Have you ever just had one of those days that no matter what were said seemingly you and everyone around you seemed to have their minds in the gutter? You ask a simple question such as: “Have you had this?” Only to have whoever is around you start giggling telling you “You could have chosen a different word.” That was my night.
First call of the night was a regular customer that calls in. When she’s been drinking she always saying “I love you” The conversation last night went waaaaaaaay beyond that. When she realized who she was talking to, she got all excited because I don’t typically help her anymore since I work the graveyard shift now. So besides the over abundance of ‘I Love YOUs” and I the ‘I miss yous’ “I got you need to come over and party with me.” “Does your husband want a threesome? “ Would he want another guy or another girl?” “You need to talk more you voice is so sexy.” I hate to say it; all I could do was laugh. I wasn’t offended or anything. I have gotten use to the innuendos from drunk people over the past year due to the shift I work. She asks me to send her a young sexy driver that she can fuck. I laughed even harder and asked her if she’s taken a look at our drivers lately? Then she asked which driver she was getting and me and my mouth say “Have you had driver 999?” Of course she answers with ‘Not yet but if their willing, I’ll let you know.” My coworker literally spit out the swallow of water she just took and laughing hysterically…’you had to use the word HAD!!”
I know she’s ‘been’ with several of our drivers and we have one driver in particular that has ‘been’ with several customers and yes these two did hook up. She asks me if that driver is still working for us and I said yes. She then asks “Do you want to hear a joke?” I knew I was in trouble but said sure. “What is the male version of a ‘dead fish’?” “I have no clue.” “A dead fuck.” Knowing who she was talking about, I threw up in my mouth a little. I actually find this individual repulsive (for far more reasons than he sleeps with anything that moves.) After about 10 minutes I got her off the phone. Yay me!!
Another customer asked if there was anyone else to talk to because talking to me was giving him a hard on and his girlfriend didn’t like it.
Another said I should record the greeting so that the customers calling in would be too excited or turned on that they’d forget they had any issues.
One asked me to motorboat over the phone but I had to throw in a few ‘ahs’ in there for good measure.
‘Your voice is like velvet and velvet on my dick would be wonderful.’
“You sound like pure sex.”
Mind you have heard most of this in one form or another over the past year. However last night just seemed to be on fire. In fact, anytime I have worked on phones, I hear it a lot. I guess that’s why I don’t get many complaints.
I just tried to be polite and cordial all night, but I kept seemingly putting my foot in my mouth. My coworker’s sides hurt so bad from laugh so hard
On Friday night we had a pretty long wait time. I had a customer call up did not know where they were and I told her we needed and address to pick her up. She called me a fucking bitch and that she was going to file assault charges on me for not sending a cab to pick her up. I asked her what would justify the ‘assault’ her response was refusing to pick her up in freezing weather. Trying not to laugh I told her that I can’t very well send a cab to pick her up if she doesn’t know where she is. Go figure she hung up on me.
I know a lot of people would see this as sexual harassment and yeah it is, to a point. I personally choose to not let it affect me. I have been told I shouldn’t let people talk to me that way, but am I supposed to get snippy with our customer base (again most of whom I deal with are impaired in some way) or I laugh it off? I would much rather than have a night like this than one where everyone is yelling at me. We choose what offends us. We choose to be happy. If I let every little thing like this bother me, I would be a raving lunatic. I can be overly sensitive sometimes, mostly to the yelling and that is a trigger for my PTSD) I try to have more sensibility about what I let bother me. I definitely don’t encourage the behavior, but I don’t chastise them either.
What would you do?
How would you feel?
Let me know!!!
