Just an amusing short story (original) (raw)

So, amusing short story. Not really a suck or awful customer, but more of a cute WTF story. Excuse me if you have heard it before (every now and then it has gottne related on customer's suck. It is one of my favorite stories cause it is pretty amusing).

One of my jobs is a receptionist at a vet clinic. This happened years ago, so it's not word for word, but close.

Players:
Me: Guess
Guy: Guy calling in who is taking care of an old woman and her cat.

Me: Blab blah vet clinic, how may I help you?
Guy: Yeah, I'd like to make an appointment. My friend says her cat is crooked.
Me: Crooked?
Guy: Yeah, so we need to make an appointment.
I proceed to make appointment figuring I'll find out when she comes in (the guy is kinda gruff and I get the feeling he's not really wanting to go into detail at that moment)

Guy calls back:
Guy: Yeah, I'd like to cancel the appointment. She says the cat's head popped off.
Me: (to myself, WTF?!!!)It popped off?!
Guy: Yeah, she's got alzheimer's and the cat was sleeping with its head tucked under its body so she thought the head popped off.
We both laugh.
