Please Be A Prank, Please Be A Prank…, Part 4

Bizarre, Call Center, Retail, USA | Right | December 20, 2023

I am calling customers in our database asking if they’d like to take a survey. They get $5 store credit for taking the survey, so it hasn’t been too bad. I connect to another customer. It seems they were just on a call with someone else.

Me: “Hi, this is [My Name] calling from—”

Customer: “Stop calling me! Look. I already told you: the cat decided it would be best, and I’m sorry about what happened to the car, but if you think about it, everything turned out okay; if it had landed closer to the trunk, it would have taken out the whole street, and Mr. Custard wouldn’t have been pleased. Best lose this number.” *Click*

Me: “Wait… I… Is the cat okay?”

I got my manager to listen to the call to make sure I wasn’t going crazy. I wasn’t. We both have so many questions.
