Hi TinyD

Its good fun hearing about all the strange phone calls and bizzare

requests you handle at work. People can be so amusing! I bet you are never

short of a giggle during your coffee break

OMG LOL! Brain trust!

Working with the public is really entertaining. At least you should look at it that way or you might want to quit.

I once worked at a dry cleaners while going to college and there was this fantastically rich lady who used to come in and she'd tell us that her sweaters cost over thousands of dollars. They were TOP brands and she was a highly respected doctor's wife. Anyway. She brought in a measuring tape and layed out the sweater on the dry cleaner counter to measure it. Then she'd say stuff like, "Here are the measurements; if you shrink it or stretch it you owe me $1,000 dollars."

I just looked at her and did not say anything. I thought she must be one very unhappy lady. Then I stretched the crap out of her sweater. Just kidding on that last part.

Life must suck for her.

You're too funny, Cali

I get to deal with Insurance brokers and usually a very 'ecclectic' group of Insureds.. can be quite amusing at times... some of them are just downright unreasonable.. lol There was once a broker who was talking to a co-worker who when he found out how much $ he was getting on a policy was a little upset and screamed "WHAT!?!??! I'm only getting $xxxx !?!?!? This is slavery!!! Why don't you just slap me in chains and send me back to Africa"!

I think he went a little over the edge on that one!!! Then you get the ones that call over and over because they "never got the fax/email/paperwork etc. - can you resend?" (For the 10th time? Suuuuuuure)
