I just heard my fellow coworker say to a customer:

"Now that we have that resolved, let me finish what I was doing with your wife." - I dunno about you, but I took this COMPLETELY out of context.

If he'd said "what I was doing to your wife" that woulda ruled.

I'd have done the same ;-)

Doing much of the same tech support over the years sometimes we had to work with customers at distance and couldnt be there to help with hardware. I can remember some customers being somewhat savy and they had requested that they be "walked through" replacement of a new drive. Line such as:

"...Let me asvise you tighten down that slave a bit more so it doesnt move any more it it's cage..."

were commonplace. Always made me laugh once a fellow coworker broke out in hysterical laughter in the next cube.

So did you ever have a customer hear the laughter and ask what it was about?

Oh sure, and sometimes, its just proper to say 'It just came out and sounded funny."

When talking to a user about a patch/upgrade done on-site, they'd ask me, " Did you work on anyone in Finance?" and I'd reply: "Yes, I did Lisa this morning and I'll tell ya, hers was a stubborn one."

I heard laughing on their end that time. ;)
