    He lost his car

    Just a couple quickies:

    Do I know you?

    The other night, had a guest who kept saying stuff like "Thanks bhskittykatt!" and "Have a nice night, bhskittykatt!" I thought it was really nice to be acknowledged and not be treated like some corporate drone when afterwards I realized...

    I left my nametag at home. And I swear, I'd never seen this guy before in my life. How the hell did he know my name?!?! Talk about going from zero to creepy in two seconds flat!

    CW thinks he may have been a former classmate of mine, since we're in the same age group but...I seriously don't remember him. So it's either really creepy and weird, or it's a huge brain burp on my part.

    He lost his car?!?!

    This was dictated to me by CW when I got to work today.

    SC checked in yesterday morning, and immediately sought the closest liquor store and/or bar. CW directed him to the nearest tavern, and SC drove off and left.

    This morning, SC asks Other MOD and CW if they towed his car. They tell him no. SC then informs them that he lost his car. CW asks him where he last remembers driving it. SC tells them [local hospital]. CW rolls her eyes.

    So SC is apparently now in a cab riding around town trying to figure out where he left his car. I can only hope the cabbie abandons him far away when the fare gets up to more than SC can pay. Someplace far, far away, so I don't have to deal with SC later.

    If he got so plastered that he's blacking out, he's got no business behind the wheel of a car in any case.

      This happens to cab drivers a lot more then you would think.

      i guess they meant to leave that 100 dollar bill on the back seat as a tip. If they do not call back within 24 hours to claim it. It becomes the driver's tip.

          didn't they make a movie about this?
          To err is human, to blame someone else shows good management skills.

            You'd be surprised how often this call comes in

            *RING*

            Me - "Friendly Neighborhood Towing, Argabarga Speaking"

            Them - "Did you tow my car?"

            Me - "What kind of car is it, sir?"

            Them - "Uh, I dunno"

            Me - "You don't know what kind of car it is? If it's a Ford? Chevy? Honda?"

            Them - "Uh, it's black"

            Me - "Well, I have about 20 black cars impounded right now, where would it have been towed from?"

            Them - "Uh, some street"

            Me - "I need a street name"

            Them - "Don't know the name, it was some street... uh, downtown"

            Me - "Well, what was it close to?"

            Them - "Uh, some apartment, and uh, this place that was made of bricks and had a sign on it, well, do you have my car or not?"

            Let's see, you want me to tell you if we have your car when you cannot give a make, model, or location of where you THINK you left it. Generally, I never ask for a plate number, because, well, Mommy always said it isn't nice to be cruel to animals and all that.....

            Me - "I'm going to need more information before I can tell you if we towed your car or not"

            Them - " *Mumble* *Grumble* *Cuss* *CLICK*"

            And these are the SOBER callers.

              And these people have driver's licenses . . .

              Come to think of it, they're probably the same bunch that get out on weekends out on West Wendover and cut in front of traffic without turn signals, throw on brakes whenever they feel like it or barely making it across 5 lanes of bumper to bumper traffic to make that exit at Interstate 40 without becoming Cream of Idiot.

                    Now I'm glad I don't drive, to see what kind of dumb bunnies are out there on the road today. Perhaps it's a miracle the roads aren't as dangeorus as they would seem to be.
