    Call Centre Conversations


    Customer: "I've been ringing 0700 2300 for two days and can't get through to enquiries, can you help?".

    Operator: "Where did you get that number from, sir?".

    Customer: "It was on the door to the Travel Centre".

    Operator: "Sir, they are our opening hours".

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Samsung Electronics

    Caller: "Can you give me the telephone number for Jack?"

    Operator: "I'm sorry, sir, I don't understand who you are talking about".

    Caller: "On page 1, section 5, of the user guide it clearly states that I need to unplug the fax machine from the AC wall socket and telephone Jack before cleaning. Now, can you give me the number for Jack?"

    Operator: "I think you mean the telephone point on the wall".

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    RAC Motoring Services

    Caller: "Does your European Breakdown Policy cover me when I am travelling in Australia?"

    Operator: " Doesn't the product give you a clue?"

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Caller (enquiring about legal requirements while travelling in France):

    "If I register my car in France, do I have to change the steering wheel to the other side of the car?"

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Directory Enquiries

    Caller: "I'd like the number of the Argoed Fish Bar in Cardiff please".

    Operator: "I'm sorry, there's no listing. Is the spelling correct?"

    Caller: "Well, it used to be called the Bargoed Fish Bar but the 'B' fell off".

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------









    Then there was the caller who asked for a knitwear company in Woven.

    Operator: "Woven? Are you sure?"

    Caller: "Yes. That's what it says on the label; Woven in Scotland".

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On another occasion, a man making heavy breathing sounds from a phone box told a worried operator:

    "I haven't got a pen, so I'm steaming up the window to write the number on".

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Tech Support: "I need you to right-click on the Open Desktop".

    Customer: "OK".

    Tech Support: "Did you get a pop-up menu?".

    Customer: "No".

    Tech Support: "OK. Right-Click again. Do you see a pop-up menu?"

    Customer: "No".

    Tech Support: "OK, sir. Can you tell me what you have done up until this point?".

    Customer: "Sure. You told me to write 'click' and I wrote 'click'".

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Tech Support: "OK. In the bottom left hand side of the screen, can you see the 'OK' button displayed?"

    Customer: "Wow. How can you see my screen from there?"

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Caller: "I deleted a file from my PC last week and I have just realised that I need it.

    If I turn my system clock back two weeks will I have my file back again?".

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    There's always one. This has got to be one of the funniest things in a long time. This guy should have been promoted, not fired. This is a true story from the Word Perfect Helpline, which was transcribed from a recording monitoring the customer care department. Needless to say the Help Desk employee was fired; however, he/she is currently suing the Word Perfect organization for "Termination without Cause".

    Actual dialogue of a former WordPerfect Customer Support employee. (Now I know why they record these conversations!):

    Operator: "Ridge Hall, computer assistance; may I help you?"

    Caller: "Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect."

    Operator: "What sort of trouble??"

    Caller: "Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away."

    Operator: "Went away?"

    Caller: "They disappeared."

    Operator: "Hmm So what does your screen look like now?"

    Caller: "Nothing."

    Operator: "Nothing??"

    Caller: "It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type."

    Operator: "Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out??"

    Caller: "How do I tell?"

    Operator: "Can you see the C: prompt on the screen??"

    Caller: "What's a sea-prompt?"

    Operator: "Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?"

    Caller: "There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I type."

    Operator: "Does your monitor have a power indicator??"

    Caller: "What's a monitor?"

    Operator: "It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on??"

    Caller: "I don't know."

    Operator: "Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that??"







    Caller: "Yes, I think so."

    Operator: "Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall.

    Caller: "Yes, it is."

    Operator: "When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one??"

    Caller: "No."

    Operator: "Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable."

    Caller: "Okay, here it is."

    Operator: "Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer."

    Caller: "I can't reach."

    Operator: "Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is??"

    Caller: "No."

    Operator: "Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over??"

    Caller: "Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle - it's because it's dark."

    Operator: "Dark??"

    Caller: "Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window.

    " Operator: "Well, turn on the office light then."

    Caller: "I can't."

    Operator: "No? Why not??"

    Caller: "Because there's a power failure."

    Operator: "A power......... A power failure? Aha, Okay, we've got it licked now.

    Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in??"

    Caller: "Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."

    Operator: "Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from."

    Caller: "Really? Is it that bad?"

    Operator: "Yes, I'm afraid it is."

    Caller: "Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them??"

    Operator: "Tell them you're too b***y stupid to own a computer

      Any operator would have done the same - can't believe he was fired for it ( assuming it's true ...).
