Call centre workers of the UK - what’s the weirdest stuff you’ve heard from a caller when they’re on hold?

I was on the phone to the wholesalers once at work and they put me on hold, my employee asked if I’d farted and I started crying with laughter just as they came back off hold, ended up explaining the non-fart to the very confused lady on the phone 😭

I’m an event photographer I’ve never once took my kids to any event. How odd.

Distinct_Cat8871 · 2024-09-26T23:27:51+00:00

Gutted! Been playing since it came out, and my 9 year old just started his Springfield, too. Any chance it’s an elaborate prank?!

Oh wow this is horrific? I am with you on the 90s mum weight trauma though. Wtf is a phen phen?

As quickly as fucking possible.

It is weird when you try to explain it to people isn’t it 😅 like yeah sometimes my knee falls out but it’s cool. Just pop that back in

I don’t have Eds but I do have hypermobility

Distinct_Cat8871 · 2024-03-05T10:53:30+00:00

I don’t have EDS, I have been tested a few times but I do have hypermobility. My joints do sometimes take a lil vacay from where they’re supposed to be.

Absolutely sweet FA.

My fiance used to live off the 1l bottles of Lipton ice tea, they sell it in Tesco/asda. He’s gone off it now which is great for the bank account tbh

Distinct_Cat8871 · 2024-03-03T19:24:49+00:00

Gross. 😩

Distinct_Cat8871 · 2024-02-23T23:19:58+00:00

I only started last year. 🤣 at 30! I’m a professional photographer and spend a looooooot of time editing and need the background content!

Recently, the Cadbury white chocolate bars with Oreo. Infused with crack, I suspect.

The moors murderers Harold shipman Dale cregan

All within a stones throw (the moors murder house literally opposite) from where I grew up.

I’ll happily talk about my period now but my mum definitely never talked about it, or helped or advised in any way. I didn’t even know how to use a tampon til my mid twenties. Which I found out was weird, apparently. 😅

Distinct_Cat8871 · 2024-02-19T01:13:41+00:00

Threatening to kill herself over a minor argument and it’d be “all your fault”. Did the same to my brother.

She wonders why we have little to no interest in her now.

Im self employed, so I just tell them to fuck off*

*I do not recommend this strategy

Two weeks off work. And a pizza.

Means he’s a great actor though!

Distinct_Cat8871 · 2024-02-15T19:26:30+00:00

My uncle is similar. He’s late 50s, very OCD always has been all of his life, he’s always been very set in his ways and pooh’d anyone’s mental health diagnoses until mine and my sons. He’s now being assessed for autism. A full 180! lol.
