Almost forgot this one, until another post reminded me of it.
Customer: (blows her nose) Excuse me, but I have allergies. They're really bad this time of year. (Goes on to tell me the woes of having allergies.)
Me (making conversation): Fortunately, I don't have allergies.
Customer: It's like having a bad cold. I'm told that the difference is that if you have allergies, the snot is clear. If you have a cold, the snot is all yucky and stuff. But my nose is just like a water faucet. It's like somebody turned the knob and water is gushing out of my nose. Have you ever heard of that?
Me: No. But since I'm going on lunch break after this call, I'll have the chance to discuss it with my co-workers.
Customer: It would be interesting to know if anyone else has the same symptoms I do.
