OMG How Embarrassing is this <big blushes>

[TombleyBoo]

i work in DVLA call centre. a call came thru and i had to take the reg number of the customers car. 2 of the letters were W and Y phonetically thats Whisky and Yanky but me being a complete idiot shouted down the phone is that W for WANKY
my supervisor was crying laughing as i tried to put it right!!!! he made a complaint thinking i was calling him a Wanker!!!!

you dont half hear sum stupid things on the phone tho!!!

once sumone was saying Q for cucumber lol

and N for nasal Hair!!!!

ha ha! funny.

Oh this is making me laugh too much!

I've been doing this tedious craft course with a very straight laced teacher - she's about 60 and makes all of us 30 somethings feel like naughty children. Today she taught us how to make gussets for our bags- we were all silently giggling at the word gusset - then she wanted to know if i wanted to make a strap for my bag so said very abruptly 'do you want a strapon?'

I couldn't contain it, could not supress the most childish nose snort imaginable.

I do know my phonetic alphabet (forces hubby - guess what DS will be playing in traffic jams in a few years!)
Get frustrated by people on the other end of the phone who either don't know it themselves, or insist on spelling things back to me W for whiskey, I for Indigo, L for lima which seems verypatronsiing.
Often use I for idiot instead, and my postcode always gets changed to something easy to remember - the last two have been 5 Apple Tango, and 7 Pretty Flowers!

I know this is a really old thread but just wanted to say I did exactly the same thing when I woked in a call centre. I was mortified.

rofl

am crying

lol nI'm usless with all that charlie beta ...whatever i usal sit there going erm and my ds1 ends up saying sumthing like b for bob builder lol

Thanks for reviving this thread. Has made me giggle.

This is making me laugh. I used to work in property law and had dictated a letter for my secretary to send to another firm of solicitors called Shacklocks. Later in the day when I was signing off my post I realised that letter had been addressed to Shatcocks! The worst of it was that when I went back over the file we had sent them three letter addressed to them like this. God knows what she had been thinking of when she had originally put their details in the computer system but oh how we laughed (before quickly rectifying the error of course)!

pmsl at mp's alphabet - it's taken me 10 mins to stop laughing!

God this thread is brilliant!

i always want to say F for Fuck
and W for Wank

i am sure i am not alone

Spelling out the name of a road after an argument with exP who couldnt find a particular shop, I shouted... no not P..., I said C... C for clitoris you f*ing idiot, and why am i not surprised you cant find homebase either.

I bought some cradle cap cream the other day for ds and I just couldn't say it without saying cradle crap cream. Not once but three times. It's really hard to say....

The place where I live starts with a 'Buckland' I get alot of "pardon" when I am asked my address over the phone.

When asked for my postcode, I always say Sierra November xx.

But it's alarming how many people get Sierra wrong.

CNxx?

No, SNxx you twit.

Oh, FNxx.

No, SN.

It never stops!!!

This thread has reminded me of when I addressed an internal envelope to Katie Hunt, muddling the first letter of each word. I was mortified when the aged company postman handed it back to me querying it and I read it out very loudly before I realising what I had put!

PMSL at this thread fantastic

I love MP alphabet, definately going to use it well maybe not the z one lol

not the same but similar. i worked in the classifed dept of a local newspaper and some poor old f%&kwit rang up wanted to sell his caravan.

After he dictated the ad I asked 'would you like that in simple lineage or in a box?'
'Eh? YerWhat?'
'would you like that in simple lineage or in a box?'
'Oh love, it won't fit in a box, it's a caravan!'

Don't know if he thought I was gonna pop round and gift wrap it for him!!! hehehe

ROFL, I am crying at MP's alphabet and the C for clit
