It sounds dirty but it's not

[TWOLF]

I've been delayed from posting on the site for many weeks due to illness and other issues I won't go into detail. Needless to say I'mmmmmm backkkkk

This is a true story and I wish it never happened, I almost burst out laughing durring the call but had to maintian my composure.


Sc:Hi I was wondering how to get my family memeber off my account?
Me-I would be more then happy to go over that information with you. What where you thinking about doing?
Sc:Well all I need to do is get him off really
Me:Well you do have the option of changing the account into his name or cancelling the line with penalty
Sc:I'm not sure if I want to get him off that way are there any other ways?()
Me:No not really you could just leave him on the account for the time being
Sc:I know but I need to get him off
This went on for 10 minutes and she never finished with I need to get him off the account. I had to share this even if for a laugh

Does she by any chance live in West Virginia?

My mother and grandad were having a conversation once about my mother's co-workers taking days off.

Now bear in mind that 1) In Britain, "having it off" is a euphemism for sex and 2), I was about 12 years old at the time.

M: She said she's having it off this week.
G: What about next week?
M: She's having it off then too.
G: When was the last time she had it off?

12 year old me: <snicker>

This was waaay long time ago, the ISP I worked for used to sell unix shell accounts. Lady customer calls about her unix shell account, speaks to male customer service agent. He says "okay, I'm fingering your account" (finger being a unix command to show details of a particular account). Customer is LIVID and has to be transferred to supervisor.

That's a good example of why you should use layman terms and not industry jargon when dealing with customers.

She was in the south but where I don't remember another one called in about having a phone turned on for a relative and goes I was just trying to get him turned on.

my favorite from last week, we use a remote connection program to log into other ppls pc called vnc....

I log in, this lady says "ok, you're in me"

..... I died laughing inside

Last night I had a lady call and was looking for a ball that had four bungee tugs on it. We stopped carrying that. And she asks me the following.

"Do you have anything else for four play?"

Without missing a beat and acting normal I said : "We do not carry anything for foreplay." Laughing like a madman inside.

Three or four items later she realised what she said and nearly hung up out of embarrasment.
