From Not Always Right: The Pen Is Mightier Than The Tantrum
I am in line behind this guy at the drive-thru bank. He’s driving an expensive luxury car.
Customer: “I’m making a deposit.”
The teller starts writing something down as he works.
Customer: “That’s a nice pen. Can I have it?”
Teller: “No. It’s mine.”
Customer: “Fine. Then I am coming inside and taking all of the money out of all of my accounts.”
And he screeches around the corner, parks in the disabled bay, and marches in. I am now speaking to the teller.
Me: “Did that really just happen?”
Teller: “This is a Mont Blanc given to me by my now-passed grandmother. I never let this out of my sight.”
Me: “Yeah, it was crazy of him to ask for that. Is he really closing all his accounts?”
Teller: “It looks like it! My manager looks happy; we’ve been trying to lose this jerk for years.”
(Mont Blanc pens range in price from $270 to $3270)
