    Heres to sharing some funny work stories :)

    Me: “Thank you for calling, how may I help you?”

    Guest: “Hi, yes, I’m calling because your hotel charged our credit card twice?”

    Me: “Okay, ma’am, if I can have your name, I’ll look you up in the computer and we can get this straightened out.”

    Guest: *morphs into an uber-witch in 3 seconds flat* “Straightened out? D**n right you’re going to get this straightened out! You charged enough for that crappy little room, I’ll be d**ned if we’re paying for it twice! My husband works too hard for his money to be charged double for something like this! There wasn’t even a BAR there!”

    Me: “I’m sorry, ma’am, but if I can just have your name and the date you stayed–”

    Guest: “That’s just IT! I was charged on two separate DATES. My name is _______ and my husband and I stayed there on June 9th. There’s another charge on there for the 17th, I want this fixed!”

    Me: “Yes, ma’am. I understand, ma’am. I’m looking now, ma’am… okay, I see the problem. You did stay here on the 9th of June. I’m showing that someone by the name of [husband] stayed on the 17th.”

    (There’s dead silence for a moment, and then whispering.)

    Guest: “What?”

    (At this point my stomach falls into my shoes, because I can hear her mind ticking away, and I know something she doesn’t: another name is listed on the screen with her husband’s for the June 17th stay, and it’s NOT HERS.)

    Me: “Um… ma’am?”

    Guest: “I see. You’ve been very helpful.”

    Me: “Thank you ma’am. Can I help you with anything else today–”

    (At this moment the woman drops the phone but does not hang up, and I hear her begin to scream at someone, swearing in combos I never would have thought up. I hang up quickly and try to go about my business, making a note of it to tell my boss. Then I get another phone call…)

    Me: “Thank you for calling, how–”

    Guest’s husband: “I want to talk to your manager, you stupid little ***ch! You dumb little ***t, you probably just cost me my marriage and I am going to sue your ***thole hotel for every penny it’s worth! Do you hear me? Do you?!”

    Me: *click*

    I got one.. Happened to me XD
    So I had just finished stacking CDs onto the rack. It had taken me FOREVER so I was feeling pretty triumphant. So I turned around because I figured I'd go and reward myself with a drink of Iced Tea. So I'm walking and all I hear is "CRASH CLATTER BANG" and the sound of footsteps. I see some little twerps running away giggling madly. I was pretty peeved... I take a few deep breaths and head back, abandoning my jounrey towards the vending machine. I spend about 10-15 minutes piling the CDs. Finally I've finished. So I'm pretty thirsty and before I even get the chance to STAND UP some lady walks by and clips the rack with her large bum! The CDs all go FALLING, tumbling towards the ground, OH THE HUMANITY! So she apologizes quickly and I say "It's okay" but it sounded a little more like "Watch where you're flipping going thunder thighs."
    Eventually I get the CDs all piled and finally get the the vending machine. Lo' and behold there's no Iced Tea. Luckily there's a store right across from mine that sells bevarages and such. So I tell the manager I'll be back in a flash I'm jsut REALLY thirsty. I get my Iced Tea... But.. I trip over a purse by a bench... And it belonged to our dear Mrs.Thunder Thighs herself!
    D'oh!
    In the end I did not get my Iced Tea... And when I get back the CD rack is tipped over... Again...
