    Your females are weird. I do not even own a loofah.

    The creation of Frankensoap bars is the only reason I ever buy different brands.

    Brill, I heard stories like that all the time from our AAA dispatchers. People are giant fuckwads until they realize there are consequences to their horrible behavior. There was a guy that actually drove to the dispatch center on his spare tire to tell them that the spare tire wasn't installed correctly. He stood at the door screaming at them to let him in until the cops showed up and arrested him. The problem with his spare tire: The plastic lug cap wasn't on because it was a spare and the cap didn't fit the spare like it did the regular rim. I laughed.

    I almost wish people would stop being so incredibly ignorant and mean, but then I would have less to faceplam or laugh about.

    Had a lady tell me yesterday that she hoped my family dies. Because I refused to cover her overmileage on a 200+ mile tow.

    She should have paid for the AAA+ membership. Did you put an "abusive member" note on her account? We used to get little extra notes from our dispatch on the DDS system. It was great to show up already knowing that this member has a history of abusive behavior. Being prepared for them to be all pissed off makes it a lot easier to deal with it.

    A more recent fail:
    I came into work this morning expecting to have to crunch some numbers and do some data entry into an excel spreadsheet. When I got here and started looking at the spreadsheet, I noticed several formulas were wrong or the formula was completely missing and just contained the number value. Like someone was messing with the spreadsheet and screwed it up and instead of fixing it, they just manually entered numbers. So I fixed it all and sent it to my boss for review. The spreadsheet he sent back was worse than the original clusterfuck spreadsheet I started with........I guess I found out who screwed it up in the first place.

    Sadly she was club 212's member. So I can't enter anything onto her membership. Check this out though. Twice a year our computer systems go down for "file resizing." We don't have a backup server. We literally will be handwriting all calls that come in next weekend. It's brutal. Members wait forever and we lose a ton of money. Yet it's "too expensive" for the higher ups to justify getting backup servers. I made a running tally of about a year ago on how much money we lost on cash calls etc. It was over 4k just for Saturday night and Sunday morning.

    We traveled overnight to this town (Palenque for those that care) reach it at about 5am, dead-tired, and wanting a nice shower, every hotel has no rooms except for the most expensive one; we of course did not knew that, so my gf goes and asks for rooms, something like:
    Her: Good morning, whats the price of your room?
    Attendant: so and so.
    Her: Right I'd like a room.
    Att: We have no rooms available until 12p.m.

    The story went like this for about 10 hotels (till the expensive one), not a single one of the guys/gals that were asked, said beforehand that they had no rooms. Fail on us for asking price instead of available rooms first, first place I visit where they dont tell you the hotel is full (or a no vacancy sign)

    Brill... do you work in that building with the horribly ugly dome across from where Borders used to be? I know it's a AAA-something, but I mostly know it for being really. really. REALLY. ugly.

    Oregon/Idaho AAA did that back in 2005 when I first started working for them. I guess they did it every year without issue until that year. They lost half of their customer address data and map plotting data. After that, they finally conceded that they needed a back-up system. It took 3 years to repopulate the mapping servers with correct address info. During that time, they had to have lost tens of thousands of dollars from drivers getting lost and having to pay double calls for drivers that were given incorrect locations. On top of that, the response times went from 14 min average to over 40 min. It was a horrible disaster.

    When I worked for CableOne the LDAP/authentication server went down one night during maintenance. The Raid 5 experienced a complete hardware failure during a backup due to the controller interface MELTING. The server was so old it couldn't be replaced and had to be rebuilt from scratch. 1+ week of nothing working and no way for people to log into their emails from anywhere else.

    You can start blogging about your gaming exploits between your medical stories.
