Our White House: IF YOU DON'T COOPERATE, I'LL NEVER BUY A CAR FROM YOU AGAIN!!

SO

I used to nanny for a family of three boys. When I quit nanny-ing for them, the boys were 15, 13, and 8. I know.

Mr. and Mrs. X were about to leave to go on a trip to someplace extremly fabulous and outside of the country. It was around 8ish in the morning. Mrs. X was having a problem locating the keys to the van that I was to drive the boys around in while they were gone. She had finally given up and decided she was just going to have to have another set made at the dealership. The following is their conversation (i only was able to witness Mrs. X's side of the conversation so I had to embelish the other side a tiny bit).

Mrs. X: Hi, I've lost my keys and I need to have another set made. When will they be done?

Car Guy: mumblemumblemumble

Mrs. X: I'm not going to be able to come to the dealership today, I'm leaving to go out of town today. Is it ok if I send someone else? Also, is it possible to have the keys made today?

Car Guys: mumblemumblemumble

Mrs. X: No, we are both going out of town. Can't I just have someone else come down?

Car Guy: mumblemumblemumble

Mrs. X:(starting to sound impatient): Look, I am leaving the country in less than an hour. I need those keys TODAY or else my nanny isn't going to have a car to drive my children around in.

Car Guy: mumblemumblemumble

Mrs. X: (sounding flat out angry now) No I don't understand! If you don't get those keys made today I will return the van immediately!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr. X: we need to leave right now!!!

Car Guy: mumblemumblemumble

Mrs. X: (livid): YOU LISTEN HERE! I NEED THOSE KEYS TODAY!!! RIGHT NOW!!!! OTHERWISE MY NANNY ISN'T GOING TO HAVE A CAR TO DRIVE MY CHILDREN AROUND IN!! IF YOU DON'T DO THIS, I AM GOING TO RETURN THE VAN AND I WILL NEVER BUY A CAR FROM YOUR DEALERSHIP EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Car Guy: (i'm sure totally confused, bewildered, panicky) mumblemumblemumble

Mr. X: (walking up the stairs to the front door)I'm leaving with out you!

Mrs. X: THIS IS TOTAL B. S.(except she totally said it)!!!!!!I'M NEVER BUYING A CAR FROM YOU EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!! (hangs up phone in a huff)

Although they are very wealthy,they didn't usually have to break out the "I'm richer than you and should therefore have and get whatever I want" pimp slap except for very special occasions. It was all I could do to hold back the enormous need, not desire, but need to roll all over the floor laughing at how ridiculous Mrs. X was acting on this VERY special occasion.

Now, a couple of points must be noted, first off, she never even said who she was. Secondly, she had accidently packed the car keys with her youngest son's stuff who was going on an over night trip with his school, so they totally turned up the next day. Thirdly, b/c they have a bunch of minions doing what ever they want, they totally had an extra set of keys made for them while they were gone. Evidently before they left on their private jet, she hurridly wrote a note giving who ever the permission to take the van down and have keys made AND had it notarized for authenticity.

I sure wish I could throw tantrums like that. I suppose that just explains where her kids got it from.
