Got a unique call at work yesterday. This is how it went down:
Me: Thank you for calling ____. May I help you?
Crazy Lady: Yeah, I got this tater that I need to get looked at.
(What I heard was "tater", but I wasn't quite sure if that was right.)
Me: You have a what?
Lady: A tater.
(Figured I'd just go along with it and figure it out as the conversation progressed.)
Lady: I need to get my tater washed and cleaned up.
Me: Okay, have you been in with your pet before?
Lady: No.
Me: What kind of dog is Tater?
(My best guess.)
Lady: No! Not Tater. It's a tiger!
(Okay.)
Me: A tiger?
Lady: Yes!
(Rolling with it being as nice as possible....)
Me: Well, ma'am, I'm sorry but our facility isn't set up for tigers.
Lady: It's not? You can't bathe him?
Me: No ma'am.
Lady: (Sounding very disappointed) Oh....
Me: But good luck!
She had sounded pretty out of it, so I figured she was on something or trying out a really weird joke. I had to post something about it on FB because it was just too good not to, and I got this as a comment from a friend:
"It's really funny you posted this because one of my other friends just posted that ____ County animal shelter was going to pickup a tiger while she was there...lol!!!"
After the call I had done a *69, and the number was actually from that county.
