Today, a guy called customer support, claiming his internet wasn't working. I asked for his customer details, and he gave his name as Mike Hunt. I recognized the old joke, called him an idiot, and hung up on him. It turned out that was his real name. I'm now on suspension. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while working in a customer service call center, a customer berated me for using a fake name. He said my name is "too stupid" to be real and that no sane person would ever use it. It was my real name. FML
Today, while I was working at a call center, a customer was pranking me using an obviously fake Asian accent. He kept saying his name was “Phuck Mi”, his phone number was 666-3629 (as in "Sex sex sex free sex tonight") and making moaning noises and sexual phrases. I don’t get paid enough for this. 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, my boss was angry at me because I had filed a complaint about him refusing to change our phone service to something more reliable. Later, a customer called him and said I had hung up on him. I got fired. I didn't hang up on the customer, the phone service just dropped the call. FML
Today, after being unemployed for over four months, I got a call from a company I've wanted to work for for over 2 years. After they were about to set up an interview, they called me by a different name. After correcting them, they hung up on me. Turns out they had the wrong number. 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, 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, 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, due to technical problems, I had to call the company's IT-support as my computer went totally haywire. I explained via phone that I couldn't access anything. The support then tried contacting me by e-mail and got upset with me when I didn't answer. FML
Today, I was fired for "customer dissatisfaction." I work in IT and have never met one of my company's customers. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

His parents were assholes

wrestlelaxskate 11
He could have said Michael Hunt.

Maybe his name isn't Michael, maybe it really is Mike?

If that were my name I would always say Michael Hunt. Even if my real name was just Mike.

It's another way to say "my ****." If you say it over and over again, you could see.

That's what customer service deals with.. It's your job to help people, not call them an idiot.

I should have called OP before Mike Hunt.

20: how would that have helped?
applebramble 22
Because he would have said his name was Morgan Freeman . That's the joke #45

Thank you @47 for explaining things. You are gorgeous by the way. And I say that in my real self not as Morgan Freeman.
LuckBeNimble 19
I caught that. -_- I just don't see how having introduced himself as Morgan Freeman would've helped his situation (inb4 "but Morgan Freeman makes everything awesome!")

I've been there. Even though you may encounter a prankster or two as a CSR, you must never assume anything. You just never know. Losing your job isn't worth letting some pea brain with nothing better to do get a laugh at your expense.

It was just an inconvenient misunderstanding; let's learn to not assume.

I'm really sorry. What parents would name their child Michael Hunt? It's an old joke, so I can understand why you didn't quite believe him, but really, never make assumptions.

Where i work an announcement went off with what sounded like "will a loosy goosey please meet their party at ...." My friend and i almost lost it, youd be surprised what people name their kids, when i was younger there were siblings named Diamond,Princess and Precious. My friend met someone in university with a name spelt Le-a which is said Ledasha......again i lost it.

I actually knew a Michael Hunt. Got angry when we called him Mike. Never understood why he didn't just go by his first name instead. Odd fellow.

the le-a is beyond old...

Not aware of the old Mike Hunt joke

It sounds like 'my ****' if you say it quickly enough.

It's a little FYL and YDI because yeah it's a common joke and you didn't think he was serious, but yet again it's work, and you should take calls at work seriously.
