Some people...

This happened a few nights ago...

Woman comes in around a quarter after 12, asking about a room.  I tell her we're sold out, but she's one of these types that, instead of just going away when I tell her how the hotel next door has rooms, she insists that I call them, and then asks me several questions to relay to the person on the other end of the

Mmmmmm. I don't miss Carbondale mostly because of people like these.

Well, in fairness, I dunno if she was a local or not... supposedly she'd be traveling and she and her husband stay awake.

BTW are you saying there's no annoying people who live now? Wow, I want to move there! :)

That's the problem with working with the public. You have to actually talk to them. Koodos on not busting out in laughter.

Actually wasn't really find it humorous, more annoying. The girl struck one of those, "I'll say anything to get a cheaper rate, even resort to nagging" types. It's especially irksome because I'm full but for some reason, she expects me to play tour guide and direction services to her.

Ahh, well. Luckily, most the people I encounter are sane. :)

Of course it's not funny to you, silly. You're the one who had to put up with that and similar crap. :p It's like someone demanding a bookseller to go bring then that blue book they saw on TV a year ago even though they don't know the title, author, the general theme of the book, or what show it was on. But they *know* the employees can find it because they saw it once at another bookstore right after the show. The conversation is hilarious unless you're the poor bookseller who has to put up with that kind of crap on a daily basis. Speaking of which: http://notalwaysright.com/ Awesome sight. There's even a hotel section you might enjoy. :)

Hmm.. has someone worked in a book store before?

BTW, keep meaning to ask, where did you get that avatar? Can't help but think it looks a bit like that chick from Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame, but I'm guessing it's probably from some anime show I haven't seen.

haha, what a weirdo! Well it may have seemed annoying at the time, but at least you have a funny story to tell people now :)
