And the Suppurating Fistula of a Customer Award of the Day Goes to...

Ugh.

I just had a total rectal hemhorrhage of a customer. The call went something like this:

Silly Customer (SC): I want to book a bus tour to Quebec.

Me: Er, I just book hotel rooms from here, but I can certainly give you the Quebec tourism number. They could help you out with bus tour information.

SC: Ok. What's the number?

Me: *gives the number*

SC: (suddenly VERY angry) But I want to book fifty rooms!

Me: Oh, I'm sorry. Which hotel are you looking for?

SC: WHY DO YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT?

Me: I'm unable to check availability unless you can tell me which hotel you'd like to stay at.

SC: THIS IS PREPOSTEROUS! GIVE ME THE NUMBER FOR THE CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS!

Me: Certainly. *gives number*

SC: *growls*

Me: Is there anything else I can help you with?

SC: *hangs up*

Good grief.

I suspect that what they meant is that they wanted to book *for* a bus tour to Quebec. As in book rooms for the people on the tour...

Still. o_O

Yes, that's what I figured out once he said he wanted to book rooms. But this guy was WAY crazy.
