Weird stories from my former call center
munchie attackCall centers ought to hire really ugly people, since their customers can't see them. But they never do. I've never worked with any tragically scarred people. But I've worked with some weird people.

Probably the most interesting person in my department, possibly in the entire mega-building, was Lady Margarita, sometimes called the Queen. She was quite short, spoke with great intensity, and worked out every day. She also kept a personal injury attorney on retainer. I suppose that was in case someone injured her personally, which had happened before. She also studied karate in case her legal remedies were exhausted.

One time Lady Margarita returned from lunch in great indignation: "I cannot believe it," she reported. "I got a ticket while parking at the gym. As you know, I work out on a daily basis, and there's no reason why I should get a ticket. I'm going to contact my attorney immediately."

It turned out she had parked in a handicapped spot.

"Why did you do that, Margarita?" we asked.

"Why, do you expect me to walk all the way across the parking lot to the gym, just to work out?" she blustered.

Her attorney thought it was funny too.
