Well, here's a funny story. A service advisor dealt with a customer who was convinced her car's engine was overheating because the dashboard light was on. But when the advisor checked, it was just a loose wire that was causing the false alarm. And then there was the case where a customer came in saying his car smelled like fish. Turns out he had left a bag of old seafood in the trunk for days.
A service advisor once had a customer who said his car was making a 'whooshing' sound. The advisor checked everything and finally realized the customer had a new phone mount on the windshield. The air from the vents was hitting it and creating the noise. Another one was a customer who thought his car's GPS was sending him to the wrong places. Turns out he had the wrong country settings on it.
Sure. There was a financial advisor who had a client who thought that putting all their money into a lottery ticket was a good investment strategy. The advisor had to patiently explain the concept of probability and diversification all over again.
In my national service, we had a cooking duty once. One of my mates was trying to make a simple soup but accidentally added salt instead of sugar at first. When he tasted it, his face was priceless. He quickly corrected it, and we all had a good laugh about it later. It was a simple mistake but made for a really funny memory.
Sure. One time, a customer in a diner asked for a burger without pickles. But when the burger arrived, it was full of pickles. The customer was so confused and the waiter was extremely embarrassed. They quickly made a new one and gave the customer a free dessert to make up for it.
Sure. Once, a customer called the service desk asking if we could help him find his pet parrot that had flown out of his window. He thought since we were a service desk, we could do anything! Another time, a customer was so confused about how to turn on their new laptop that they accidentally put it in the microwave instead of plugging it in.
Sure. There was a service dog named Max. One day, his owner dropped a coin and it rolled under a bench. Max immediately lay down on his belly and reached under the bench with his paw, just like a human would do. He retrieved the coin and proudly dropped it in his owner's hand, looking for a treat as a reward.
Sure. One time during a community clean - up, we were supposed to paint over some graffiti. But one of the volunteers accidentally painted himself instead of the wall. He had a big splotch of blue paint on his nose and cheeks. It was hilarious.
Sure. There was a time when a fireman was trying to rescue a cat from a tree. The cat was so scared that it climbed even higher every time the ladder got close. Finally, the cat just jumped right into the fireman's arms as if it suddenly decided 'okay, this is my only way out'.
Sure. There was a customer who called a pizza place. He asked if they could make a pizza in the shape of a heart for his girlfriend. The customer service rep said they'd try. When the pizza arrived, it was a normal round pizza with a heart drawn on the box in ketchup. The customer laughed and said it was the most 'creative' heart - shaped pizza ever.
A customer in a clothing store asked the salesperson if the clothes were made for 'aliens' because the designs were so unique. The salesperson took it in good humor and started joking about intergalactic fashion trends. They ended up having a great conversation and the customer bought several items. It was really funny how a strange comment led to a positive shopping experience.
