spoiled rotten whiny soccer mom

[blas]

Haha, VRS, I totally agree with that statement. I have yet to see a stereotypical soccer mom go off-roading in the wild tundra of Wisconsin deer hunting with her Ford Expedition.

Most "off road" vehicles I see around here are using the term "off road" the wrong way. "Off road" doesn't mean you can hop all the medians and islands in the Wal-Mart parking lots!

Ugh!! I hate Hate HATE soccer moms. I vow to NEVER drive one of the above cars. the object of my affection right now is the Dodge Challenger.

anyhoo, who does this woman think she is...J-Lo?! If she's that concerned she can hire a personal assistant to tend to her whiny needs.

I have wondered (and still do) how you have refrained from strangling any of these customers. I'm also amazed that you didn't argue with her. I want to argue with her and I wasn't there. Does she really think that you have information on every rental/vacation property down to the very bedding type, color of the shower curtains, and designs on the dishes in the kitchen? Would she refuse to stay in a beautiful beach front property merely because it didn't feature Hello Kitty bed spreads for her pweschious wittle SC-in-training?

"soccer moms" typically drive Volvos like you mentioned as well as any vehicle with off road capability even though they obviously dont need it (i.e. Expedition, Tahoe, Yukon, Hummer, Durango) and of course minivans of any kind although Dodge Caravans and Chrysler Town and Country seem to be a favorite of soccer moms. Every summer on a Saturday, our parking lot is jam packed with these big ass vehicles and many of them will have like 7 or 8 bikes strapped to the back They just buy these vehicles as a status symbol.

Am I the only one who read the title as Volvo Driving Soccer Mom?



VRS, I could NEVER manage your job. I you.

Well madam, once you've satisfied yourself by answering these questions, let me know, and I'll get the builders working on those two detachable bedrooms for your ideal property.

It'll be ready in May, June or July.

Honestly, this is what I'm thinking.

What the flipping fudge.

(you can, of course, substitute more colorful words. )

Guest: it sounds to me like you're just throwing out random properties without knowing or caring if I would like them

And your point is?!

Guest: you havent even gathered enough information from me to recommend a property, you are supposed to ask how many children I have and there ages so you can determine the appropriate bedding and you havent even asked what I look for in terms of decor....(and she went on lecturing me about the questions I am supposed to be asking her)...

Well, why didn't she say so in the first place?!

[HorrorFrogPrincess]

So now you're their personal assistant/bitch?

Wait, so in her mind "appropriate bedding" for her kids was an issue that needed to be resolved before when she was vacationing, where she would stay, or how much she wanted to pay?
I know that's how I always plan my trips. Around bedding. It's all about the sheets! Nothing else matters!

I think the bedding may have been around whether a cot was needed, but i could be wrong.

Why would you be so worried about the type of place and not have very many speceifcs to give you, ie what dates and how many rooms needed. I'm guessing there would be a LOT of options when given the info that you were. I think I would have started listing every single property so that they got the idea...

aaahhhh, these people are nuts!!!!

Have these people not heard of a little pre planning. Hell I am already planning for a hopefully December trip this year. First thing is a bloody budget and what days we want to go!

How have you not brained someone with the "clue by four"

You have the paitenance of a saint.

Guest: Yea Dave, I want to come down there and I know nothing about the area and was wondering what you might have available

Me: when are you coming?

Guest: this summer

Me: what dates?

Guest: It can be June, July, or August

Me: ok well I can give you some rates..how many bedrooms?

Guest: three or four or five

Me: ok a five bedroom is this much

Guest: thats too much, how about four?

Me: ok this is your rate

Guest: and what property is that for?

Me: thats just a generic rate

Guest: I need to know what property

Me: I cant really give you a specific property without knowing your dates

Guest: well I wont commit to any dates until you give me a specific property

Me: ok you can look at XYZ property

Guest: and you came to the conclusion I would be happy there based on what?

Me: well it is four bedrooms, near the beach like you wanted

Guest: it sounds to me like you're just throwing out random properties without knowing or caring if I would like them

Me: well you can look at the pictures online

Guest: you havent even gathered enough information from me to recommend a property, you are supposed to ask how many children I have and there ages so you can determine the appropriate bedding and you havent even asked what I look for in terms of decor....(and she went on lecturing me about the questions I am supposed to be asking her)...

Well Dave, I just dont feel like I can trust you. I will call back and speak with someone who knows how to provide customer service. Thank you and good day
