Me: “Thank you for calling [bank], how may I help you?”

Customer: “Yeah, I just got my statement in the mail and it says at the bottom to call this number for questions?”

Me: “Yes, that’s right.”

(A long pause follows.)

Customer: “OK, so…what are the questions?”

Customer: “I’d like to order ten virgins, please.”

Me: “Pardon me?”

Customer: “Ten virgins, please–”

(There’s a moment of silence; the customer and I both realize at the same time that he meant to say ‘ten Virgin Holiday Brochures’. To keep the conversation from going awkward, I chime in.)

Me: “How fresh would you like your virgins, sir?”

Customer: “This year’s editions will be fine, thanks!”



Not Always Right | Funny & Stupid Customer Quotes

Working at AT&T I get stupid customers all the time. Just a couple days ago, we had one that wouldn't leave the store unless something was done about the Microwaves that all of our cell towers and cell phones make. She says she was going to go Erin Brokovitch on us

best question i got from a customer when i was working part time in high school

Customer: whats in a strawberry banana shake?

Me: *stare* uh strawberries and bananas

It hurts to know that there are people this stupid.

I feel the need to share this one. A few years ago I worked at a sports store. I asked a customer for his zip code and his direct quote was, I live on a farm do they have zip codes? Now I have always given this man the benefit of the doubt and believe he was messing with me, to which I give him credit. But if he wasn't :shakes head:

I've met people from farms. He may not have been kidding.

Got one for you....

Every Friday here on Parris Island (Marine Base) I have to go out and set up 200 f-c-ing chairs for all these little recruits family members so they can watch the flag raising. 150 of these chairs don't have arms on them and the other 50 do. First off, why do I have to set up 200 chairs for a ceremoney that requires you to be standing anyway?!? Ok, moving on, every Friday, the chairs with arms are reserved for VIPs and what not. The others are for the general public. I have to go out there and constantly tell people to get out of the VIP chairs.

1. If you saw 200 chairs sitting there and 50 of them were completely different and set off on the side, would you think that was a good place to sit or would you notice the difference and not sit there?

2. If you just saw me tell people not to sit there, would you A. stay sitting in your seats or B. go over and sit in those seats? I think NOT

It's small but damn it pisses me off!!

i act just like that when a telemarketer calls......

1. I'd think it was a good place to sit and go there. I love chair arms.

2. B

same

1. I'd think it was a good place to sit and go there. I love chair arms.

2. B

yea, im 3rd on that...i hate not having arms on chairs

there's 50....has to be some extras there

I was working at best buy and a customer called asking about a tv stand. She wanted to know if we had one that was roughly 9 inches off the ground. I told her everything we had would be well over a foot tall. She replys "Oh... how many inches are in a foot?"


....I paused and said "excuse me" and she asked it AGAIN!?!?!

I answered the question and she goes "Oh, no thats too tall, bye!"

I thought it was a joke but it wasn't...

I got one.
