Best. Call. Ever.

[ladynisa.livejournal.com]

I over heard my coworker just now. He had a call from a woman who's upset that her SED wouldn't process for her international shipment. He did some digging, and discovered this:

1) She was trying to ship bullets.
2) She was trying to ship bullets to Saudi Arabia (a customs no-no unless you're in the military, which she's not).
3) She was trying to ship bullets to Saudi Arabia to a man who's first name is "Jihad".

I shit you not.

And she wonders why it wouldn't go through...

having worked tech support as long as I have, such things don't surprise me anymore. You'd think she'd consider for a moment why that may not be such a great idea.

All I can say is, multiply the 1:1000000 or smaller probability that any given individual hasn't realized how bad an idea that is, by a few million people, and you get an above-certainty chance that *someone* has gone all the way to trying it. I wish I could say that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of anyone trying to do with a shipping carrier. Sadly, it isn't ..

Tell me about it.

Well, with any luck your coworker won't have to deal with her again, because she's going to get a friendly knock on the door any minute now.

I hope your next call was to DHS.

That call raises a number of "need a visit by authorities" flags.

"Ma'am - and I have always wanted to say this - please hold for the FBI."

I honestly have no words.

If you work tech support for a shipping company, you have my DEEP sympathies; I did it five years before I escaped. This...doesn't surprise me one bit.

My parents live and work in the Kingdom. As well as their stance on, you know, importing bullets, they have *very* strict policies on porn, alcohol and drugs. As one might expect. People in violation of these policies have a habit of having their arse suddenly being found on a plane before their feet can touch the ground.

My father opened an email a while ago from an English friend who shall hereafter be referred to as Duh McStupidFool, only to find a VERY family unfriendly picture inside. He had to immediately call the network admins to say "Look, I had NO idea this email was coming in" and then call the guy back to say "Are you fucking NUTS?! REMEMBER WHERE I LIVE!!"
