Dumbest phone call ever!

[CharmedHour]

I am a dog groomer and at the shop I work at we also do bording. So, I get this phone call today and this woman asks me, "what kind of animals do you board?" I told her the usual cats, dogs, with an occasional bird or rabbit. She then asks me "do you board dairy feeders?" I was like, what's a dairy feeder? (cow was in the back of my mind). She said, "cattle." Uh, gee yeah! we board cows, on the corner of two main roads in a residential area! I didn't really say that, but oh my... Certainly a phone call I had never dreamed of getting!

Maybe she found you in the yellow pages and had never seen the actual location of your store.
Too bad you folks couldn't accomodate her. That probably would have been a large commission.

Yeah, but now that we think more about it, we think it might have been a prank call.
Today we got another weird call from someone who "couldn't remember where she dropped her dog off for grooming". We didn't have a yorkie in today named Coco and no one with her last name. When my boss told her it wasn't at our shop, she started frantically screaming "I lost my dog, I lost my dog"... And it was just way too fake.

LOL! There was one REALLY weird one I got once at a company I used to work for. The guy was calling about insurance, but this was a plumbing outfit, and he kept talking about how nice our outgoing message sounded and how glad he was that it wasn't in ebonics. He kept making racial slurs and eventually started quoting from Mein Kampf and mentioned his membership in the local KKK. The guy sounded about 80 or so.

It sounds like the kind of freaky calls my brother and I made as teenagers. We used to call rape hotlines and all sorts of things with lurid tales to freak people out when we were 15 and 13. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I think this was a prank. The fact that he used a payphone would suggest that.
