If there was a contest among my professional friends for the strangest office phone call I would totally win after the phone call I got yesterday afternoon. The phone call wasn't on my line actually it was for the other agent in the office who is not only a professional acquaintance but also one of my very good friends. Here is how the conversation went.
ring ring
me: Farmers Insurance this is Robin! ( I am always smiling when answer the phone)
him: um, who is this? who did I reach?
me: Farmers Insurance
him: oh, well I am a student in Boise and someone from this number paged me yesterday.
me: ok well that would have been LaRee. Whats your name and I can find out what it might have been about? ( she was out of the office or I would have just asked)
him: well, um this might be funny question but is anyone there planning a bachelorette party?
me: no, not that I am aware of.
him: this may be really strange and I am almost embarrassed to say anything since this is probably a misunderstanding but well....as I said before I am a student in Boise but I am also an um......."entertainer". ( he used the quote marks in the air, I could just tell)
me: oh
me: oh well ( in my mind I was a little more shocked!!)
me: I guess what you are saying is you like to have fun at bachelorette parties? ( sheesh I am dumb)
him: well its not very fun, when you get paid to do it. (whatever!)
me: well I guess you have to pay for college some how? ( I am so shocked by now I am sympathetic???)
him: are you sure no one paged me from this number? ( he repeated it for me, and it was indeed LaRee's number)
me: I can guarantee it. ( LaRee is a very sweet LDS lady)
him: well ok, sorry to have bothered you have a wonderful day!
me: holy crap you too!
Weirdest thing EVER!!!!!!!!
I win right????? RIGHT!!!??
How did you keep from giggling? I would have been so embarassed that I'd have made a total ninny of my self. That is the funniest call ever. Do you think he was just trying to drum up buisness?
