They're like Dear John letters but kinda not...
Dear Customer,
Just because we are in a small office and what is on the television does not interest you does not mean that you can interupt me five or six times in less than ten minutes with asinine questions while I am trying to finish up writing your ticket, which you need. It also does not mean that I am suddenly your sexual therapist and need to help you deal with the fact that you "allowed" your boyfriend to "convince" you to have anal sex (or, as you said, "buttsex") and now you have to wear adult diapers because of it. No, I do not need to hear about how you can not control your bowels.No, my ongoing silence does not mean that I want to listen to your story; it means that I am trying to be polite and NOT COMMENT on you sharing way too much of your personal life with a complete stranger.
My giving you the afore mentioned ticket and telling you "have a nice day" and then pointedly turning my back on you to work on the computer does not mean that I am your friend and you should keep talking. I am NOT your friend. I do NOT want to know about your personal life and, most importantly, I will NOT engage in a coversation AT THE PLACE I AM EMPLOYED about sexual conquests, lack thereof, or any variation. Not only do I think that is no ones business but my own (which I pointed out several HUNDRED times) but is also unprofessional and will get me FIRED.
You idiot,
Me

The emergency number that is listed on our answering machine is not meant to be used at 4:30 in the morning, nor is it meant to be used because your car was STOLEN. We are not the police, we are not your motorclub, we are not crazy bounty hunters who will hunt down the criminal and KILL them for stealing your beat up piece of shite car. We are the people who changed your oil yesterday. That is all.
But for calling me at 4:30AM and then ranting like a lunatic, I will tell you who and why your car was stolen: it was the one armed man and it is a conspiracy against you. Or maybe it was just one of the many criminals in the bad neighborhood that you choose to leave your car unlocked in. It's a toss up.
