Master Fob: New New Job, this is Master Fob, how may I help you?
Old Lady: Firstname Lastname, that's L as in Long, A as in Artichoke, S as in Susan, T as in Toronto, N as in Nancy, A as in Aardvark, M as in Martin, E as in Earring.
MF: And what can I do for you?
OL: Connect me to that person, please.
MF: I'm sorry, does that person work for New New Job? Perhaps in the warehouse?
OL: What? No. Just connect me to her.
MF: Ma'am, do you know that you've called a retail store?
OL: What retail store?
MF: New New Job retail store, in Seattle.
OL: Well, I want you to turn off this connection and connect me to Firstname Lastname.
MF: I'm sorry, I don't know that person.
OL: Don't you have a directory of all the people with telephones numbers in Seattle?
MF: No, I'm sorry, I don't. Perhaps you should call information?
OL: Oh, okay, thank you.
Ha! Grand.
ReplyDeleteSide note: When this transcript began, I thought it would be like a Dr. Seuss conversation, what with the "New New Job, this is Master Fob . . ."
To piggyback on DesMama . . .
ReplyDeleteOr a Lemony Snicket book, particularly The End.
BWAH hahahaha!!! That's awesome!
ReplyDeleteThat person has called me at home!!!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I find it scarey when the word verification tries to carry on a conversation with me. Stop it!!!
