Can't... resist... MUST SNARK
Feb. 12th, 2012 03:55 amThe following work story has been Piranhacized.
So, in my job at the PIRANHA STORE, we occasionally get automated calls regarding PIRANHA ORDERS. These typically include some information that we need to note down and then finish by saying to press 5 to report that you have all the information.
Trainee: I just got the weirdest call.
Me: Really? What happened?
Trainee: It was like a recorded message. Something about an order? And then it said press 5, so I did. And it hung up.
Me: Um did you hear what it said about the order? Or take a message?
Trainee: No I didn't understand any of it, but then it said press 5 so I did!
(at this point the trainee is visibly waiting to be patted on the head for Doing The Right Thing.)
Me: Good, good show. Next time let's take down the info, okay?
Trainee: Sure! And then press 5!
(I slink into the back to try to re-create what the recording was about, and find a nice quiet place to pound my head.)
