Pete the bastard

Had a phone call form a guy trying to sell to us.

Caller: "Hi, can I speak to xyz please regarding our fantastic whizzo solution?"
Me: "I'm afraid he's out for the day but maybe I can help you?"
Caller: "Oh, can I ask who I'm speaking to?"
Me: "No."
Caller: "No?"
Me: "No"

That wasn't on your crib sheet was it? :-D

Give me your supplier.

Customer: "I see you have some Windows 7 pro laptops for sale, can you do them any cheaper?" Me: "I'm afraid not, we put very little markup on them and as they are refurbished they are very reasonably priced anyway." Customer:  "Seeing as it's pro I take it they come with Word and Excel?" Me: "I'm sorry, why would Pro mean that? No that is just the operating system, Office will be extra" Customer:  "What? They're not much use without Word." Me: "As I said, you can have Word/Office for an additional cost." Customer:  "Can you tell me where you buy them from please?" Me: "I'm afraid not." Customer:  "Why not?" Me: "Two reasons, one they only sell to Trade and two, why would I tell you that so that you go to them direct?" Customer:  "You're very rude?" Me: "I'm sorry you feel that way, I think we will leave it there. Goodbye."

I'm using the images you gave me, they'll determine the overall size in a sense." Customer: "I wasn't expecting it to be that size." Me: "Right I can resize everything but that means starting all over." Customer: "Can you make the font in the text box the same as the font on the images?" Me: "What font is it?" Customer: "I dunno I thought you would." Me: "But they are your images, hang on let me rummage around in my trousers I'm sure I have a crystal ball down there!" Customer: "Oh, erm, try Ariel" Luckily I know the guy, Muppet.
