Stupid questions of the day.

[zinnith]

As you might know, I work as a telephone muppet. Enjoy a few highlights from my day at work!


Me: Hello, welcome to (recruitment company) how may I help you?
Customer: So...I was looking at this job ad on your homepage.
Me: Yes?
Customer: Well... It's written in English. Does that mean I have to know English to apply for the job?
Me: That would be the logical conclusion, yes....


Me: Hello, welcome to (fancy ski resort).
Customer: Hi! I just have a question, it says on your homepage that you're officially closed next weekend. What does that mean?
Me: If it says we're closed then it means that we're closed.
Customer: Oh. Okay. Just checking.


If it's one thing I've learned from this job, it's that people are STUPID.

These cracked me up. I was reminded of some of the crazy things clients say to me sometimes.

Client: If my dawg has mice, why can't I see 'em?

Me: Not m-i-c-e. M-i-t-es. Mites. Your dog has ear mites.

Client: My dog *can't* have been bitten by a snake--we have invisible fencing!!

Me: Did you remember to put a collar on the snake? Because it's not a force field, you know.

You have to love working in service :) Just imagine how boring life would be without all the loons and their stupid questions!
