    They Walk Among Us

    Some guy bought a new fridge for his house. To get rid of his old fridge, he
    put it in his front yard and hung a sign on it saying: "Free to good home.
    You want it, you take it." For three days the fridge sat there without even
    one person looking twice at it. He eventually decided that people were too
    un-trusting of this deal. It looked to good to be true, so he changed the
    sign to read: "Fridge for sale $50." The next day someone stole it.
    Caution... They Walk Among Us

    While looking at a house, my brother asked the real estate agent which
    direction was north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun waking him
    up every morning. She asked, "Does the sun rise in the north?" When my
    brother explained that the sun rises in the east, and has for sometime, she
    shook her head and said, "Oh, I don't keep up with that stuff." They
    Walk Among Us!

    I used to work in technical support for a 24/7 call center. One day I got a
    call from an individual who asked what hours the call center was open. I
    told him, "The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day,7 days a week." He
    responded, "Is that Eastern or Pacific time?" Wanting to end the call
    quickly, I said, "Uh, Pacific" They Walk Among Us!

    My colleague and I were eating our lunch in our cafeteria, when we overheard
    one of the administrative assistants talking about the sunburn she got on
    her weekend drive to the shore. She drove down in a convertible, but "didn't
    think she'd get sunburned because the car was moving". . They Walk Among Us!

    My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car it's designed to cut through a
    seat belt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the trunk... They Walk
    Among Us!

    My friends and I were on a beer run and noticed that the cases were
    discounted 10%. Since it was a big party, we bought 2 cases. The cashier
    multiplied 2 times 10% and gave us a 20% discount.... They Walk Among Us!

    I was hanging out with a friend when we saw a woman with a nose ring
    attached to an earring by a chain. My friend said, "Wouldn't the chain rip
    out every time she turned her head?" I explained that a person's nose and
    ear remain the same distance apart no matter which way the head is turned...
    They Walk Among Us!

    I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area. So I went to the
    lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never showed up.
    She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained professional
    and I was in good hands. "Now," she asked me, "has your plane arrived
    yet?"... They Walk Among Us!

    While working at a pizza parlor I observed a man ordering a small pizza to
    go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he would like it cut
    into 4 pieces or 6. He thought about it for some time before responding.
    "Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat 6 pieces.
    Yep, They Walk Among Us, too.

    They walk among us, AND reproduce.

    SCARY isn't it?

    "I will try again tomorrow".

    Is this the person to whom I am speaking?

    Kitsune06 "They walk among us, reproduce, and have like 6 kids. :eek" all of which Tri_girl has to teach, they vote but more important to us TE gals.....they drive

    True call: one day at the phone company customer calls says he's feels sure that his call return service (that's *69 to you) does not work.

    So I ask him what's wrong with it.

    He feels he should not have to pay for it because of course it would never work, there are too few numbers in S-T-A-R-6-9.

    ==============
    This call happens more often than you think:
    "I'm calling to move my phone service"
    "I'd be happy to help you with that, can I get your new addres?"
    "It's POB 1234, the zip code's the same"
    "You'll be moving to a Post office box?...."
    "yes"
    "alrighty, do you need any inside wire work done inside the PO box?"
    ...then he gets it...

    ====================
    Customer calls about her DSL it's not working, normally that's a quick transfer to tech support but their TTY line is busy so I offer to help.

    Ask her what's wrong, it won't connect.
    What type of modem do you use? She asks me to wait...

    Comes back "it's a super speedy model xyz"
    Fine ok, the lights on the top how many are there and are they all green, yellow or red?
    She asks me to wait.

    Comes back, there are three lights and they are all blank.
    "blank?" I say.

    "Yes blank" So i begin to describe how to to a hard boot...restart the computer turn off the modem... "wait" she says....

    "You mean I have to take the modem out of the box to have DSL?"

    and they have phone service and computers.
