Check Your Number And Call Again

[calulu]

I work at a call center, one of many run by the large international florist I work for and at least twice a day I end up with some idiot SC that has placed an order with a competitor, has a complaint but is too much of a moron to actually call the company he has the beef with.. sometimes my day goes something like this..

Me: "Thank you for calling blah-blah-blah. My name is blah. How may I help you?"
Rude Idiot: "Order number STD23409777 Yeah, you can tell me where the hell my fucking flowers are. Do you idiots have any idea what you did to my life? My life is ruined and over for ever and ever now. I'm a big shot producer at STupid Monopoly Film Company and you're screwing with the wrong person... I want answers right now. You didn't deliver one month anniversary flowers to my lover yesterday and she had a nervous breakdown and is now in the locked psych ward at Cedars Sinai because of you morons. You ruined our anniversary forever so I want those flowers delivered within the hour to her hospital room or else. I'm a very important person and I'll ruin your life forever.........." and so on for about another ten minutes, speaking so rapidly and hysterically I cannot get a word in edgewise.
Finally blessed silence.
Me: "Sir, that order number is for our competitor, Florist STD. You've called the wrong number."
Rude Idiot: "Oh." click..
Me: laughing loudly.

If that's a lie, it's an awful one. If it's the truth, I think we've just witnessed SC karma in action!

Seriously, though, how insecure do you have to be to have a nervous breakdown over a one-month anniversary? Methinks this wasn't his only lover.

Perhaps that solution is to simply terminate the call once you hear the competitor's order number.

The flowers might not have gotten there but it sounds like the nuts showed up. lol!!!

Melodramatic.

OMG my mom is going to kill me because I forget her birthday. OMG I forgot my 50th wedding anniversary.

Yea, yea, yea, we have heard it all before. By the way, your mom is the least likely person to kill you as she already knows that you are a stupid jerk. Your wife on the other hand is planning your demise as we speak.

I hear these idiots everywhere I go. 2 PM at McD's crying because they stopped serving breakfast 4 hours ago and this dipshitsky promised his mom he was going to bring her breakfast. OMG what was he going to do.

Personally, 4 hours after breakfast is stopped being served he suddenly remembers breakfast.? His mom should kill him.

Methinks Calulu was exagerating to prove her point, rather than quoting an actual example. But after everything I've read on herer, it wouldn't suprise me if that was real call.

[calulu]

Sadly that was not an exaggeration, that was an actual call from a Disney Co producer. If anything I shorted some of what was said and left off that he kept threatening to make sure I was fired. It just happens to be the worst most extreme call to the wrong florist I've received yet. But I have to admit, pointing out to the wrong number folks that they called the wrong place makes me giggle with glee. They are so caught off guard it just shuts them right up.

They are so caught off guard it just shuts them right up.

Too bad they don't have the sense and the vocal ability to...oh, I don't know...APOLOGIZE?
