[personal profile] settiai works in customer service.

The following conversation took place a couple of days ago, and I still don't know how I managed to keep a straight face. Please keep in mind that the customer was 88-years-old. I know this because she told me. Multiple times.

Settiai: And do you have the offer code?
Little Old Lady: Offer code? What's that?
Settiai: It would be printed on the order form, above your name.
Little Old Lady: One moment. [Long pause.] Oh, I found it!
Settiai: [waits]
Little Old Lady: [silence]
Settiai: Ma'am, may I have the code please?
Little Old Lady: Oh, of course, sweetie. It's F as in "fuck." D as in "dick." A as in "ass." [pause] All of which I enjoy greatly.

Sometimes? This job definitely has its moments.

Little old ladies were frequently my favourite part of customer service. For reasons just like this.

Ahahaha! Yes, the little old ladies are the best. Except when they are the worst.

That is awesome. I have had my share of phone conversations with little old ladies, but none quite as great as that.
