Allegedly a transcript of a friend's friend at work today but not convinced. Even so, I've not seen this before and it amused me so here goes...

Okay, now everyone knows that DHL don't like me very much. I've had many run ins with them before but i've never been threatened before. I'll leave it to you lot to decide whether or not it was justified.



Them: Good afternoon, DHL, my name is Sarah how can i help you today?
Me: Hi, I'd like to send a parcel to Belgium please?
Them: O k sir, what's in the parcel?
Me: half a kilo of platinum
Them: platinum?
Me: yes platinum
Them: Well, we cant ship that sir
Me: Why not?
Them: its too high risk, it will get stolen
Me: Can i not insure it?
Them: How much is it worth?
Me: 15000
Them: No you cannot insure it. I'm sorry sir but DHL do not trade in precious metals

*hangs up*

'damn' i think. I'll have to be a bit more wiley
I ring them back

Them: Good afternoon you're through to DHL this is Sarah speaking how can i help you?
Me: hello i'd like to send a parcel to belgium
Them: OK sir, what's in the parcel?
Me: Little metal pots
Them: Little metal pots?
Me: Yeah, little metal pots, they are machine tooled metal crucibles
Them: Erm, ok sir and what's the value?
Me: 15000
Them: Wait a second, did you ring through a few minutes ago and try to send platinum to belgium
Me: Erm, no
Them: Yes you are, you said you wanted to send half a kilo of platinum to belgium
Me: No I'm not
Them: Oh, oh right. sorry to accuse you of anything its just the customer i had before you had a very similar order and we couldn't take it.
Me: Don't worry about it.
Them: Thanks, so what are these pots made of, for harmonised custom codes?
Me: Erm. platinum
Them: It is you.
Me: No it isn't...
Them: Look i told you before, we don't deal in precious metals
*hangs up*

God Dammit
Right, I decided, this time i'll lie!

Them: Good afternoon you're through to DHL this is Lynn speaking, how can i help?
*brilliant, its a different person*
Me: Hello i'd like to send a parcel to Belgium
Them: Of course sir, what's in the parcel?
Me: Metal pots
Them: Metal pots?
Me: Yeah little metal pots
Them: I'm sorry, did you just ring my colleague twice and ask for half a kilo of platinum to go to belgium
*now this i did not expect*
Me: Erm, no
Them: What are the pots made out of, sir?
Me: Steel
Them:S teel?
Me: Yeah chrome steel.
Them: Apologies sir, its just we've had this man ringing up and trying to get us to send half a kilo of platinum to belgium
Me: Is there a problem with that?
Them: Yes sir DHL don't deal in precious metals, especially not half a kilo. But that is something else anyway, not of any interest to you sir.
Me: Oh OK
Them: ok whats the weight of this parcel sir?
Me: Half a kilo
Them: H alf a kilo?
Me: yeah, half a kilo
Me: erm, can you hold please?
*shit*

wait a few moments
Them: Hello?
Me: oh hello
(oh shit its the woman from before)
Them: Can you please confirm that these are perfectly ordinary steel pots and not precious metals please?
Me: Yes i can confirm that these are steel pots and are not precious metals
Them: Ok thank you sir, its just your order bears a strong resemblance to one we have been having problems with.
Me: Don't mention it, I've heard.
Them: Whats the value sir?
Me: 15000
Them: 15000?
Me: Yeah 15000
Them: For steel pots?
Me: E rm, yes
Them: Sir if you don't stop calling I'm going to have to ring the police

*hangs up*

I decided not to try again today...

your friend is a wanker if this is real, if he got arrested for harassment now that would be funny
Edit: perhaps i sympathise with them, i worked in jobs dealing with morons all day in the past

It's not even very funny.

I had images of a very innocent monty python sketch.

 

[Overdriven]

I found it funny.
