Customer: The Internet is slow today.

Me: Yeah, lots of people looking at porn and syncing their MP3 libraries today.

Customer: Oh.

Me: Thanks for calling XXX how may I help you?
Her: I was just calling to see if you guys are open today?
Me: [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] Yes we are... (Thinking to myself: No, I am just here to let you know we are closed)
Her: Oh okay, thank you just making sure.

I just need to rail on you a little bit for this. How else should they find out? When you pick up should they just hang up on you?

Well when we have signs up all over the bank and when you call the 800# its says we are only closed Thanksgiving Thursday and you get approx. 10-15 calls (maybe more because those are the ones I answered) that day it was very frustrating.

Unfortunately your average bank patron doesn't notice/recall bank signs. Or perhaps this person hasn't stopped by the bank or called the 800# recently.

My sister is a manager at the electric company and I have to share this one with you.

BTW... if you didn't know, LA had some record heat days this last summer.

Conversation from August 06'

Customer: I need a supervisor

My Sis (supervisor for Socal Edison): How can I help you mam

Customer: I'm going out of town and I don't want to pay for my air-conditionar bill since I won't be here to enjoy the cool house.

My sis: Mam, why don't you just turn off the air while on vacation

customer: It's so hot out, I'm worried my house will catch on fire if I leave the air off when we are gone.


NO JOKE... real call from the owner of a $1.20 million dollar house in the south bay.

Excellent Ref Tenny! I walked in to work yesterday, saw a nickel on the ground and immediately thought "I don't feel the need to explain my art to you, Warren."

Ok my conversation for today, starting right past NDA type stuff:


Network Security Guy: So I told them we wouldn't sell the product.
Me: Yeah, it's not part of our business model.
NSG: Wonder if this still works, I washed it last night (holds up Smart Card for secure login)
Me: It should be fine.
NSG: I used cold water.
Me: Doubt it that matters.
NSG: Yeah, its not like it holds electricty really. I also washed my money.
Me: That probably doesn't work any more. You should give that to me.
NSG: *laughs* I did money laundering last night.
Guy in Office next to me, who heard all of this: We should offer money laundering. It *does* fit our business model.

Just curious what your work is that you use handles like Mouseman while fielding customer calls?

The phone thing is completely legit from the customer's standpoint. They have no reason to believe that there isn't some customer service line open 24/7 that has no bearing on whether or not a branch is open.

@slow internet/porn guy
I sometimes screw with the computer salespeople at various places if they decide to harass me, asking which one is best to download porn on, and if there's a USB dongle that I can put my dick into.
