Tumblr Funny Customer Service Stories: Share Your Experiences

One of the best customer service stories I've heard was about a hotel. A guest had left their laptop charger at home. When they asked the front desk if there was any way to get one, the staff not only found a charger that fit their laptop but also had it delivered to their room within 10 minutes. It was such a small gesture but made the guest's stay so much more convenient.

A friend of mine had a Tumblr - related customer service encounter. The support person answered his query in a very comical way. They sent him a series of GIFs that were related to his problem. It was so unexpected and funny. He was looking for help with a blog feature and instead of just typing out instructions, they used these really funny and relevant GIFs.

A customer in a clothing store asked the salesperson if the clothes were made for 'aliens' because the designs were so unique. The salesperson took it in good humor and started joking about intergalactic fashion trends. They ended up having a great conversation and the customer bought several items. It was really funny how a strange comment led to a positive shopping experience.

There was a hotel where a guest asked for extra pillows at midnight. The sleepy - eyed staff member not only got the pillows but also added a little note saying 'Sweet dreams! We hope these pillows make you float on cloud nine.' It was such a simple yet funny and sweet gesture that the guest remembered it for a long time.

I called a clothing brand's customer service because I received a damaged item. The person on the phone took my details and promised to send a replacement. But weeks passed, and I heard nothing. When I called again, they said there was no record of my previous call. It made me so angry as I wasted a lot of time waiting.

Best: I once went to a small coffee shop. The barista was extremely friendly. She remembered my regular order and even drew a little heart on my cup. It made my day. Worst: I had an issue with my phone service provider. I called customer service and was put on hold for over an hour, then transferred three times, and finally the person I talked to was rude and didn't solve my problem.

I once had a problem with my phone bill. I called the customer service. The agent put me on hold for almost an hour, and when they finally came back, they transferred me to the wrong department. It took another 30 minutes to get to the right person. And that person was rude and didn't really solve my problem.

Sure. Once, a customer called because his computer screen was all blue. After a long check, the technician found out he had put a blue post - it note over the webcam thinking it was a light sensor and it was reflecting on the screen.

Once, a customer called the call center asking if we could teach his parrot to talk. He thought since we could solve so many problems, this should be easy for us. Another time, a customer called because she thought her microwave was haunted as it made strange noises even when not in use. She asked the customer service agent if there was a 'ghost - buster' service we could recommend.

Sure. There was a customer who called a pizza place. He asked if they could make a pizza in the shape of a heart for his girlfriend. The customer service rep said they'd try. When the pizza arrived, it was a normal round pizza with a heart drawn on the box in ketchup. The customer laughed and said it was the most 'creative' heart - shaped pizza ever.
