My partner works in a local authority call centre where he takes a lot of abuse from tenants about repairs to property. Some days he has some absolute gems to deal with, like the woman who called to complain about*poo* in her back passage. Last week a man told my partner that it was the responsibility of the council to replace his knob as it wasn't big enough*lol* and only yesterday he came home still giggling about a woman who demanded that a "man come round immediately to see to give her daughter some attention"I suggested to him that he make a note of all these as they are so funny, but it did make me wonder how many of us actually stop to think before we speak, especially in telephone conversations.
Have any of you ever unwittingly uttered a double-entendre? I'd love to hear them - LOL

I have worked in the customer service field for most of my working life and have to admit that people really do say some incredibly stupid (and funny) things.
For example, and this is one of my favorites, take the guy who called a hardware store wanting to know how much "post holes" were. I would think that either the guy wanted "post hole diggers" or he watched too many episode of the "Roadrunner" cartoon.

I forgot to add my favorite sayings regarding uncontrolable tongues: "Looks like they got their mouth in first and brain in neutral." and "They got their eye tooth covered so they can't see what they are saying."

I've been very well known in the past to only open my mouth so that I can change feet. I used to do this all the time...ie say something that could be taken two ways. I can't remember anything precisely that i said, only that i would be blushing and embarrassed while everyone else was rolling on the floor...laughing their heads off.

LOL I'm equally guilty on occasion hun. Jay came home this evening and told me about a woman who asked him if he could clear her sink with his tool. Poor bloke was killing himself laughing while trying to explain to her that she needed a plumber.
