Unfiltered Story #247952

I work at a call center that handles basic ordering and answering questions regarding our products which are available online and via phone. A repeat customer who has purchased many of our products for himself, his family, and his employees calls in and wants to place an order since we have a sale ongoing. The transaction is very pleasant as he loves our products and service, and we even joke that since his last name is the same as the city I’m located in, he should get a percentage of sales. It’s one of my easier calls of the day and all is well until the end of the order, when out of nowhere he says:

“Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?”

I pause and reply with some trepidation: “If it’s a good one…?”

Customer: “Alright, alright. What’s a turtle and a blonde got in common? …if you get either on their back, they’re screwed!”

I wasn’t expecting that and managed a weak “ha…” which he noticed and said “Aw come on, that was a good one!”

He then told another, slightly-less-worse-but-still-awful blonde joke that I don’t even remember anymore and then wished me a good day. There’s a time and a place for everything, people!
