It's not an Orble blog, but I've really enjoyed reading the entries from this blog, The Blank Top Chronicles, written by a guy that works in a taxi cab dispatch center.
He's gotta deal with all the idiots, and, for some reason, he's allowed to be extremely caustic with the morons. Which is highly entertaining for the rest of us. From a fun post:
"GIRL: Well, like, he did ask for a name, he asked, "is your name Caroline?" or something, and I said, "sure, whatever."
ME: Ah. And I take it your name isn't Caroline.
GIRL: Yeah, well, what's the difference?
ME: I see. Well, your right, the dispatcher shouldn't have been yelling at him. The driver was wrong to ask "is your name Caroline?" rather than just "what's your name?" but I guess the lion's share of the blame is on YOU here.
GIRL: Huh?!
ME: Well you clearly got in a taxi that you knew damn well wasn't for you. You knew somebody else had called it and you took it anyway. The dispatcher should have been bitching YOU out.
GIRL: Hey, it's not my fault your fucking driver picked up the wrong person!
ME: Well, you did misrepresent yourself as the person who called for the cab, and that is what triggered the radio bitch-out you initially called to complain about. In fact, if you can wait on hold for a second I can conference you with the driver and the dispatcher, so you can apologize to both of them for initially causing this screw up, and they can both give you a piece of their minds. You know what, maybe I can reach the people who had originally called for the cab so they can bitch you out too, then I guess everything would be square. Would you like that?
GIRL: Oh shove it up your ass. (hang up)"
It's good stuff, and I recommend reading through the archives... man, people can be rude and stupid, but how come we don't actually know any of these people?
Read the post on snakes!
