I had a customer on the phone, asked her to spell out her name this way.
Customer: "B as in Bubble, O as in Orange....C as in Sick".
Me: *brief silence* "Do you mean C as in...Canada?
Cust: "Yes, that's what I said!".

Bravo Juliette . Sorry, after years of resetting passwords, I just can't forget the phonetic alphabet, and now can't remember my postcode any other way :~

My Mil has come out with some gems over the years. The best one recently was " these newts then, do they grow into frogs?"

I had to desperately try to keep a straight face when a little girl at the school I work in was telling me her troubles and told me that a group of girls had come into the corner she was standing in. Apparently they all had a gang bang. What she meant was they ganged up on her.

A couple of weeks ago a colleague of mine was overheard talking to another colleague, saying "Remind me again, which are real - unicorns or seahorses?" :rotfl:

Just remembered this one as I was about to recount it to a mutual friend...

I had recently been freelancing on a project with a bloke, now bald, that my friend, let's call her Muriel, went to college with. She and I were getting in the lifts to go to lunch when he came along and got in with us. She said to him 'I didn't recognise you for a minute, the last time I saw you you...' and then stopped herself before saying 'had hair' but flummoxed then said 'were wearing a jacket'????!

I looked at her with a '!!!!!!, you couldn't think of anything better than that?' expression and we both managed to contain our laughter until we got out when we giggled like schoolgirls

Many years ago I had to sign a BT engineer into a secure area - his name was Jose Fuentes which sounded to me like here to do a phone test

I said I know you're here to do a phone test, but what's your name

Jose Fuentes

After about 10 minutes, he wrote his name for me

I went red very quickly

I used to work in an open plan office a few years ago, and our department and the one across used to regularly chat to each other. Late one afternoon we were all working away (for a change!), so the office was fairly quiet, one of the ladies (in her 50's) in the other department suddenly pipes up;

"I don't know whether I'm coming or going, but I know what I'd rather be doing"

Cue raucous laugher from both departments, whilst the lady in question is sat there wondering what we were laughing at. It took her a couple of minutes, and then she turned a nice shade of crimson as the penny dropped!

"I mean I'd rather be going home" she flustered. It took until home time for the giggles to stop!

I also used to work in a call centre for a large travel agent many years ago, and we were all quite well versed on the phonetic alphabet. However, one of my friends was taking a booking, and whilst reading out a booking reference;

"So that's V for Victor, Y for Wankey......"
