NEW CONTACT CENTER "PHUNNIES"

A GENDER NEUTRAL PRESCRIPTION
Here is how my very FIRST call as a rep went.
Caller: I want to know why my husband's prescription drug was denied.
Phone Rep: What was the drug prescribed for?
Caller:  His her.
Phone Rep: Excuse me?
Caller:  His her.
Phone Rep:  Can you repeat that?
Caller: His her!
Phone Rep: I'm sorry but I don't know what "her" is.
Caller:  It's for his "her"!!!  He's bald!  He ain't got no "her" on his head!

THERE'S A GOOD REASON FOR THAT...
Caller: I keep trying to use a 3.5" floppy diskette, but the PC just keeps spitting it out.
Tech: Does it go in all the way?
Caller: Not really, it goes almost all the way; then it springs back out again.
Tech: Can you explain to me step-by-step how you insert the diskette ?
Caller: Well, I push the button, and this tray pops out. Then I place the floppy disk on this round area and push the button again.
Tech: You might want to try the slot right above the tray. It's called the floppy drive.

PAGING DR. LUCILLE, PAGING DR. LUCILLE
One of my friends works in the customer service center for a pager company. He handles usual complaints, as well as the occasional crank caller demanding to be paged less often, more often, or by more interesting people. But the best call came from a man who repeatedly called and complained that he was being paged by "Lucille."
Caller: How can I get "Lucille" to stop paging me?
Phone Rep: You should call her and tell her to stop paging you.
Caller: But she never leaves a number, so I can't call her back.
Phone Rep: How do you know it's someone named Lucille if she's not leaving a number?
Caller: She leaves her name.
Phone Rep: (realizing the man has a text pager) How does she spell her name?
Caller: L-O-W C-E-L-L
