    paging Dr. annoying! (long)

    Why do people like repeating themselves. Are their brains on skip. Don't they have any new material???

    This youngish guy, maybe in his 20s, comes up with the biggest shiteating grin ever. He says in the best impression of Troy Mclure voice from the SImpsons "Hi! My Name is Dr. Annoying and I'm in room 606! I need a taxi for 6 am!" Like just grinning away.
    Um ok. So I call one and it comes at 5:50. I call Dr. A's room and tell him that's it's here. He says ok.
    At 6:02 he strolls out, still grinning away. He is damn lucky that the taxi didn't drive off. Usually people come after being told that it is here, but not Dr. A! What an ass.

    So later, he's comes in about 2 am, still with that nonstop creepy ace ventura grin, and says, "Hi my name is Dr A and my key doens't work! My room SUCKS! My bill is all messed up! And I lost my phone!" Grin grin grinning away!

    I managed a "Sorry bout that..." before fixing what I could. Which was just the keys.

    "Noooo problem!" Grin grin grin.

    I think only the joker grinned more than he did. Me thinks the Dr. was on drugs too much.

    ******

    So I get a call at about 1 am, and it's a caller who has a reservation and wants to check on it. I tell her that the reservation was canceled and she FREAKS. Ok, well I'll just put a new one. Whoops, there isn't any more left.

    "Ohnowellit'syourfault! Ididn'twantitcanceled, andnowIcan'tfindanother!" *gasssssp* "I'mgonnacryhowcouldyoudothis! Myflightplansarealreadymade! Thisroomwasguaranteed!" *Gasssp sob sob*

    I said, "It wasn't me that canceled--"


    "Ohnowellit'syourfault! Ididn'twantitcanceled, andnowIcan'tfindanother!" *gasssssp* "I'mgonnacryhowcouldyoudothis! Myflightplansarealreadymade! Thisroomwasguaranteed!" *Gasssp sob sob*

    I said, "I'm sorry but there are no more double left--"

    "Ohnowellit'syourfault! Ididn'twantitcanceled, andnowIcan'tfindanother!" *gasssssp* "I'mgonnacryhowcouldyoudothis! Myflightplansarealreadymade! Thisroomwasguaranteed!" *Gasssp sob sob*


    I said, "Only the manager can help you but he not here--


    "Ohnowellit'syourfault! Ididn'twantitcanceled, andnowIcan'tfindanother!" *gasssssp* "I'mgonnacryhowcouldyoudothis! Myflightplansarealreadymade! Thisroomwasguaranteed!" *Gasssp sob sob*


    I said, "I'll call him and ask him what to do." I hangg up. Yay for being able to hang up!

    But she calls again and again and again, bassically saying "Ohnowellit'syourfault! Ididn'twantitcanceled, andnowIcan'tfindanother!" *gasssssp* "I'mgonnacryhowcouldyoudothis! Myflightplansarealreadymade! Thisroomwasguaranteed!" *Gasssp sob sob* over and over again. I thought I was going to go mad!!!!

    I did manage to call the manager and he said, "Tell her to f*** off, she's prolly a scammer" in a really sleepy pissed off voice before hanging up. Well ok then.

    But that doesn't work, I'm glad to say this has a happy ending...sort of. After doing my audit between her yapping, I checked the computer again and lo and behold! Someone must've canceled their double and I was able to book her. Yay!

    When she inevitably called again, I expected her to be thrilled, but all she said was "Ohnowellit'syourfault! Ididn'twantitcanceled, andnowIcan'tfindanother!" *gasssssp* "I'mgonnacryhowcouldyoudothis! Myflightplansarealreadymade! Thisroomwasguaranteed!" *Gasssp sob sob*

    I said, "Ma'am LISTEN TO ME. I was able to get you that room you wanted."

    She said, "Ohnowellit'syour-- huh? Is it at the same price?"

    I said it was and phew she got it! Finally! She didn't call again! Actually, I don't know cuz it was time for me to leave! Yes this B**** kept bothering me for 6 hours straight! I should've told her to eff off like the manager said to. But woe is me, I'm too nice.

    Sigh.

    Where I work if you don't show up by audit, you're a no-show. Sorry. Too bad so sad. Should have called earlier. Dr. Annoying may have made some kind of Ace Ventura grin when he was five and his face stuck like that like mom warned us would happen.

      Yeah something about him seemed off. I know how pple smile, naturally, and his grin wasn't like it. Don't get me wrong, I like it when pple smile and be happy at our hotel, but he was weird. And why did he keep saying he was a dr.? Were we in a hospital???
      He was super annoying but I'd rather have 20 of him than that WOMAN. Man, what. part of the managers not here, call back later didn't she get???? Seven hrs straight. I'm getting a headache just thinking about it again. *sips mojito* ahhh rum. ^_^

        Is Dr. Annoying related to Doctors Howard, Fine & Howard?

          My pilot's wife does the repeating thing. How I managed to make it through to the end of Balloon Fiesta yesterday without throttling her or having a catastrophic brain-to-mouth filter failure, I don't know. 10 days straight starting at 5am.

            I think he's related to Dr. Rosenpenis.

                Someone on the bus was doing that the other day. He kept saying "you can't get a job these days if you don't have computer skills" and "everything is going high tech" VERY LOUDLY about once every 30 seconds throughout a 15 minute bus ride (also...no shit Sherlock). I had a neighbor like that too. Her brain would just get stuck on skip. Same info over and over over. Kill me please.

                  Ugh. Must be the brother of the hyper-cheerful Stepford-smiling SC I remember dealing with one time. Can't stand people like that. At best, it's phony. Usually it's a passive-aggressive way to irritate people.

                    You do realize that you also trained her to continue behaving that way right? She got what she wanted by whinging incessantly at you. And it only took her seven hours!

                      This is the way almost all companies work, I think. Yes, some places have strict rules which customers can't get around, but most are training the general population to be SCs. Every time someone gets their way because of an overruled a policy, that's reinforcing the behavior. It's why I couldn't be a manager. I like rules, I don't care about excuses, and I don't like exceptions. I'd be fired almost immediately.
                      Replace anger management with stupidity management.

                        I hate that particularly annoying subspecies that thinks if they get EVERYTHING out before you can object, they win, and get whatever it was they wanted

                            YES!!! I thought joker and ace ventura was a good description but he was Exactly like that Bobgrin!!! uber creepyyy!

                            And yes I shouldn't have been spineless and reinforced her behavior. I guess what got me was that she didn't swear at me, thus making me angry. Sad that that's what did it. If it's any consolation, I posted as a warning, she's out there!! Don't be spineless!!!

                              Technically the SC got her way NOT because of an overruled policy, but because of a cancellation. Though I'd be sorely tempted to "forget" to tell her about the cancellation. "Ooops, ADD moment, sorry."
