Me: “Thank you for calling State Farm. This is Amy, how can I help you?”
Random Guy: “Who did I call?”
Me: “This is State Farm.”
RG: “God damn it, 4-1-1! That just cost me $1.49. Those sons of…”
*Awkward silence*
RG: “I just called 4-1-1 for the Honeyman State Park phone number and this is what they gave me! Can you look that number up for me?”
(I pull up a Google screen as if I have nothing better to do. At least I know I have a future at a call center if this insurance stuff doesn’t work out.)
Me: “Alright, what exactly are you looking for?” (because I’ve ALREADY forgotten what he wanted… maybe I don’t have a future at a call center.)
RG: “A rich old woman with an estate she’d like to give away…” (trailing off in laughter.)
Me: (forcing a fake laugh)
*Another awkward silence*
RG: “Honeyman State Park”
Me: “Alright, here ya go. The number is – “
RG: “oh hold on, hold on, let me get a pen. I’m breaken the law here on my cell phone driving down the street.”
(I start pulling up an auto claims screen on the computer, you know, just in case.)
RG: “Okay, go ahead.”
I proceed to give him the number, which I’m hoping concludes this fantastic phone call, but instead of him saying thank you, he says “Hey I’m taking out a personal ad. You wanna know what it says? It’s going to say “Middle aged man looking for an elderly woman, about to die, who has lots of money to hand down. You think that will fly?” (He is absolutely cracking himself up right now.)
Me: “Well, probably not, but you’ve picked the right city for it, so good work.”
RG: “Alright, well thank ya much. Have a good one.”
Faaaaaaaaantastic!!!
