Since they closed my department at TNI (the noni juice company), I was moved back to the call center, which is where I started anyway. Because it has been over one year since I was last at the call center, they put me on the "basic" order line, which is relaxed and nice. And even though we try to be professional at all time, sometimes you just have to laugh at the crazy questions you get...
First... Is my name that hard to understand and say???? When I started there I wanted to be more official, and my first name is hard to pronounce, so I went with my middle name - Cyntia (pronounced Cynthia, why not?!). Most people eventually learn to call me Kika though, but here is how I answer the phones there:
Me: Thank you for calling Tahitian Noni International, my name is CYNTIA, how can I help you today?
Caller: Michelle?
Me: Cyntia!
Caller: Oh ok, Michelle?
Me: No, CYNTIA as in C--Y--N--T--I--A!!
Caller: Alright, MICHELLE, I want to place an order...
At which point I give up and pretend to be Michelle. Place the order. Call closes like this:
Me: Well Thank you for calling TNI, have a great day.
Caller: Thanks, Michelle!
OR
Me: Thank you for calling Tahitian Noni International, my name is CYNTIA, how can I help you today?
Caller: Seen-djyah?
Me: CYNTIA!
Caller: Sin-tcha?
Me: No, CYNTIA, as in C--Y--N--T--I--A!
Caller: Ah ok, Tintee-a?
Me: Yes, sure, Tinteea... how can I help you today?
Or we can have fun with random questions:
Me: Thank you for calling Tahitian Noni International, my name is CYNTIA, how can I help you today?
Caller: I want to buy the diapers!
Me: Excuse me??
Caller: DIAPERS! I need to buy them diapers!!
Me: Mam, we are the noni juice company, we sell health products but no diapers.
Caller: Oh really? Ok... (clic)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Me: Thank you for calling Tahitian Noni International, my name is CYNTIA, how can I help you today?
Caller: I have a question about noni tea... will it make my wife's uterus grow back?
Me: Your wife's what???
Caller: My wife... she had surgery and removed her uterus, but she wants to have babies now, I heard noni tea is good for that.
Me: Sir, your wife should definitelly consult a physician about this, it's a medical issue, she's better off talking with a doctor...
Caller: But will the noni tea help?
Me: I am afraid not, sir, I don't know ANY tea that makes a body organ "grow back".
Caller: well that SUCKS!
Me: I'm sorry.
(clic)
Calls like these make me think it's really one of the founders, just bored on the third floor, having some fun teasing us, poor call center agents. I mean... uterus grow back... really? Can't be real! Or can it??
When was the last time YOUR j.o.b. made you laugh?

i could have sworn i heard that the tea would help my uterus grow back, oh well. Should have kept it in there. When do i get my sample?
I have learned to never underestimate the stupidity of the human race.

The uterus call TAKES THE CAKE! Sheesh! Since I work at a doctor's office, I get some pretty good ones, too but so far that one takes them all.
uterus growing back????? Definitely a prank call.
Maybe you should try the English pronunciation of Cynthia. I go by an American nickname or my real name pronounced in English. Loved to hear about the phone calls. Beijinhos.
Hi! Funny post. I like it. :)

I haven't laughed that hard in a while...hilarious. But you really have to wonder...if he really thought noni would "grow back" a uterus, do we want him reproducing???? (c:
Oh the memories...
