Funny Shop Prank Call
True Story - Few names changed - Quite funny considering that it actually happened - U will know towards the end..
So
I call Colombia Picture Palace since they are listed as a company who
handle picture framing and the conversation goes something like this:
Colombia Picture Palace (CPP): Hallooo?
Me: Hi, I would like to inquire how much it would cost to mount an A1 sized poster on black box board frame?
CPP: Aaah???
Me: Picture framing, picture framing... you do picture framing?
CPP: Eeeeeerrrrr, ya-ya-ya... wait a minute I'll put!
Me: *listening to "There's No Place Like Home" tin can hold music for 6 minutes*
CPP: Hallooo?
Me: Yeah, I'm calling about picture framing?
CPP: What framing?
Me: Picture framing!
CPP: We only do glass...
Me: I'm sorry, what?
CPP: Glass, Glass! Only glass doing!
Me: Um, okay... so if I give you a picture, you can't frame it, you'll
only put the glass (you can see at this point that Im starting to take
the piss out of this guy).
CPP: No not just glass, can give industrial glass. Like building glass, building glass?
Me: Um, okay. Why do I want 'building' glass for my posters?
CPP: No for poster! You put to your building. Like your house? you put to your house.
Me: I dont need glass for my house!
CPP: Then why you calling?
Me: Because your website says you do picture framing!
CPP: I don't know we have website... if its telling there must be boss's work. He also doing one one things.
Me: Can I ask you one thing?
CPP: Tell-tell, anything tell!
Me: Why are you called Colombia Picture Palace?
CPP: That of course I don't know, you have to ask boss.
Me: Where is boss?
CPP: I can't tell. Boss don't like if I tell.
Me: Ah okay. Anyone else is there.
CPP: Boss's wife is there but she wont talk to customers
Me: Okay. So no pictures in Picture Palace?
CPP: Have only one picture sir, that of course cant give!
Me: Okay, I never asked for your picture, but anyway, why can't you give?
CPP: Ah! That is picture of Boss's father. He died. Why you asking
for that picture? Who are you? If I tell Boss you are taking that
picture he will find you!
Me: (OMG! This guy is freaking out!) I wont take Boss's picture, don't worry!
CPP: Then you are telling like that?
Me: No, no. you didn't understand what I was telling. Anyway, what do you do there?
CPP: I am General Manager!
Me: Ah, good good. Anyway. I'm gonna hang up. Bye. (I don't really hang up but listen to see if he would say anything else)
CPP: Ah okay, okay. Bye!
(A short pause follows and I can here him speaking to someone else,
"Are we doing picture framing also?" to which I hear the reply,
"Otherwise?"
Me: (Yelling into the mouthpiece) Hello, HELLO!!!
