When you answer someone else's phone at work

Tazzles [Edit] [Delete] 8 replies 16:59, 11 May '07

and the person on the other end says 'maybe you can help me then' and proceeds to talk about something you know absolutely nothing about for about fifteen minutes.

Is this the most annoying thing in the universe?

  • oh yes

    completely, I always get that. I also hate when they've already left a voicemail message on that person's phone, as well as emailed but they still want you take a message! grr

  • If they ask that always say

    "I can try" and then when they get to something you don't understand go "ap-ba-ba-ba-bap", then tell them you'll take a message.

  • Ha

    That happened to me today. The guy spoke for literally 5 minutes solid. When he finished I just said "Ok, i'm just going to put you through to admin. You'll have to repeat that all again, sorry". Fool.
