Would they really say that?

My friend just emailed me this... made me smile!  I suspect it's doing the rounds with everyone but thought I'd share it anyway!  [:$]

 

Customer:     'I've been ringing 0800 2100 for two days and can't get through to enquiries, can you help?'.
Operator:     'Where did you get that number from, sir?'.
Customer:     'It was on the door to the Travel Centre'.
Operator:     'Sir, they are our opening hours'.

Samsung Electronics

Caller:          'Can you give me the telephone number for Jack?'
Operator:     'I'm sorry, sir, I don't understand who you are talking about'.
Caller:          'On page 1, section 5, of the user guide it clearly states that I need to unplug the fax machine from the AC  wall socket and telephone Jack before cleaning. Now, can you give me the number for Jack?'
Operator:      'I think you mean the telephone point on the wall'.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

RAC Motoring Services

Caller:          'Does your European Breakdown Policy cover me when I am travelling in Australia ?'

Operator:      ' Doesn't the product name give you a clue?'

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Caller (enquiring about legal requirements while travelling in France ):
'If I register my car in France , do I have to change the steering wheel to the other side of the car?'

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Directory Enquiries

Caller:               'I'd like the number of the Argoed Fish Bar in Cardiff please'.
Operator:          'I'm sorry, there's no listing. Is the spelling correct?'
Caller:               'Well, it used to be called the Bargoed Fish Bar but the 'B' fell off'.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Then there was the caller who asked for a knitwear company in Woven.
Operator:        'Woven? Are you sure?'
Caller:             'Yes. That's what it says on the label; Woven in Scotland
'.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

On another occasion, a man making heavy breathing sounds from a phone box told a worried operator:

'I haven't got a pen, so I'm steaming up the window to write the number on'.

Very amusing Rose[:D]

Possessing a liking for simple juvenile humour I find spoof phone-calls quite amusing.  On You-Tube there was one made to a pizza take-away place which went:-

Caller:   Do you do take-away?

Back came a very bored:   Yes.

Caller:  What's ten take away two?

True story:

A friend was working as customer support for a software package, a client rang to say that they had looked at all the keys on their qwerty keyboard but just could not find the "any" key.

After much discussion the customer quoted from the operating instructions "it says - after XYZ hit any key"[:)]

A true story, told me by a storeman there.

An Irish chap called into the local Ford Distributers stores and asked for "A new handbrake cable please sorh."

"Which model?" says storeman.

"Dat one!" says Irishman, pointing outside. And then...........

"Der Bed-Ford van sorh!"

Just received this one from a Friends in Cyprus, from their friends in Australia:

Caller calling Australia:

GOOD MORNING, WELCOME TO AUSTRALIA

Press 1 if you can speak English, press 2 to disconnect until you can -

only the Australians can come up with that one!

He also sent me the pics and the story about the lady with the hissing computer  that suddenly wnet dead. When the engineer opened it up there was literally a snake inside! I  have pics to prove (Australia again).
