Not sucky people just odd. I only answer phones for about an hour a day and forward most of them to other departments.
Me: yep!
SL: strange lady
Me: opening spiel
SL: Wow, it's hard to find your phone number (it is hard to find in the phone book)
Me: I understand it is hard to find, how can I help you?
SL: I only have one leg and I have to climb through my car window to get in to drive and I am very tired.
Me: (other line starts ringing) Ok, can you hold for a minute?
SL: No, I had a hard time finding your phone number and I only have one leg and I have to climb through the car window to get in my car and I'm very tired.
Me: I'm sorry, but you need to hold for one minute, I'm the only one here and I need to answer the other line. (I answer other line, put it on hold and come back to her)
Me: Thanks for holding, how can I help you?
SL: Starts rambling about plants.........
Me: You need to speak to the master gardner, I can't help you with that, hold on while I transfer you.
SL: No, your number's too hard to find and I only have one leg...
Me: OK, just a minute while I get a master gardner for you.
Next caller!
Me: XXX is out of the office I'll transfer you to their voice mail
SC: Great my voice is sore
End of convo heard between older co-worker and IT guy
IT: If you had fat 32 you would have to do that, but not with the system you have
CW: Well, I have fat 58!
(sorry, that last one about had me rolling!)
