Seconding you on the vampires, dude.
I don't understand how someone spilling hot coffee on herself on one of my trains is a suable offence when she squeezed the bloody cup and admitted to doing so!

Either it's lack of common sense
or they were approached in the street by someone working for a law-firm asking if they've had an accident.

She does seem to be very much into the blame culture
and has been harassing me and an ex-colleague for some time now. Today I used the words "full and final settlement" in an email, which is pretty much me saying "take this and please, please fuck off!"

Perhaps you should call social services and tell them you're concerned about the state of their mental health.
That's one way of getting rid of annoying complainers.

It would be good; she's a total nightmare
and I want to get rid of her before Paris!

You could kidnap her, sneak her aboard the train and when it's halfway through the tunnel, throw her out in the middle.

I'm not sure where she lives
as she's demanding all sorts but not giving much information (she wants company documentation I'm not allowed to give her and getting the arse when I say no!)

Keep refusing and watch as her mental health deteriorates as her demands get rantier.
Then, you've got a better case for Social Services.

Or one to send to the manager and say "deal with, kthxbai"!

Now that's an interesting game to play when working in the complaints department.
Pass on each customer to a colleague but before you do so, make sure you've decreased their sanity. The loser is whoever deals with someone at the time when the customer is having a mental breakdown.

I call this "Exploding Customer Tennis".

In theory, a glorious idea.
In practice, would cause despair to my senior colleagues who would inevitably receive the escalated calls :(

Worse still are colleagues who don't do what you've promised the customer they'll do!

In that case
throw all customer-bombs to your colleagues who don't deal with the customers. Or maybe that's just their interpretation of "Exploding Customer Tennis".

This sounds good.
When I agree to a goodwill gesture, they should bloody well honour it!
