One of the big things I love about my job is that I get to speak to people all over the US and my bosses do not mind if I tease, play with, pick on, flirt with the customers when they start with me. I'm a bullshit artiste extraordinaire at work, it helped me sell new cars, sell radio advertising, sell jewelery, sell insurance and now it helps me sell flowers. You sell more easily and more volume when you're relaxed and having fun than by being serious and upright with all the customers.
Granted I don't misbehave with everyone, just with those that play up first. But there are a few pitfalls with doing that. One of this is arousing the ardor and interest of pervy older guys and The Tickle Guy.
Today, first thing in the morning I finally got to experience the man my coworkers have named The Tickle Guy.
Answer the phone bright and early, flirty male voice acting like he wants to buy something but within a few minutes we'd devolved from a conversation on the prices of roses to the strange and unbelievable.
The Tickle Guy "You sound young and hot. Do you like to tickle guys?"
Me - "Honey, I am married, ain't NO tickling going on."
The Tickle Guy - "Why? I bet you'd be good at it and it piss him off?
Me - "Piss him off? Hmm, perhaps I should tickle him. So what color roses would you like?"
I play along with his weirdness because I'm still naive enough to think that five minutes of his bullshit is going to translate into a twenty dollar commission. But it doesn't, somehow he starts talking more and more about his sexual fetish of tickling and being tickled.
The Tickle Guy - "So if I pay enough for my roses will you come over here and tickle me till I wet my pants?"
Me - "Sure. Can my husband watch?"
At this point I realize The Tickle Guy is starting to pant and moan!
Just about the time I get my caffeine deprived brain wrapped around the fact that this jerk is jerking off he finishes and thanks me before hanging up! No sale.
He wasn't the only obscene fool calling into the call center today. Others got other jerks going by such charming sobriquets as -
Hugh E Wreckshun
Don Quedik
Ophelia Heiny
Full moon, Spanish Fly in the water or Frat boy pranks? I think The Tickle Guy is a serious fetishist but the others seemed more like dumb fratboy pranks. Who else would tell a stranger - "I'm jacking off to your voice so what do you think about that?"
My coworkers and I were just dying laughing at these fools today.
