Public Address systems and the fun they cause.

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

There's been a couple of s-bombs dropped over our PA that I know of.

Another time, one of the girls at the service desk said "ATTENTION!" over the PA, in a very official tone of voice, like she was going to announce something important. Then....nothing. She just hung up.

I still give her crap about it whenever I see her, but she was a good sport over it.

Ha ha. We have fun with the PA at work.

The best one I have heard is off a Purser: "We hope you have enjoyed the ride as much as we enjoyed taking you for one"

Reading through some of the posts, I found one about the PA systems. This reminded me of something I remember hearing at a wal-mart store, and something I did. So I thought i'd pass this on. These are all unintentional incidents.

1.) Manager (or someone along that lines) gets on the PA system at wal-mart. Apparently he thought he'd hit the number to dial out, but had actually hit the announcement button. So, we're all blessed with the sounds of him dialing (beep beep boop boop) and then whistling before saying quote "Why won't the (bleeping) phone ring? Did someone bleeping forget to pay the blanking bill? What do you mean I'm on the...OH BLEEP!" Click.

2.) My personal one was a bit more simple. When I first started at Lowe's, I had to page for assistance at my register. I remember picking up the phone, opening my mouth to say something, only to rip out this loud belch. Turning beet red, I quickly hung up. Everyone was looking around like was that, while the store manager who happened to be standing near me at the time was laughing so hard he had tears in his eyes.


Anyone else have similar happen?
