Funny Phone Freaks

After reading SPC’s post today entitled “This is business, not phone sex, PERV“, I was inspired to write about some funny/inappropriate calls we got back when I was working at IKEA.



I once called a woman to tell her that her backorder was in stock. The conversation was as follows:

-Hi, my name is Ian and I’m calling from IKEA. How are you today?

-(In a tired/moaning voice) Oh, I’m fine thanks. I just had sex.

-Uhhh…that’s……nice? :) (Yes you can hear smiles through the phone)

-Yes it is. Anyway my IKEA friend, what would YOU like?

-Oh! Well, my news isn’t as exciting, but I’m calling to let you know that your curtains are in stock! :)

-Great! How do we proceed with this?




The rest of the conversation was pretty normal. She was actually a really nice lady.



Another call I remember [another agent got it] was a french caller (I will translate):

-Thank you for your order, I will need you postal code to calculate the shipping costs.

-Sure: V like “Vagina”, 8, B like “Boobs”

-…V8B, yes…

-3, D like “Dick”, 5

-(trying to play it off) Last week a client told me: V like “Vodka”, 6, B like “Beer” (small laugh)

-Well, it’s obvious that she likes alcohol and I like sex.

-O…K…? Well, your shipping charges will be…




Again, after this little banter, the lady was perfectly normal. Weird.



Not quite as bad as SPC’s call, but I guess some people are just lonely and need some call center friends… ;) I can’t think of any other ones off the top of my head right now, but these 2 were good!
