Has anyone else had this conversation?: Friend - "I'm going to Vegas and got tickets to Circus Day Solay". Me - "How nice. Which show?" Friend - "I just told you.....Circus Day Solay". Me - "Alright, so.....where exactly are you seeing this show?". Friend - "I already told you it's in Vegas. Gee, and I thought you knew all about that place!".
Sam, I have the same people who email me every year to get their win/loss statement no matter how many times I tell them I am not a casino. Nothing surprises me anymore.
Sam, I have had that conversation as well as the following: ME: Have you ever seen Monty Python's Flying Circus? THEM: No, I don't like the circus
When I was on the support desk I asked someone if they were using a PC or a Mac and they responded 'I'm not sure, how can I tell'.
Sure, I've had several of these type conversations, but this one I still tell for laughs: Them: I'm staying at the Mandolin. Me: Oh, Mandalay Bay? Them: No, the Mandolin. Me: Wait, the Mandarin Oriental? Them: (getting frustrated) No! The Mandolin, you've been going long enough, you should know. Me: Yeah and I know there is no Mandolin hotel. There is the Mandalay Bay and the Mandarin Oriental. Them: Yeah, that's what I said. Me: (me, knowing I lost IQ points talking to this person)
Oh, Sonya! In case I don't have time to pm or email you, would you mind sending me my win/loss statement? I know I am down this year so far, but I would like it on paper, you know. When should I expect to receive it?
Sonya - that surprises me, and then it does not. People can be so thick. The amount of stupidity I encounter out there makes me wonder how the human race has survived. Watched a news article today about how people are falling victim to a scam that Obama is paying peoples gas and electric bills. One bank said they had 10,000 people scammed. How in hell do they think he is going to pay their bills. (forget the whole democract/republican/politics issue). geez! About as dumb as those that say " I am going to Vegas, staying and playing at NYNY. How bad will it hurt my comps at Harrahs if I do not stay or play there?"
