"Call the police."

[BroSCFischer]

2 incidents

#1 - Older gentleman comes up to my desk this morning and tells me to "Call the Police, my cars been stolen." So I call my manager, then the State Police. By this time the gentleman has left the desk, so I go to see if I can find him. I catch him walking down the hall. When I tell him, he needs to wait at the desk for the troopers, he tells me " Nevermind, we found it." So, I made another call to the State Police.

#2 - Another guest (already checked in) comes to my desk this evening. He asks if he could have a room to store his equipment in, like an office, but he'll sleep in another room.

Me: I don't see a problem, as long as you pay for both rooms.
G: Of course I'm not going to pay for both.

Well, jeez, what's wrong with you ... it's not like he was going to actually use the second room ... he just wanted to keep his stuff in it ...



Love your Mark Twain quote, by the way!

Something like that happened when my grandma was still working. A customer came into the store, bought a few things, and left. A minute later, she came running back into the store, yelling, "Call the cops! My car's been stolen!"

The cops were called, and they were taking the woman's information. About halfway through, she said, "Oh, I just rememebered! I drove my husband's car!"

The police and the employees were not amused.

When you read the title, did anyone else immediately think of the Ren and Stimpy episode where they're selling rubber nipples door-to-door?

I hope they levied a fine against her for that.

Many years ago, I went shopping with my mom. Big, BIG mall. We entered through the big department store on the corner. Spent the afternoon shopping, had a great time.

We left, and could not find her car anywhere. We looked and looked. We were pretty sure what row we'd parked in and about how far down. Finally we concluded that the car'd been stolen.

We went back in and asked the clerk to call the police. (This was long before cell phones.) Wonderful clerk asked us, ever so politely, if we were sure we'd gone out the right exit?

Of course we had not. We went out the correct door and there was the car, right where we'd left it.

We've had the stolen car thing happen where I work a few times. I always ask the person where they last parked and offer to help them look for it, before we go calling the Police. I've found the "missing" car every time.

Yes. Yes, I did.
