'She asked me to transfer her to the governor...': Phone operators for banks, pharmacies, and other white collar jobs share the most laughable requests they've gotten from customers

If you have ever worked the phones at any job, then you know just how nutso people can get on the other side. It's almost as chaotic as trolls on the internet. That essence of anonymity that talking through a phone creates a "no-shame" mentality and now you have people asking you questions they would be way to embarrassed to do face-to-face. Just because you're talking to someone at the Walgreens pharmacy doesn't mean you are talking to your doctor, so why are you telling them about the weird bump on you bum?? One time, while I was working in retail, a man called me to have me walk through the store for an hour and tell him which clothes would be best for a "sl*tty slave maid outfit," I was 17… Anyways, that's just one of the many examples of the most laughable request white collar employees get over the phone. See over 20 more below!
