Very funny joke played on my neighbor by my hubby.
We lost cable for a little while and so our phones were down too. Hubby called our neighbor across the road using his cell phone to her cell phone to ask her if her cable was out also. Well she had just called Comcast and tried to report the outage. She had to wait for them to call her back and when the phone rang from my hubby she thought it was Comcast so she immediately started telling him her service was down and when would it be back. So hubby seeing this as an appropriate time to have some fun changed his voice to an accent like a person from India or China...............sounded more Chinese to me when he showed me how he talked. So he said to her Sorry, no internet, no tv, no phone for 3 weeks in his funny accent. She replied...........that can't be! He said........oh yes, very true, no phone, no internet, no tv for 3 weeks. She says who are you? He says..........I am Comcast tech. She says can I speak w/ your manager? He says oh no you speak to me, no manager can you speak to. So sorry lady, no internet, tv or phone for two weeks..............I go now and he hung up,lol!
I was cracking up w/ tears running down my face as he told me all this in his hilarious accent!
Well she called Comcast back and told them someone at their company was trying to scam her, gave them the whole story on the conversation between her and my hubby and she gave them my hubby's cell phone #. They said they would check on that and call her back. My hubby tried to call the neighbor back to tell her it was him but she was not answering her phone so he went over there to tell her it was a joke. After he told her it was a joke the lady from Comcast called the neighbor back and neighbor told her it was my hubby that had called and pranked her...............................the Comcast lady could not stop laughing! I still laugh when I think of it and when I talk to the neighbor now I tell her...........No tv, no internet, and no phone for 3 weeks..........
