An unexpected promotion?

[kitanzi]

*phone*: ding ding ding
*me*: Thank you for calling (my employer), this is Larissa. How can I help you?
*female caller*: Oh, God just answered my prayer!

ROTFLMAOASTC! I have been called many many many MANY names while working in telephone customer service.... but being called God absolutely leaves me in hysterics! My tongue still stings where I bit it! *G*

I bet she'd been shunted around an automatic phone menu for a while and was just expressing her relief to have contacted a creature with the capacity for human judgement and flexible response. Maybe she'd also sat on hold for twenty minutes, her thoughts interrupted every 45 seconds by a recording telling her how important her call is to the company. Every time that human voice comes on she has a soaring moment of hope--perhaps *finally* she has reached a human being. And every time except the last, if she hangs on that long, that hope is cruelly dashed--it's only the recording, trying to assure her that even though her call is not important enough to the company for someone to actually answer it, she should keep waiting. I've been known to say some version of "Oh thank God!" myself when I finally reach a (blameless, I know) human being, and I'm not very religious.

I'm sure it was something like that, actually... the sad thing is, she still hadn't reached someone who could actually help her with her particular issue but she remained very sweet about it. It just amused me greatly for the inadvertent implication - and because it contrasted with the more usual abuse.
