A customer called because their computer was making a strange beeping noise. The customer service person asked a series of questions to diagnose the problem. It turned out the customer had a pet parrot that liked to sit on top of the computer and peck at the keys. The beeping was the parrot hitting some function keys accidentally.
I heard of a customer who thought the computer's CD drive was a cup holder. They tried to put a coffee cup in it and then called customer service when it got stuck. The rep had a hard time believing it at first.
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.
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.
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.
