Customer call sneezes

[BurgundyJayne]

I'm a receptionist, and I often get great observations in my lobby, but today's was on the phone.

I answered in my usual "Thank you for calling 'company name' , this is' BurgundyJayne', how may I direct your call?" And even as I was speaking my greeting, the caller was in the midst of an allergy fit. So I'm sitting at my desk on the phone listening to "heeeYASHEEOooo, hih hih hur-ASCHUH, oh God I'bm so sorry, heeeeeAAASCHHOO"" Sniffle, throat clearing right in my ear.

I respond with "bless you!"

He continues "I'm so sorry about that" and makes it through two sentences before he desperately says "excuse me again" and pulls the phone away, sneezing twice "heeeeASCHOOO! HeeeeASCHOO"

I bless him again.

He makes it through one more sentence and breaks off and sneezes once. Then says "it's like attack of the sneezes" and sneezes three more times."heeeeeeASCHOO! HEEEESchoo! HURASCHOO!"

He sniffs wetly and says "so sorry. Allergies suck." I blessed him again and we finished the call.

I was dead, I tell you. Dead. Nearly useless for about five minutes after that call.

Im still just all fuzzy headed and goggle eyed and cannot stop replaying it in my head.

Whew!

OH MY GOSH BURGANDYJANE xDD That sounds like such an wonderful phone-call, but probably a little unfortunate to have in the middle of work LOL. I would have been totally useless too xDD. I have a huge soft-spot for people who get extremely bashful about their sneezing, and try to apologize through it, so that ob made my day, hahaha~!

Then says "it's like attack of the sneezes" and sneezes three more times

Also, this made me simultaneously laugh and become overwhelmed by cuteness. Poor man!

Thank you for sharing!

Whew indeed. Something awesome about phone sneezes from strangers... if they have a nice sneeze you can imagine away as to what they look like. That, and they can't see you staring

O gosh, DREAM. I would've asked him for his number. LOL
