    My real name. That means someone wants me to do something for them, that's the only reason my coworkers even bother talking to me.

      Coming from the database guy:

      "Oops..." [Very real]

        LOL I did one myself once, to freak out my coworkers.

        One day, randomly, I turned on the intercom on our drive thru headsets (only my coworkers could hear me) and I blurted out, "I like cheese."

        My reason? I was eating some string cheese and thought I'd share my feelings on it.

        When I walked back out on the main floor, one of my coworkers gave me a completely creeped out and confused look. It was priceless.
        Here's your sign...

          "Uh-oh...."

          *Crash!*, *Thud!*, or *Rrrrrrriiiiiip!*

          *Splortch!* Accompanied by the aroma of freshly-filled diaper.

          All real, sadly, from my most recent "job" as stay-at-home-mom.

            From customers:
            "My internet's down... again."
            "Why can't I order my porn?"
            "You got a real purty voice hon."
            "I don't want to work with you! The last rep and I troubleshot for 45 minutes, his name was Generic, connect me to him!"

            From coworkers:
            "(State) is down tonight."

            All real, all too often.

              "That guy we refused to do a refund for just told me he has a bomb in his bag" Trust me. Very real.

              "<Work Spiel> This is funny speaking" Serves me right for watching something funny on youtube just before answering a call.

                  "Corporate says they can't find the account application or the $100,000 check." Alarmingly real

                        "Ok, we need everyone gathered together in one place while we conduct the search and siezure. And we'll need to have private interviews with some of you."

                        "There's a gun in that office, so we need to go through there and then lock the door."

                        Both disturbingly real.

                          "Ask me that again and I will make sure you never work this shift again"
                          *Real* Saind by my manager, the second day I worked alone with her........
                          The offending question?..... "Hey how much longer until we can do some drops?" This was the second time I asked her anything about drops. I only said anything because I was sitting on about 500 dollars in drawer.
                          Yeah, not exactly how you want your boss to react to something like that.

                              "Where's the fire extinguisher?"

                              I'm sure it was real, somewhere.

                                "Hey LambChop? Are computers supposed to smoke like that?" (Very real. Used to part time in the tech shop at one of my jobs. I walked into the shop after this question to see a steady stream of smoke pouring out of a laptop. Apparently, whoever had opened it up dropped a bit of their lunch, closed it up, and then left the laptop on. Thankfully, we saved it and the customer was none-the-wiser...though she did ask about the 'funny smell.' >__>

                                And my personal favorite:
