The Pranks Are Heating Up
(My sister is a pharmacist. This happens to her boss while on duty. The phone rings at the beginning of the afternoon.)
Boss: “[Pharmacy], how may I help you?”
Child: “Do you have any thermometers?”
Boss: “Yes, we do sell some.”
Child: “WELL, YOU CAN STICK THEM UP YOUR A**! *hangs up*
(Her boss laughs at the prank call and tells her, and thinks nothing of it. Two hours later, the phone rings, and he’s the one answering it again.)
Boss: “[Pharmacy], how may I help you?”
Caller: “Oh, hello. So you’re a pharmacy?”
Boss: “Yes, we are [Pharmacy] from [Place]. How may I help you?”
Caller: “Well, sorry to disturb you. I just went back home from work and forgot my cellphone at home. I just noticed my son used it to call this number, and I thought I called back to know who you were.”
Boss: “No problem, sir.”
Caller: “I apologize for the inconvenience, I will teach my son a lesson he will not forget.”
Boss: “Oh, no, no, no ! No need for it!”
Caller: “Why? He used my phone and bothered you while you were busy!”
Boss: “No, we just opened. We had no customers yet, and it wasn’t a problem at all. It was a short call. Nothing happened!”
Caller: *angrily* “What did he tell you?”
Boss: “Oh, it was just a small prank call.”
Caller: “OH, MY GOD, THAT LITTLE S***! And I just offered to buy him a video game! I’ll take it back; he doesn’t deserve it.”
Boss: “No, wait, no! I told you, don’t worry. It was nothing!”
Caller: “Yes, it was! I must teach him some people are working and that he f***ing needs to grow up!”
Boss: “But it was just a fun joke, you know? Nothing to worry about.”
Caller: “What did he tell you?”
Boss: “Well, er… He only asked if we had thermometers…”
Caller: “And…?”
Boss: “And… well… he said I could stick them up my a**.”
Caller: “WELL, I THINK IT’S ABOUT TIME YOU PULL THEM OUT NOW!” *hangs up*
(Her boss burst into laughter and told the whole staff about it. Whoever this was, it put them in a good mood for the rest of the day!)
