<HTML>Back to the subject of former employees. Today I arrived back at the shop from delivering a car and was informed outside by a guy I have doing some painting in my office that I had "a real angry lady" inside the shop. I quickly racked my brain who it could be when the back door flew open and this dishevelled looking woman came barreling out the rear entrance screaming about how we are all "a bunch of jealous bastards" and that "we discriminate against Catholics". I asked what she was talking about and she starts waving a prescription pill bottle in my face and tells me that she is a former employees mother (we let the kid go........ 2 YEARS AGO). She then proceeds to tell me that I am jealous of her son because he had his own detailing business when he was 20 (which was out of business in 3 months), that I fired Jason (her son) because he was schizophrenic (Uhhh - yeah is that wrong when the kid tells me that he is going to live in the woods for 6 months because "the devil worshippers" are coming to get him) and that we are all against Jason because of his Catholic faith (news to me - I don't give a damn about religion). The best part of this whole confrontation is that is was all caught on our security cameras (minus sound - dammit!). The look of utter disbelief on my face is frigging priceless! My parting shot to her was that maybe she should look into taking her medication and went inside. Every time I think we have seen it all someone seems to "one up" the last nut job we dealt with. At least we will have the video for posterity sake.</HTML>

<HTML>Scott,
That's the funniest thing I've heard in a long time. Just when you think you have people figured out, along comes a nutball who shakes things up. You should send your video to America's Funniest Home Videos and you would probably have a chance of winning the grand prize of $10,000.</HTML>

<HTML>I should take a screen capture and post it somewhere where you guys can see it. I am sure you would all get a huge kick out of it. The funniest was how she was saying that her son wasn't crazy but she was waving around a frigging prescription pill bottle the whole time she was yelling at me. I was so shocked I honestly didn't know what to say. I only wish the video had sound.</HTML>

<HTML>Scott, maybe she just needed a slug of h20 to take her "Goin Thru the Change of Life Pills" ?, or maybe she had a full bottle of Viagra and deep down wanted a date?. You said that her son's name is "Jason" who wants to live alone in the Deep Woods???. Scott, did your Jason wear a Hockey Goalies Mask???..... Sounds like you had a family of nuts to me!!!!
I'm with Mark, send the video in to Americas Funniest Videos..... Brandy !</HTML>

<HTML>One night I was working late, It was pitch black outside, I had the shutter doors open and my back was to them when I suddenly had this feeling that something was behind me.
It was one of those situations where if I had turned around and found my own dear old mum I still would have jumped out of my skin... so imagine what it did to my underwear when I see a 6 foot hairy guy wearing nothing but a beard and a pair of mocasins. He kind of looked like a naked Jesus, only his eyes were all glazed over and he had a manic grin, he was twitching, panting and jumping about like a wild man.
He looked at me, I backed away thinking that this guy was probably a loony on angel dust (which is the best way I can think of describing him) so then he started padding around the workshop like an animal, wandered up to the counter and just stood there. There were two others working that night and they didn't fail to notice him after much coughing and whistling on my part. we then approached him and started asking him if he was okay, needed help, where he lived, but he just giggled like a maniac. Then he ran off down the road.
He gave me such a fright that it took half an hour for me to stop shaking. Took everybody else at least that long to stop laughing.</HTML>

<HTML>Okay you win the weirdo contest with that one Dan. Only thing I have that compares to that was the transvestite that drove in one day in (are you ready for this) a pink 59 Cadillac. I kid you not. I ended up having to deal with him, her, whatever IT was and had to keep a straight face even though I could hear all the employees and my father laughing hysterically out in the shop.</HTML>

<HTML>Jeeze, you should'nt have told her to take the medication. You should have said for her to get back in the car and stay there until the PCP wears off. "it will wear off in 4-6 hours, now beat it!" That would be awesome! Hollywood is 15 miles from me, are you telling me there are more nutjobs in Canada than in Los Angeles?!!

<HTML>Download the appropriate picture of her holding her pills and have it blown up into poster size, add the caption, "Our competitors will have u taking pills with the job they do on your vehicle, we just give u smiles", or something along those lines. Then u will get the last laugh, daily.</HTML>
