Today, at work, whilst on hold to an important client, I said to my co-workers "F*cking hell, this woman sounds high as a kite". I heard a cough on the other end of the phone. All calls are recorded. FML

Same thing different taste

The voice

Today, I had to listen to some old phone call recordings at work, in which a certain worker had the most annoying high-pitched voice. To my horror, I discovered that they were my call recordings, so the annoying voice was my own. My colleagues all concurred they cannot stand the sound of me talking. FML

Today, having been on hold on the phone for several minutes, I felt the need to release a fart. Just as I started my release, they picked up. They definitely heard. FML

Today, I was on a work call when my coworker made an accidental Freudian slip. Thinking I was muted, I muttered, "That’s what she said." I wasn’t muted. FML

Today, while at work, I let out a nasty wet fart, thinking no one would hear me since I work in a warehouse. My coworker did hear me, and replied, "WTF? Shots fired! Shots fired!" FML

We all hate cold callers

Today, while working at my call center, I took a phone call. The guy on the other line just yelled "FUCK YOU!" twice at the top of his lungs before hanging up on me. But of course, the phone agent is always at fault. FML

Trouble brewing

Today, I called a jerk of a client who has anger issues. As he started yelling and losing his temper, I began recording the call. The phone exclaimed : "This call is now being recorded." He hung up. FML

Polite but wrong

Today, my boss walked in and said something I didn't quite hear, but my co-worker chuckled so to be polite, I laughed with him. They gave me some weird looks. My boss was actually talking about his wife's tumor and my co-worker was coughing. FML

YDI for being unprofessional. Next time just wait until you're off the phone completely, or better yet just keep your mouth shut.

Next time you are going to talk shit about someone whilst you are on hold with them, cover up the handset or press mute first.

Using the word "whilst," while proper, doesn't make you sound smarter. Also, you deserved it.

People don't speak/write proper English to appear smart. They do this to communicate. Did it ever occur to you that people in other countries have different ways of speaking or writing? Whomever it was that said the internet is making the world smaller is lying. I can't believe so many people are so ignorant of what's happening outside their immediate area.

You have to be really ignorant to think that anyone who's actually intelligent is just doing it to be pretentious.

I'm sure no one will listen to that call. I worked at outbound phone company and all the calls were recorded and i ****** up some of them and i got a 100% on the one call they actually listened to. So the chances are no one will found out!
