Today, while working at my dead-end call centre job that couldn't get any worse, I answered a call from a customer who was having loud sex. I still needed to sound professional and tell her when a product was released. FML

Today, while at work, I had to spend an hour and a half on the phone, listening to an old lady relive her entire day in excruciating detail. We're not allowed to hang up on customers, and she was extremely quick to dismiss all my attempts to steer the call back on topic. FML

Today, while working at my call center, I took a phone call. The guy on the other line just yelled "FUCK YOU!" twice at the top of his lungs before hanging up on me. But of course, the phone agent is always at fault. FML

Today, while I was working customer support, a lady hung up on me mid-sentence, and I trailed off, saying, "…aaannnddd you hung up on me like a bitch." Turned out she was still on the line and had just accidentally hit mute. FML

Today, while at work as a telemarketer, I called a customer on his home phone. Once I was connected, an automated voice said, "To speak with a customer, please press 1." Confused, I pressed one. I then heard loud laughter followed by, "Oh my god! What a dumbass!" before they hung up. FML

Today, while at work, a customer refused to speak louder, despite me asking her to do it several times. As a result, I took her order incorrectly. The customer then finally decided to raise her voice, but only to yell at me about my poor listening skills. FML

Today, I answered a call at work from a very irate gentleman. After being shouted and sworn at profusely, I ended the call in a slightly less than civil manner. Turns out that guy is one of our company's biggest clients. FML

Today, I had to call a customer. I usually try to avoid calling customers because I have a very prominent speech impediment. Well, it turns out the customer I called also has a speech impediment and thought I was mocking her. She hung up on me and filed a formal complaint with my company. FML

Today, at work, I was calling customers to tell them that they had prescriptions waiting to be picked up. It was a long list and every time I reached an answering machine I left our number so they could call us back. When I was finished, the pharmacist told me I been giving out our fax number. FML

Classic blunder

Today, I had a phone call from a company I was applying to. It was going really well, until the call ended. Now since I'm so used to calling my girlfriend, I ended the call with, "Love you, bye." And if things couldn't get any worse, I started swearing to myself. The recruitment officer heard me. I forgot to hang up. FML

A friend of mine had one experience,A drunk guy called and asked how to send tacos to the other guy over Bluetooth, He too needed to be professional told him those options are not available in our services And the guy replied he is not happy with your customer service.

I think she’s going to know when the “product” is released. Hint: it’s a few seconds before he asks her to make him a sammich.

At least it was a balanced conversation; you both found out when something was coming.

In dead-end jobs these are the things we live for. They sometimes make you smile, and some times gross you out, but in the end it's what makes the day go by faster, and thats all that matters.

Sounds like a butt dial... or some appendage/body part dial.

Yeah, but calling a random number during sex? It's one thing to hit the speed dial for a friend or family member, but some call center? I guess OP couldn't say, "I think you have the wrong number" and hung up.

I've worked in 5 call centers and have gotten some quite interesting calls. There's one in particular that stands out in my memory, and it was when I was working in a reservations center for a hotel chain. This Irish guy called and got through to me once, and he asks me, "If I got myself in the balls with a wooden spoon, would you listen to me scream?" I didnt find out till later that apparently he calls all the time and asks the same question, and he's famous in our call center.
