I walked into this one, so I am partially to blame. This guy gave me the heebies over the phone!!
Anastasia: Thank you for calling the box office, my name is Anastasia. How may I help you.
Patron: I'd like to get a ticket to tonight's dance concert.
Me: Sure thing. Are you sure you wouldn't like more than one (I ask jokingly...dance concerts never sell well)?
Patron: Well, no, I'm a single guy looking for something to do tonight. I don't have a date. I got a part time job, and I'm looking for someone I can spend time with. I've got some prospects, but you know, I'm just looking around.........Can you put a good one on hold where I won't be a bother to anyone?
Me: Um...ok. Well, we don't put seats on hold without payment, but there are plenty of seats available for this show if you wanted to purchase one at the door.
Patron: Oh, well I was going to come down there in a little while. I'm just a single guy and I was going to take the 10:35 bus and that will get me there at 11:25, so I can just come in then and get a tickets. I was going to go over to Perkins to get some pancakes, and then I was going to walk over the...what is that street called...Central...Centerville....oh Central Parkway...yeah, that street. I was going to walk over from the Perkins after I have pancakes and come across Central Parkway and get my ticket then. I'm just a single guy, clean cut, and I'm looking for someone to date, but right now I'm just single and I'm still looking for someone to share my life with.
Me: (holy TMI batman!) Sure, that would be fine.
Patron: Yes, then after I come across Central Parkway and get my ticket I was going to go to Wal-Mart because then I need to get some things from there and then I will have some lunch at the McDonalds before I go back home. Tonight I'll take the 6:45 bus back to the theatre, I'm just a single guy and I'll be coming alone, so that I will be there at 7:35. What time do the doors open?
Me: Well, we'll open the door at 7:30 (please stop talking).
Patron: Oh, well that's great. Man, I used to remember when I would go over to the State University and watch the football games. One time I saw Frankie Valli and the 4 Seasons. Oh man, they were great! I used to go watch Franki Valli sing and he's just fantastic. I remember Frankie Valli was wearing a green blazer and I would go over to the University to see them play. I wish I had had someone to go to the Frankie Valli concert. That would have been great. I'm just a single guy and trying to meet people.
Me: (oh crap, please go away). Um...Ok, we'll just come in to get your ticket when you get here.
Patron: Oh that's great. I'll come over after I get there on the 10:35 bus and after I go to the Perkins to have my pancakes....I'll walk over there across that Central Parkway. Thanks for your help and I'll see you when I get there after I take the bus at 10:35....
Me: (Oh, my God. Save me!) Ok, thank you.

okay, I gotta know, what happened when he showed up
The lone male employee who was in the office at the time dealt with the guy. And he wasn't hitting on me specifically...the guy just goes on and on and on to anyone who will listen to him!!
