Another lame line...

[Nurian]

I worked at a call center that was open 24 hours. As part of the closing, we had to mention this fact. Invariably, one of the jokers on my line would reply,
"Really? When do you sleep? Hur hur hur *snerk!"
...yes, truly side-splitting art thou.

It's bad enough when they treat us like crap, but to think we have nothing else to do in our lives?

Two potential answers to these blooming comedians:

1) The "acceptable" one: "Well, we must be on the same schedule, if you're calling at 2AM!"

2) What we'd like to say: "After your mom is finished topping me off."

[extreme sarcasm] I wish to speak to the manufacturer, this retail/customer service bot appears to have gained sentience and a free will...yes I'l hold. [/ extreme sarcasm]

"snore... I'm sorry sir, what was that?"

[Skeksin]

The monkey shocks me if I'm not working....

[Mnemjian]

That's pretty lame Nothing saps your appreciation of really horribly bad jokes like working a job where you hear the same ones over and over again. Whenever somebody uses the old "it's not priced so it's free right? hardyharhar!" I want to ask them if they have a trust fund or if they are maybe just wards of the state because they have obviously never had to work retail.

Oh, I shock the hell out of guests who ask "when do you sleep"
I tell them the truth, I go to sleep at about 1pm and wake up around 9pm, which leaves me an hour and a half to get ready for work before having to head into work.

It's great because they never expect a serious answer... either that or they expected a serious answer but can't wrap their minds around the idea that not everyone works 8-5 and sleeps 10-6...

"Red Bull is our company sponsor. Do the math."

or

"Sleep is more what you'd call a 'guideline' than an actual rule."

I chalk it up to people trying to make small talk and failing miserably.

Oh yes, sleep, I remember that... No, can't say as I have recently - I'll report it if it happens though...

Just tell them that you're a Cylon, and that you don't need sleep, that's just for the fragile humans.

[Nurian]

I'd tell them I'm, the first Cylon. The one that ran with Michael Knight. But I don't think they'd get it.

[smileyeagle1021]

Oh, I am so using the Cylon line now

[Gravekeeper]

I give them the serious answer. It throws them for a loop. 9 times out of 10 they seem to think I have a normal sleep cycle but for some reason tonight I'm just up really late by the phone.

So is Parlay...

I do though. Brav-o!

You do know that part really was scavenged from a cylon from the origional BG series, right? I read that in an interview somewhere.
