We only allow TV guy 3 calls a day and we track his calls so that he cannot ask the same question again (such as, which actor will play the Incredible Hulk?, only asked about 1000 times, before we instituted our rule)

Aaaahhh!! How annoying!<BR/>My mom sent me the link to your blog because she knew I could appreciate the ridiculousness of certain situations (having worked in a number of jobs that require public service).<BR/><BR/>Great writing :)

I am not lying about this: I treat these questions like I know nothing about the topic, like I've never see a TV show. I just keep asking, "What is that?" "No, I'm not familiar with that" and "Really? A show about an old white man who adopts two black kids? that sounds like hilarity will reign. Is it on TV now?"<BR/><BR/>It takes practice, but you can pretend you know nothing about pretty much

You should tell him that there was going to be a TV movie where Cindy Brady married Webster, and they moved next door to the Tanner family in San Francisco, but the production company couldn't get funding. (The funding hinged on them getting John Randolph for a part, and we all know how that ended.)<BR/><BR/>Maybe his head will explode.

I understand your pain. I think I have had the same patron on the phone, however he wanted the home address of a girl who was on Degrassi. He seemed stunned when I flat out told him I would not give it to him as I felt it was inappropriate and then he wanted to speak to my in charge person which at the time was me. So that was fun. Oh and he likes some Mickey Rooney made for TV Christmas movie.

We have "The Roselyn Sanchez" guy. Calls in and wants to know everything she's been in and if we have it. The problem is, he gives us her CHARACTER NAMES, which we don't immediately recognize. And he slurs his words, making it harder. Every time we end up looking it up on IMDB, and every time we find out we only have two of the things she's been in.

I have a similar problem with a patron we'll call "Ralph." He is obsessed with celebrities bearing the same given name. His questions always involve someone with the name "Ralph" and usually football: who was the guy who played with such and such a college team about 2 or maybe 20 years ago, named Ralph? Etc.
