One time I was on Tumblr and had an issue with a product I bought through an ad on there. I contacted the customer service. The person on the other end was super funny. They started our conversation with a meme related to my problem. It immediately lightened the mood and made the whole process of getting my issue resolved so much easier.
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.
There was a story in a tech store. A customer came in complaining that his new phone's autocorrect was changing his texts into really strange things. The customer service guy said, 'Well, it seems your phone has a mind of its own. Maybe it's trying to write a novel!' The customer couldn't stop laughing. This simple humorous response made the whole situation less frustrating for the customer.
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.
In a hotel, a guest called the front desk asking for a wake - up call from a 'famous singer'. The staff managed to play a song by his favorite singer as the wake - up call. Another story is from a taxi driver whose customer tried to pay with a handful of seashells, claiming they were 'ancient currency'.
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.
At a clothing store, a customer was rude to the salesperson, saying the clothes were all 'ugly rags'. But then, as she was trying on a pair of pants in the fitting room, she got stuck and had to call for help. When the salesperson came to assist, she was still trying to act all high - and - mighty, but it was really funny to see her in that situation.
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.
