Headache, you're not alone in your stalking by stupid people. I regularly answer the phone here "Good morning/afternoon, Nationwide Insurance, Ron Phelps' office" - I get at least 3 callers a day who immediately ask "Is this Ron Phelps' office?" No, you feckin' moron, this is Joe Schmoe's office - I just say Ron Phelps for shits & giggles!!! :madspit:

Sad thing is, I'm not the receptionist, which means I'm not answering the bulk of the calls.... I'd be willing to guess that out of 100 calls in a day at least 10 people do the same thing. :huh:
 
I like when I say thank you for calling sears when i answer the phone and then they ask if this is sears :|, not to mention to the fact that they had to listen to a recording before they could even get to me :| :|. My store was also open on easter but the mall was closed, so we had the doors to the mall closed and there's no one walking around in there but I still had a ton of people ask me if the mall was open.

One of my jobs is as a receptionist for a construction equipment company. This one guy called for our parts department, and he said, all frantic, "Katherine...I need your parts!"

Man, if I had a nickel for every time I heard that...:sexywink:
 
You'd think if you called a Pizza restaurant, they would answer with the name of the business...my former phone number was one number off the local pizzeria...I swear...I took 10 calls a month,,,,I started taking orders and quoting prices...

oh, I also accepted the competitors coupons!!!

Idiots!!! :crazy:

Yeah... very true.

I worked at a petrol station a few years ago, and guess who got stuck with the Christmas morning shift, working 6am until 1pm? Correct. :angry::madspit:

Some idiot phoned and said "I've seen the forecourt lights on - are you open?"

I couldn't resist it. I told him that no, we weren't open, and that I was a burglar who had just put the brightest lights in the town centre on to highlight my criminal activities.

Scarily - 8 years later, I'm a Store Manager (although not with the same company). :huh:

:lmao: I misread that, initially, as PANTS department, which made it all so much words.
 
No, I was laughing at Lu and Marie but you posted just before me and it looked like I was laughing at you. That's longwinded. :D I did like your story though, I read it after I edited. :)
