To have laughed

[TellMeItsNotTrue]

AIBU to have laughed at this and now be telling you?

I've spent the morning with my sister and while I was there she had to call and chase something up, they asked her for her order number and she read it out to them starting with S for Sea. That made me laugh so I walked out of the room so I didn't distract her, she gave me a dirty look. I walked back in after composing myself to hear her arguing about the order number being wrong, apparently it was too many digits. So the man on the other end of the phone read it back to her "S4C...." which started me off again looks like it wasn't just me that heard it that way! The S was the only letter in it as well so he couldn't have realised from her saying F for frog or whatever

Anyway, she is in a huff with me and the useless member of staff who works for that company, WIBU for telling her to lighten up when she was moaning about it?

Does anyone else have any S for Sea type mistakes they have made or heard someone else make? I could do with some more laughing

Hahahaha. "No my name is Darren" hahahaha

Colleague on phone "My name's Clarke with an Email".

Letter arrived addressed to Mrs Clark-Withaney.

A friend in work wife was on the phone to an insurance company.
He was watching her writing something down and she kept saying "you neeed to slow down please".
She was writing everything the person was saying, so t for tango, a for alpha etc. He was in hysterics.

I had a very bad run with a particular company a while ago. After about twenty phone calls over a two week period to an Indian call centre, then a day when I'd spent most of it on hold, and having repeated my order number about twenty times, I was relegated to:

F for Fuck Off. G for Go Fuck Yourself. 6. 9. W for Wanker. D for Dickhead. 9. 6. 5. M for Moron. S for Stick it up your fucking arse. G for Goddamn Motherfucker.

I work in the car industry and we are sad enough to have a little black book of extra special ones.

U for up your bum and O for one night stand being my favourites this week, some are very disappointed when we let them know we already had that one this week and they need to try harder.

Customers crack up when I casually tell them it's uniform and oscar.

Love these!

I'm usually quite good at remembering the proper ones but said U for Unicorn on the phone the other day and DH had to leave the room he was laughing so hard!

My Dh uses the phonetic alphabet for work, so he'll often spell out things phonetically enunciating each word. It really bugs me.

Even though I also know the phonetic alphabet I'll deliberately use wrong words (apple, ball etc) to him / if in his hearing (I'm petty like that 😆)

I am loving all of these

Our other sister was also amused when I told her, I think it may end up as one of those moments that go down in family history!

One of my coworkers filed a complaint against me as he was spelling out a word and said 'G for...... Goat' . we were in hysterics.
I successfully argued Goat is an intrinsically funny word

kaelea - a bit similar to yours, I used to work in a blood transfusion centre back in the late 80s/ early 90s, when getting a test for HIV could have a negative impact on your health insurance, so people would give blood just to be tested, frequently using a false name. We had a few Donald Ducks and Mickey Mouses that were weeded out - and then one day I found a Carey Oakey, so thought "here we go".

Turns out he was entirely genuine and had donated several times.

I love "L for leather". Brilliant

emwithme - years ago I was friends with a woman called Anne (with an 'e'!) She received a letter addressed to Miss. Anne Wiffanny Jones.

My friend once said at work to a director she had just booked travel for whilst conveying the travel reference number 'Y for wanky'. Well she was nearly right!

Vera Eggplant Rubber Yodel. Fingertips Underpants Nah Nah Yodel 😸

My daughter once said "Y" for wankee instead of Yankee on a work call. We've never let her live it down and it makes me take a second to check myself everytime I have to say "Y" for ......

Our previous postcode ended with RS. After years and years DD asked 'Mummy, who are Robert and Susan'?

I have a few alphabets stuck on my desk. The normal one. The animal one. A rude one and a celeb one.

A for antelope e for elephant k for kangaroo etc

A for arse b for boobs c for crap d for dick etc

A for angelina Jolie
B for brad pitt
K for Kanye etc

A colleague once used S for sausage which the rest of us found very amusing

I used to work in a call centre as a teenager, after school, along with many of my friends. We used to challenge each other with different topics for our phonetic alphabets each shift. Dinosaurs was a particularly memorable evening.
"So that's T for triceratops, V for velociraptor?"

My middle name begins with F and whenever I give my initials over the phone (with credit card details etc) I always say "F for Freddie" and every time I fall over myself to explain that my middle name isn't actually Freddie. Why I never just say F for I just don't know!!!

someone said to my sil at her workplace on a call its z for xylophone

do u mean x for xray she said no its for bloody xylophone!

I was in french class at school. The teacher said we are going to do the french version of A is for apple, B is for ball, C is for cat etc. Randomly 1 person at a time. She pointed at me to be the first...I was unprepared. I said A est pour pomme.

Just today I had a customer say "W for....wanker!" And the followed it up quickly with"oh shit! I mean whiskey!"

This thread has certainly cheered me up.
