Funny story from last teusday, don't know why I didn't share it.
We are a small mom and pop lube shop, and our phone number is 1 digit off from some doctors office.
I get to the shop before my boss.... Don't know why. Probably cause I was out of coffee at the house, and I knew there was a bunch there. And free coffee is way better.
I decide to engage in some management activities... Get the workorder program ready on the computer, count down the drawer from yesterday, blah blah blah.
Phone rings. Its 7:20, I have a policy of not answering the phone until 7:35. We open at 8.
Answering machine picks up....
"Hello Doctor Brown, this is Joyce *******. I need to talk to you about possible drug interactions for my husband.
He ordered some pills off the tv for his.... for his uh... uhm. His erection.
He has ordered other stuff before but they upset his stomache, so if you your or nurse practicioner can call me back at ###-#### I'd really appreciate it."
So glad I didn't answer the phone and have this conversation instead:
"Sir lube."
"Is this doctor browns office?"
"Nope, this is a lube shop."

| | | | Not answering machine fun, but work related phone fun nonetheless.
First supervisor job I got on condition I get a home phone so I could be reached if there was a problem at work.
For the most part I'd pick up the phone whenever it rang, but if I didn't want to mess with work related crap I'd forward my calls to the guard shack at work.
The guys in the machine shop would dial my number and the gate guard would answer the phone. For quite some time they thought there was some glitch in the company phone system.

But, "drug interactions" can be a serious thing even if it's just for Mr Boner. Hopefully this wasn't something serious.

I had a coworker, when I worked in a shipyard years ago, who loved to annoy the boss. One day the boss repeatedly tried to call the shop, the coworker answered the phone each time but named off a different shop. We were carpenters, so he would answer differently on each call: riggers, pipe shop, painter, etc. Finally the boss came in and yelled at him saying "I know it was you. Never, ever, ever answer that phone again".
About a month later the coworker was in the shop again and the boss was trying to call. Finally the boss showed up and yelled at him for not picking up the phone. The coworker told the boss "you said to never, ever ever answer that phone again. So I didn't answer".
The boss was speechless.
You have to picture this, it makes it even funnier. The boss was about a full head shorter than the coworker and wore "coke bottle" glasses. So here he is yelling up at my coworker, who was about 60 and was trying not to laugh since this was the reaction he was trying to get. |
