A Couple of Gems

It's been a while since I've had a real Lulu of a patron at the ticket window. I got two in one day this week!

First one was a lady from another town who didn't want to drive "all that way" to our venue if she was going to have a hard time seeing the stage. I explained our seating arrangements, which are quite roomy and well laid out. That wasn't the problem. Y'see...she gets awful cricks in her neck, which lead to migraine headaches, if she has to look around someone taller than she. She wanted to know how she could be certain that wasn't going to happen. I have to admit she threw me for a loop with that one! Finally, I explained that we don't keep records on the physical stature of our patrons, so I could not assure her she would be able to comfortably see around the person in front of her. She thanked me and hung up. A few hours later, she called back and ordered her tickets. I guess she decided the pleasure is worth the potential pain.

Some time later, a lady called and asked, "What have y'all got going on there tonight?" I provided the name of the evening's event and then explained, "...but we're all sold out, unfortunately." She snapped, "I didn't ASK you that!" She went on to ask me exactly what the show entailed and how long it would last. Is that weird or what? I wanted to say, "What's it to ya, honey?"

People...are...so...damn...weird!
