Indecent Disbursal
(I am a supervisor for a cell phone support center. I am plugging into my representative’s desk to grade one of their calls when I hear the following exchange.)
Customer: “So, put me on that plan then.”
Rep: “All right. I just need to go over some legal info with you.”
Customer: “Are you going to procreate me?”
Rep: “…excuse me?”
Customer: “You know, procreate me and I get some money back.”
(The rep is clearly confused, so I chime in.)
Me: “I think she means ‘prorate.'”
Rep: “Oh! Did you mean ‘prorate?'”
Customer: “Yeah! Procreate and get money back!”
Rep: “Yes. We can…prorate…your account.”
