People... they are just so darned interesting.  Today I actually met a lady Kevin had told me about last week.  She's a whole case study in wackadoo.  An asian lady, I'd probably put her in her mid 50's.  She came in one day last week wanting her oil changed and something else looked at on her vehicle.  She followed Kevin out into the shop, bummed a cigarette from him, and then asked if he was the manager. He informed her that he is the owner.  She says, "Oh! You owner! You must be rich. I'm single. We should date."  He said (verified by the other guys), "Umm... thanks, but I'm married and I'm not rich. My wife has all the money and I like it that way." He told me all about it that day. The guys and I were razzing him pretty hard about his "new woman".

She came back in today. Problem with her alternator.  Takes one look at me, gives me 'the face' and tells me she wants to speak with the owner because she talked to him before. I knew right away who she was... so I smiled, stuck out my hand and said, 'Well, you spoke to one of the owners before. I'm Mrs. Owner, the other owner. You spoke to my husband."  I got the weak hand shake and, "Oh. You Mrs. Owner. I see." So I told her to wait and I'd go get Kevin.  Meanwhile, Bryan... our lube tech had already spotted her and went to tell Kevin that she was here, then he went to hide in the bathroom. John, the other tech, just said "Uh-oh." and went on working on the car he was involved with.  I walked up to Kevin and Chris and announced, "Kevin, your girlfriend is here." Chris...who had no idea of what was going on... was trying to sort out if he should hit his dad or something...then just looked puzzled when I started laughing.  Kev went to talk to her, which just prompted her to go out to the shop and hover around while the guys were looking at her vehicle.  All she would say to me is "You got lots of hair. Where you get all that hair?"  Me, "Umm... it grew there, so pretty much the standard method of hair growth."

I still don't know what all went on while she was out in the shop,but Chris told me before she left that she was working his nerves and I think he said she goosed him.  Eventually, Kevin handed me her ticket and said "no charge. I want her to leave." I said ok... so Chris backed her car out of the bay... with her in the back seat.  His comment upon walking back into the office was "Yeah, so I went ahead and installed a pipe bomb in her car. No charge for that."

Nut job!!
