I hate this...

I'm in the dooms of reception this morning. Ugh. This just happened. Most of it is accurate... I only made up some.

ME: "Thank you for calling [our company name]."

SOME DUDE: "Hallo. This is [so-and-so]."

(Long pause.)

ME: "Umm. Okay, how can I help you?"

SD: "You yust call me!"

(Inner sigh.)

ME: "Sir? It wasn't me. It was someone in our office."

(Long pause.)

SD: "Hallo?"

ME: "Yes!"

SD: "Yes, so, somebody call me."

ME: "Apparently so."

SD: "Let me speak to."

(Long pause.)

ME: "Sir?"

SD: "Yes, let me speak to."

(Another long pause.)

ME: "Who?!"

SD: "Somebody who call me."

ME: "Okay, do you know who it was?"

(Long pause.)

ME: "Sir?"

SD: "Hallo?"

ME: "Yes, do you know who it was?"

SD: "Who?"

(Forehead smack.)

ME: "The person that called you."

SD: "Someone in the office dere, yes?"

ME: "Yes, well that narrows it down to 35."

SD: "Yes. Yes."

ME: "So, you don't know who called you, huh?"

SD: "Yes, let me speak to."

ME: "I don't know who it was, sir. Do you know?"

SD: "I pickle."

(Long pause.)

SD: "You know?"

ME: "I'm sorry?"

SD: "I pickle they."

ME: "Sir, I can't help you."

SD: "Hallo?"

ME: "I'm not sure who called you. You're not sure who called you. There's nothing we can do for each other. And just for the record, 'let me speak to' is not a complete statement."

SD: "Ohhhhh. Is this uhhhhhhhh... uhhhhhhh... a lawyer?"

ME: "No, sir."

SD: "Ohhhhh. Okay, tank you."
