During Thanksgiving, my dad called me while he was trying to carve the turkey. He was so focused on talking to me that he accidentally cut the wrong part. He then told me all about it in a very comical way, like it was the turkey's fault for being too slippery. This made for a great holiday phone call story.
One holiday, I called my sister. She was in the middle of baking cookies and got distracted. She started talking to me as if I was the recipe book, asking me things like 'How much flour again?' It was really funny. I had to remind her that I was her sister, not a cookbook.
I received a call on Easter from my cousin. She was out on an Easter egg hunt with her kids. She was so excited that she started describing every single egg she found in great detail, as if they were the most precious treasures. Her enthusiasm and the way she was talking made it a really funny call.
On Christmas, I got a call from my grandma. But her cat stepped on the phone and somehow managed to put the call on speaker. So we all heard grandma's shocked voice as she chased the cat around, trying to turn the speaker off. It was a really funny moment.
Well, there was a story where a customer called in a panic because she thought her printer was possessed. She said it was making strange noises and printing out random symbols. The call center agent managed to calm her down and found out that her toddler had stuffed some toys into the printer. It was quite a sight when she finally retrieved the toys and the printer worked fine again. This was really a memorable and funny call center encounter.
One time, a customer called to complain that the product he bought was too small. But when the agent asked for details, it turned out he was using it completely wrong. For example, he was trying to wear a coffee mug as a hat. The agent couldn't stop laughing after the call. It was such a strange and funny situation.
One memorable story is when a guy's phone got run over by a car. The screen was shattered but somehow still worked. However, the icons were all mixed up. The phone app was in the middle of the games folder. He spent ages trying to find it every time he wanted to call someone.
A memorable one was when the word was 'zombie'. The drawing started as a proper spooky zombie. But the description got really muddled. It ended up as 'a greenish - blue person walking funny'. The final drawing was more like a drunk alien than a zombie. It made everyone laugh hard.
One of the most talked - about stories is that of an agent who was so sleepy during a night shift. When a customer called, he started answering in a very dreamy voice. The customer asked if he was okay and the agent said 'Yes ma'am, I'm just in a call center paradise'. This made the customer laugh and she ended up chatting with the agent for a while instead of just getting her query resolved.
One Easter, we organized an egg hunt in the garden. We hid all the eggs carefully. But then our neighbor's dog got loose and ran into our garden. It found all the eggs and ate most of them before we could stop it. The kids were shocked at first but then they couldn't stop giggling at the naughty dog.
A memorable one might be a holiday where someone followed a Gawker - promoted travel deal. They ended up at a hotel that was in a really bad neighborhood. The rooms were dirty, the service was terrible, and there were strange noises all night. It completely ruined their holiday getaway. They couldn't relax at all and were constantly worried about their safety.
Well, the trend of DIY haircuts in 2020 was quite funny. A lot of people attempted to cut their own hair when salons were closed. Some ended up with really strange and uneven hairstyles that they had to live with for a while. It was funny to see their before - and - after pictures on social media.
A really funny 911 call story is about a guy who called because he thought his microwave was trying to communicate with him. It made some beeping sounds that he misinterpreted. Also, there was a person who called 911 because they saw a 'ghost' in their attic. It was just an old sheet that had blown up there. It was quite comical when the operator had to explain that to them.
