+the8re Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 This conversation is "real" and took place on March 15, 2004 between an Onstar subscriber and an Onstar agent. Onstar: This is Onstar. My name is Hank. How can I be of assistance? Team Muggle: Hello are you there? OS: Yes, this is Onstar, How can we help? TM: Well, I've been searching for this cache. I've never logged a DNF, and I can't bring myself to give in and go home. Plus my battery is dead so my location is unknown. <long pause> OS: Um, ok, so I'm showing you... um, in the middle of a lake TM: I can explain. I was out driving on the ice over a free flowing river, just following where the needle went. But I didn't want to venture into the open water; it looks cold. And wet. OS: So where are you now? TM: I don't know. Battery went dead. OS: Are you off the ice? TM: No, I'm floating on it. OS: OK. So, what exactly were you doing on the ice in the middle of a thaw. TM: I told you, I was looking for "Don't Break the Ice" cache. It looked like a straight shot from the road to a penninsula on the river, so I took the turn . Unfortunately, the ice broke on my way and now I'm drifting. OS: A cache... TM: You're kidding! You've never heard of Geocaching. Well, let me explain... OS: Would you like me to alert EMS for you? TM: Would it count as a DNF? OS: How about a DOA? TM: NO! Wait! I'm getting close to the "I Am A Rock Cache". It must be on that island right there. OS: Sir, I thought your battery was dead... TM: No, no. I must have turned it off trying to turn the backlight on. OS, So... um... EMS... TM: GREAT THINKING! Send EMS to find the other cache for me, so I won't have to log the DNF. Then pick me up at "I'm A Rock". OS: Sir, I don't think... TM: Gotta go, if I'm gonna make the island. Thank you! *SPLASH* OS: Sir? Um. Thank you for calling Onstar. I have sent the signal to lock your doors for you. Have a nice day. Quote Link to comment
