(supposedly) geniune call centre calls
Apologies if repost, but I found these on another OC forum
Samsung Electronics: (To female caller) >Caller: "Can you give me the telephone number for Jack?" >Operator: "I'm sorry, I don't understand who you are talking about." >Caller: "On page 1, section 5, of the user guide it clearly states that you >need to unplug the fax machine from the AC wall socket and telephone Jack >before cleaning. Now, can you give me the number for Jack?" > > > >RAC Motoring Services: >Caller: "Does your European breakdown Policy cover me when I am travelling >in Australia?" >Operator: "Doesn't the product name give you a clue?" > > >Caller (enquiring about legal requirements while travelling in France): >"If I register my car in France, do I have to change the steering wheel to >the other side of the car?" > > >Directory Enquiries: >Caller: "I'd like the number of the Argoed Fish Bar in Cardiff, please." >Operator: "I'm sorry, there's no listing. Is the spelling correct?" >Caller: "Well, it used to be called the Bargoed Fish Bar but the 'B' >fell off." > > >Then there was the caller who asked for a knitwear company in Woven. >Operator: "Woven? Are you sure?" >Caller: "Yes. That's what it says on the label - Woven in Scotland." > > > >Caller: "I'd like the RSPCA please." >Operator: "Where are you calling from?" >Caller: "The living room." > > >On another occasion, a man making heavy breathing sounds from a phone box >told a worried operator: "I haven't got a pen, so I'm steaming up the >window to write the number on." > > >Computer Capers: >Tech Support: "I need you to right-click on the Open Desktop." >Customer: "OK" >Tech Support: "Did you get a pop-up menu?" >Customer: "No" >Tech Support: "OK. Right-click again. Do you see a pop-up menu?" >Customer: "No" >Tech Support: "OK, sir. Can you tell me what you have done up until this >point?" >Customer: "Sure. You told me to write 'click' and I wrote 'click'." > > >Caller: "I deleted a file from my PC last week and I have just realised >that I need it.
