We very regularly get wrong numbers for AMC Theaters. It gets old, but we've yet to bother changing our number.
Being me, I get tempted to mislead these folks - teach them a lesson, make them think twice and hit those digits a little more carefully.
Me: Hello?
Goofus: ...Uh, is this AMC?
Me: Oh! Yeah sorry, this is my first day. AHEM! Thank you for calling AMC, this is Bill.
Goofus: Yeah I wanted to check the times for The Ringer.
Me: The Ringer is playing at 6:30, 7:15, 8:30, and 9:20, but listen -
Goofus: Huh?
Me: (stage whisper) Whatever you do, don't eat any popcorn. Good God Man, the things they do with the popcorn. I threw up for about fifteen minutes nonstop when I first saw the inside of the Popper. And there's rats dude. Big ones.
Goofus: .......
Me: Thank you for calling AMC, goodbye!

ReplyDeleteI get freakishly skitterly this time of year. Please excuse me.
if you knew my voice & personality, eh, might be funny--otherwise, no one knows i am trying to sound like suzy wad on the big wazoo . . .
Lol, good one.
ReplyDeleteIf someone calls my house asking for someone who doesn't live here...I like to pretend to be the person they're calling for.
My record is 6 minutes before they worked it out.
Unfortunately, over here, the English accent gives it away...sigh.
If the other guy is Goofus, does that make you Gallant?
