!
This is a story from hubby's work at Bed Bath & Beyond.
It was pouring rain and wind blowing like crazy. Big storm. Lots of construction in his strip mall going on. A woman came into his store "pissed like a wet cat that was just forced to take a shower" (to quote hubby).
She started up with the front end supervisor about needing to call the police and how BBB damaged her car. Hubby was radioed to the front.
Hub: What can I do for you?
SC: I was driving by your store and a tile hit my car!
Hub: Holy sh..I mean, are you okay?
SC: The tile hit MY CAR! It flew off YOUR roof and HIT MY CAR!! You need to call the police and I'm calling my husband!
Hub: Um, well if you truly feel that's necessary, that is up to you. I do have an insurance form that I can fill out but being a Friday, the offices won't be able to contact you until Monday.
SC: You do what YOU have to do and I'll do what I have to do.
(At that, hubby told me she waved him off like you would a dog, like a shooing motion and flipped open her phone and began yelling about her "ordeal" - presumably to her husband.)
So hubby goes upstairs to the offices to find the paperwork and call the local police as the woman wanted. The police come and he came down with the paperwork and the woman was nowhere in sight.
Hub: (to front end supervisor) Where's the customer?
FES: *shrugs, twirls hair and cracks gum*
Hubby: *sigh*
Cop: *walks in* What's going on?
Hubby: *explains situation*
Cop: Let's take a look outside, maybe she's assessing the damage.
Hubby and cop go outside. Woman is nowhere to be found.
Hubby: She said she was calling her husband, maybe she's waiting for him?
Cop: So what hit her car?
Hubby: She said it was a tile from the roof.
Cop: You don't have tiles on your roof. It's flat, probably cement. There some big Styrofoam flats over there though by the construction...
Hubby & Cop look at each other and bust out laughing.
Hubby: You think the Styrofoam hit her car?
Cop: *laughing* Yep, I'm sure Styrofoam can do a lot of damage. The old man probably told her to get her ass back home before she made herself a laughingstock.
Hubby: I'm sure it startled her, but it's not our Styrofoam, and those little pieces aren't going to damage anything let alone a car.
Cop: Don't worry about it son, give us a call if the loon comes back bothering you okay?
Hubby: Thanks Sir.

What is WRONG with people!?
She may be totally dumb, but at least her husband had some sense.
