Another day in my life...
At work the other day this guys called in wanting to order the Summerslam wrestling event. He told me his son is in town from Vermont and was really wanting to order it. He said that he called the automated phone system and it said he has a past due balence of $108.15, and a total of $334.24. I told him that that was correct. He then told me that he was "aware of the past due amount, but how did I get a $330 total?" So I looked at the account and saw that there were some PPVs ordered, so I told the cust. He then asked me "what type of pay per views?" I paused for a second and said "Adult programming." He then asked "What type of adult programming was ordered?" I again paused for a minute because I don't like the idea, and said "Some were channel 190 and the others look pretty random." the cust then asked me "What type of programming were the movies?" Now I was avoiding this from the start because I didn't want to say anything, but I had to, so I told him "Gay Programming"
Then...
The guy almost broke down, I mean bad. He wasn't 'crying' but you can kinda hear the tears in his soul and he said, "I knew my son was gay... he was never good at any sports... he didn't bring home a lot of girls..." etc etc. I kinda was laughing to myself at the beginning but then I really just felt bad for the guy and wanted to say "Just embrace him man, its not like its a goat or something." but we all know I couldn't say that.
Anyways...
If anyone knows me my fave movie is "Pirates of the Caribbean" and if they know me more they know my fave genre of movies are Horror and that I absolutely LOVE Zombie flicks. Thats just the back ground information for the next story.
I was at McDonalds with some chick eating. And walking around the corner a woman exits the bathroom, walks by me and says "You kinda sound like a Zombie." talking to her son who was also coming out of the mens restroom, going "Aeerrrrgghhh" like the Zombie noise. I head this, my ears perk up and I also go "Errrrrggghhhhh!" just to find out when the kid walks around the corner he is literally 'retarded" or mentaly challenged which ever you perfer, with bent upwards and wrist bent down and his head cocked back. And I don't mean like he was trying to be a Zombie, you just could tell.
I also felt pretty bad, but when they left the girl and I got to have a nice laugh at my expense :)
Blah.
I've been training all week (Since Monday) and Friday is my first day back on the phones. I really don't want to do it, but guess what? I have to. Anyways I'm leaving it at that and I'll catch up shortly enough.
