I work in a call center and my main job is to do forecasting and scheduling. Part of my job does involve some contact with the representatives who take the daily calls as they will call my department and notify us of issues that may require them to need time off the phones. I for one had a brief experience being that person taking those calls so I know when a PC Crashes it’s upsetting. So when someone calls and tells me they need sometime I will on time share a light bit of puns, not always funny but at least its something. (drum roll) Here are some examples………
(Oh, I don’t blame you know if you groan or just shake your head, I’ll be first to admit they are not the greatest.)
Representative…I need 10 minutes to reboot my pc it’s all frozen up.
Me….Well you could try using a hair dryer or space heater.
Representative….My pc has puked all over me.
Me…Well I can see why you need sometime. You have to get some handy wipes or paper towels to clean that up.
Representative….My pc just crashed on me.
Me…..Ouch I guess we will have to become a Hard Hat area.
Representative….My pc has frozen on me can I get some time.
Me…(keep in mind this was in Summer)…..Wow, you’d think with how hot it is outside nothing would freeze up unless the A/C by you is on Icebox setting.
Representative…..My pc is not working and I’m out to throw it out the window.
Me….Well make sure to look before you toss, and I’d have your stuff packed for when the police arrive.
Representative…..My computer just stopped working on me.
Me….Oh I hope it’s not a start of a pc strike and they are doing a work stoppage.
Oh if you’ve made it this far here is the last one I’m sharing, and I wish I could say saved the best for last but all of them are random.
Representative…I need some time to call the help desk as my pc is making weird noises.
Me….Well, the power little hamster running it must need to be changed out sounds like he’s running on his last legs.
