Services

People, relatively understandably, seem to get the various roadside assistance groups confused.  Mostly, they get us confused with BCAA, and ask us things our company doesn’t do.

In the course of this confusion, I’m getting increasingly familiar with BCAA’s various services, regardless of my incapability to provide them.  One of the more common ones is the “TripTick”, which according to their website is a sort of map-type thing of the route involved in a road trip, with destinations and the like all pasted in.

Normally, this would hardly be worth comment, until I got a call this morning from an increasingly irate man demanding his “TripDick” … Honest to god, this gent had no accent, no speech impediment, and immaculate enunciation, other than on this particular request, which each time was flawlessly pronounced as a “TripDick.”

Were it not for his genuine fervor and bilious rage as I debated with him regarding the impossibility of arranging a service for him that we don’t, in fact, have access to; I would have figured he was trying take the piss out of us.
