You're lucky it's just email.

A friend, we'll call her "M", who worked the ticket booth at a local stage
which hosts touring shows:
1) A well-dressed and likely wealthy woman, we'll call her "B", arrives
wanting to buy tickets for a sold-out show. She is told by M that the show
is "sold out", thus there are no tickets available.

2) B doesn't get it, huffs and puff's and demands that she be sold some
tickets. M sez, "if we have any no-shows..." etc. Unfortunately B still
doesn't grasp the meaning of "hey, we gots no tickets".

3) Eventually B leans into the speak-through hole in the glass and *spits on
the face* of M. M stands in utter dis-belief. At this point B leaves the
premises.

4) A little later, B struts into the lobby brandshing the tickets she has
bought from a scalper outside. M spots her, calls security, and has her
removed from the building and requests that B never, ever return.

5) Days go by. M is called into the manager's office to find out that B has
complained. Mgmt asks M to apologize. M sez, ummm... no, and thanks for your
support.
