Funny things heard at work

sailorhathor- A lady calls. I say, "This is Laurel Wilson, what city and state are you leaving from?" She says to someone in the room, "I think I got another recording." O_O Bahahaha, that's the first time I've ever been referred to as an automated voice.
- I got my first crabby deaf person recently. We take what's called a relay call, which is where a deaf person on one of those phones you can type on calls into a relay service, and they call us and relay what the person is saying so we can answer their questions. Usually, they're nice. One call I got like this recently was from the grumpiest deaf person ever. Very impatient, and snapped at me for asking if there was anything else I could help them with. XD "I've got another call to make!" and hung up on me. XD
- A lady who called tonight kinda pissed me off. (This one isn't funny. ~_^) I asked what date she was departing and she snaps, "I don't know, my sister hasn't died yet." What am I, a fucking fortune teller? Like I have any idea what she's traveling for. Wah wah wah. Life's tough. Don't take your troubles out on me.
- A guy called the other night who pretty much fufilled my Crazy Person quota for the week. First he bites my head off for interrupting him, saying that if I do it again, he's going to sue Greyhound because he's had a nervous breakdown recently (surprise surprise!), and being interrupted could set him off again. Wow, someone needs to be locked up for the protection of society if being interrupted could send them back to the funny farm. And don't the courts just LOVE frivolous lawsuits of this type? Think he'd win? XD Then he claims I'm lying to him about the price, that I'm quoting December's prices because the price is higher than he wants it to be. I reply no, I'm looking up prices for February 4, the day he said he wanted to leave. So he asks me to check several different cities, trying to get the price down to something he likes. He cannot find a city at a price he likes, so he launches into a tirade about how Greyhound needs to work on its customer service since he can't get the ticket at his skinflint crazy person price. I tried to explain that prices were based on distance and stuff like that, and he barks that oh, then he's paying the drivers for how far they drive. Um, well, yeah; what's the problem with that? The drivers don't deserve to be paid? He wants us to be able to fold the map and drive a straight line like Mrs. Todd's fucking shortcut or what? I'm like gaaaaaawd, just shut the fuck up and hang up on me already. Crazy Man finally does me a favor and threatens to start a petition to get Greyhound to lower their prices so they'll suit his insane mind and hangs up. Oh, and he told me that he'd already put in at least 30 complaints with Customer Service about various things regarding Greyhound. Again, big surprise. I bet they love him over there.
- Tonight, a man flirts with me, asking me if I want to go on the trip with him (everyone gets that every once in awhile), and before he hangs up, goes, "I love you honey." I just thought that was funny in a silly way. ^_^
