  • Um...it's not *that* kind of call center

    So, I didn't get this call (thankfully) but I got to hear about it from a coworker when I got in today. Apparently this came through around 7pm last night, and started out normally enough....

    R: My lovely coworker
    J: The Caller

    R: Thank you for calling *mycompany* This is R, how can I help you today.
    J: Wow, I didn't expect to get through so fast!
    R: Really? Oh, well we're not that busy tonight.
    J: Oh, so are you the girl I'll be talking to tonight? (*note: Our techs do sometimes ask things like this, as they know there are only a few of us here at night)
    R: Yes, that will be me. Can I get your name?
    J: Oh, well it's J.
    R: Can I get your last name, J? (*note: we need full names from the techs)
    J: Well, I didn't think I'd have to give out my last name on this call...
    R: Ok, well, what can I help you with this evening?
    J: Well, it's seven inches long and three inches wide.
    R: Excuse me?
    J: It's seven inches long and three inches wide.

    At this point, R had to mute the phone because she was laughing so hard, and after asking twice if she was still there, J gave up and hung up. I still wish I was here to see/hear that.

    Well, you've always been telling us other people say you have an appealing phone voice...

    That's funny. I don't care who you are.

          I think he meant 3-inch circumference, not a 3-inch diameter. Padding the estimate, as it were.

            I rang a lady once and asked about her knockers.

            Door knockers.

            I worked for a door and window manufacturer and was looking for a specific sixe.
