I’ve been lurking here for a bit. I have felt the need to share a few times, but I have been able to supress it. I must post this little tidbit though, it still cracks me up to this day.
I worked for a large wireless cell phone provider. The following exchange made me log off my phone and take an unauthorized break.
Me: Thank you for calling (wireless company), my name is Amanda, how may I assist you?
Him: I have recently moved two towns away and I would like to change my number so that it is local.
Me: Certainly, I can assist you with that, one moment. (Look up local numbers for the new area) I have several numbers you may choose from sir, would you like to me to list them or just choose one for you?
Him: You don’t understand, I want this number, the one I have had for 5 years, I just want you to make it local for me.
Me: I am sorry sir, but your current number isn’t available in that area. The prefix “452” does not exist in that area code.
Him: If you can’t give me this number, I will take my business elsewhere.
Me: Sir, even if you took your business elsewhere they would be unable to give you your current number as the prefix “452” does not exist in that area code.
Him: I’ve told you what I am going to do, why don’t you speak with your supervisor and call me back. click
The actual exchange was much longer than that, but that is the jist of it. I didn’t speak with my supervisor. I did on the other hand leave a long comment on is account in case he did call back. :smack:
