I don't even know which forum to put this in. That's a little scary.
Today I took the best phone call. I'm really glad I bothered to write down a lot of it after the call on my break. It was a call directed to Hardware, and pretty cleverly so. They already knew the cashiers take all the calls then direct them toward the most relevant department. So I got this one.
Caller: "Hello?"
Me: "Hello there!"
Caller: "Got a brief question for you."
Me: "I'm game."
Caller: "Is your refrigerator running?" *snicker*
Me: "YES. YES it is! It's probably still trying to make its way across the street but the traffic is too damn busy!
Caller: "Oh, whoah. You don't say!"
Me: "Yeah, man! It's wild! You should see this thing go. It's only three feet tall but man can it dash like a bawss! I've never seen a real live game of Frogger like this!
Caller: "And it's a fridge!"
Me: "YES! It's wild!"
Caller: "But do you guys actually sell fridges?"
Me: "No. God, I wish. This one was the one we keep the earthworms in in spring. The thing got loose and is terrorizing the town. Thank god we sold all the worms already. I don't even want to think about what it could do with all those cans of worms."
Caller: *bursts out laughing*
Me: "Well I mean it's a hardware store. All it takes to make a fridge run is the wrong flux capacitor."
Caller: "Oh sh*t! You're right! How much are those anyway?"
Me: "Oh, hell, which one? I've got like six of those bad boys on the shelves."
Caller: "Oh man this I have to see."
Me: "Haha, I wish. Come on down and I'll cut you a pretty awesome key though."
Caller: "Actually I do need some. What time do you guys close?"
Me: "Ten. Like the fingercount."
Caller: "Damn straight. Alright, be there tonight."
Me: "Sweet. Laters."
Caller: "Later."
I left in the early afternoon, so never got to see the guy, and I won't be there for a few days, but that was such a great call. > <, \m/,
The moral of the story is, I don't want to be the only one not laughing during a prank call.
