Ok ok…not sure I can top those but hey, I’ll try.
Back in Y2K and was doing some web development for one of the top financial institutions in the world. Huge and v. important account for us as a small company. At the time, I had a very good girl friend who just happened to have the same name as the Account Manager at said company.
So one day, our receptionist calls me up and says “Hiya, I have Helen on the line for you“. I was expecting a call from my friend who was heavily pregnant and due at any time.
So “Heya fat bitch, have you dropped yet?” is probably not a line I’ll ever use on the phone again!! :sarcasm:
And in case you wondered, yes we somehow managed to keep the account.
