Bad Pickup Lines Revisited
(I am on the phone with a customer who is asking about underwear. Keep in mind that I am female.)
Me: “Hello, this is [My Name]. How may I help you?”
Male Customer: “Yes, I’m looking for pink underwear.”
Me: “Okay, are you looking for men or women?”
Male Customer: “Women.”
Me: “All right, we have many types of pink underwear. Do you know what kind you are looking for?”
Male Customer: “No, what kinds do you have?”
(I proceed to list off the types of ladies’ underwear that come in pink.)
Male Customer: “Um, okay. What kind of underwear are you wearing?”
Me: “Is that really necessary?”
Male Customer: “Yes.”
Me: “No, it’s not.” *click*
