The Greatest Phone Conversation OF ALL TIME
So my office within the past year moved into a new building and with that had to completely revamp our phone systems. In the 6 or so months that we have been working with these new phones - I will pick up a line to dial out and there will be another conversation going on, however no one from our office is in on the conversation. In the 3 times that this has happened to me it has all been conversations b/w associates of ours at other companies - I can hear them but they cant hear me. Before today all I heard was random talking about various office stuff and then 10 seconds later it disconnected.
Well today I picked up line 6 to call a colleague and was the third party to a "party line-ish" phone call involving 2 people that did not work for our company or any other company we do work with. After hearing it, I immediately typed it into Word (which was open on my desktop) because I figured no one would believe me. Below is that conversation, while no names were heard - I decided to imagine what their names would be to make it easier for the reader:
Pearcy : Effeminate black male
Kris : Wimpy sounding white male
Pearcy: I just felt it and it hurt.
Kris: What did?
P: The bump on my butt, it hurts.
K: Don't worry, it will be gone. Gone by the time I get home today.
P: I hope so, cause it hurts. I touched it.
K: Yeah it will, dont worry.
P: Cause yeah - I felt the hair.
K: The hair on the bump?
P: Yeah, the hair that was on the bump.
