The car show was great. We worked our pachukas off, but it was fun.The only incident involved a woman who won a cooler in the drawing. After lurking around the gift tables for an hour, she finally won something.
When we called her number, she stuck up her nose at the cooler. She said it was too big to take home on the plane. So we offered another gift. She stuck up her nose at a DVD player, a chocolate basket, etc.
Well....FINE!
She said she would ask her son about the cooler, and then she disappeared. We thought she had abandoned her gift.
At 1:00, an announcement was made that all unclaimed prizes would be raffled again. You see where this is going?
We raffled off the cooler. About 20 minutes later, she showed up and said she wanted it - that she had won it fair and square and that we had no right to take it away.
What a huge wussie! She demanded her money back - and I cheerfully did that. She was expecting a fight but she didn't get one. Sometimes, that is the best way to fuck with people. Just be nice and agree. I even gave her an extra dollar just to piss her off even more.
So she went off to complain to another staffer bee about what happened. When she demanded to know who was in charge of this "fiasco," he pointed to me. I guess her attempt to be a tattletale backfired.
And then, I got to drive Luigi back to the museum - and all was right with the world again.
