Voicemail Fail, Part 7
I work as a concierge in a popular beach resort. My job is to call people two weeks before arrival to offer assistance with their stay. Most calls are normal enough, but I have a list of interactions I call the “Why would you even answer?” list.
Guest #1: “I’m at the movie theater. I’ll give you a call later.”
Guest #2: “Sorry, I can’t talk right now; I’m driving a motorcycle.”
Guest #3: “I’m actually at my wedding reception right now. Can I call you back?”
Guest #4: *After chatting for a few minutes* “Do you mind if we finish up another time? I’m at Disney World with my family and my kid keeps pestering me to get on another ride.”
But the most baffling one of all time is this one. We were on the call for twelve minutes at this point. He was just chatting about his life, not even utilizing the service, and then he hits me with:
Guest #5: “Well, I should probably get back to work now. I’m a doctor and I was supposed to be making my rounds. I should probably check on my patients. Thanks for the call!”
Seriously, people, just let it go to voicemail!
