Night Of The Living Dumbasses - Phone Phrolics

[Lala]

At least once a day this happens:

SC dials the store. Listens to menu say "press 3 for deli". SC presses 3. Phone rings in deli and the following conversation happens.

Me: Hello, <store name> Deli, this is Lala. How can I help you?
SC: Is this the deli?
Me: facepalm

[Megg]

So the PA system announces "There is a call for Meat and Seafood on line ###.
I answer the phone and say my spiel. Then this little old lady asks me for the phone number for Fifth Third Bank.

The most absolutely awesome part of this is that in her little strange mind, somehow meat & seafood = bank.

Sure it wasn't the Third Fifth Drank?

This reminds me of the calls we used to get at our house when we lived in Texas.

It wasn't wrong numbers so much as the previous homeowner was a GODDAMN DEADBEAT and would still use our address and phone number to try to deter creditors and the like.

I'd very much like to find out who that bumhug is so I can put them on every mailing list, calling list, and spam list I can think of, and divert all of the crap that comes to me over to them.

Re: Wrong number.

Got some guy last week who didn't get the concept that the redial button would redial the wrong number again! Ugh. Got in to work around 11 am and almost immediately got this:


Me: Wishing he hadn't answered the phone.
SC: Idiot



:: phone rings ::
Me: [name of restaurant], this is RestaurantDude speaking. How may i help you?
SC: Can you tell me when my car will be ready?
Me: I'm sorry... your car? Sir, you've called [name of restaurant].
SC: Yeah! When will my car be ready?
Me: Sir, this is a restaurant. You've dialed the wrong number
SC: Oh. :: CLICK ::

:: phone immediately rings again ::
Me: [name of restaurant], this is RestaurantDude speaking. How may i help you?
SC: I'd like to know when my car will be ready?
Me: Sir, again, you've got [name of restaurant].
SC: :: CLICK ::

Me (UGH!!!!!!): Which car, sir?
SC: The black toyota.
Me: 2pm sir. Have a good day. :: CLICK ::

Sounds like the SC's Gravekeeper gets from the 867 area!!

We'll know it's them when they call up Calulu wanting to order pants and hats by the dozens.
