Oh my...


I helped a nice young couple tonight, over the phone. They were haing trouble ordering some sort of boxing event on pay-per-view, and I was fixing it from the Comcast end. As I was sending signals to the cable box and checking all the billing stuff, the lady started moaning.

And the guy started moaning.

And there was a sound much like someone eating a VERY juicy orange.

I excused myself and asked if I could put them on hold for a few moments, and the lady said Ohhhhhhhhh yes, so I put them on hold.

Came back a few minutes later to a a very rythmic moaning of both the lady and the guy, very obviously in the throes of passion. "Wait, wait, wait... he's back! Ohhhhhhhhhhgawd...."

And of course I acted as though nothing had happened, and thanked them for holding, and went on with the trouble shooting of the problem.

I have to wonder... I mean, I *know* I do a darned fine job of helping the fine folks of this State with their internet and cable television problems. But am I really *that good* to inspire spontaneous marital relations? And what type of person seesthis situation and says "Oh honey, I am SO turned on by the way you're giving that guy on the phone all your account information! I MUST HAVE YOU!!!"

Sending signals to the cable box, eh? ;)

Okay, THAT sounds dirty when taken out of context! Maybe that's what did it? I did tell her "I'm gonna send a few hits to your cable box, let me know if anything happens..."

Oh yeah. SOMETHING happened :)

My ex (the one who worked for Comcast in Auburn but now lives in Phoenix and works for Cox and we're not dating anymore) used to joke with me about that when I was having all the problems with my cable in my current apartment. There's a break in the actual line. So before I knew that was the problem, the technician and his helper buddy were sitting in my bedroom (where the only cable thing is) and trying to figure out what's wrong. I was on the phone with my ex, and he just kept hearing them say charming things like, "Hm. Send a hit to her box." and "I've got my hand all the way up there - I don't know why it's not responding".

Dirty.


Dirty!!!

I've had that before. Also, when we used to have to say our whole names, had someone look up my name in the phone book and call me at home and try to get me to 'talk' to them again because they thought I had the most incredible voice. I get that a lot, people telling me I should be a phone sex operator. Also had a lady call and ask me, "what are the different porn shows you have, and what are those about, what was that one, can you describe what they do on that show, what is that, can you repeat that, oh yeah, just say that again, tell me more, more, one more time, whew, okay, don't need to order anything, thanks, you've been a great help." and hung up. I ~have~ worked for cable way too long...
