old tales...

I almost feel a bit deprived with all the good porn stories happening today. I mean sure, I've taken the heavy breather calls, the calls where you have the squishy noises, the calls where you're promised a steak dinner if you stop by after work (thank God we're outsourced) but then, haven't we all?

I think the best call I've had that sorta fits the theme happened not long after I started at ISP support. And it was from a little old lady (think great gramma's voice). She had called in previously to have something or other fixed that was keeping her from getting online. Turned out it was a router firewall that was doing it - so we had to refer to the router company. The rep gave her the phone number and everyone signed off all hunky dory. Except when she called back in about 10 minutes later and got me, and asked me to give her the number again. She figured she must have wrote it down wrong... cause "You just wouldn't blieve, dear, what those girls will do for 3.99 a minute!"

As a side story, on another call I took, I was asking the caller what version on windows he was using. I heard "Splash! Flush!" and took a guess on the version since the caller was a bit preoccupied. I was right! It was WinME!

As we keep swapping these stories I'm thinking today would be a lousy day for a troll or someone very misguided to walk in here. [livejournal.com profile] irishmasms might like where the thread would be going...
