Same. Same in call centres too. Did some fun stuff like getting colleagues to say a word you have to work into the next call like “spoon” which is easy with a little “good afterspoon”. Or doing dumb shit like pretending we had Tourette’s.

Damn that's hilarious- I wish I knew about that game when I worked at a call center!

My favorite when I worked drive thru was pretending to be a robot/prerecorded message. I'd put on my announcer voice- like Stamets level shit- to greet them, and then say "to place an order, press 1" but there was no keypad, so they would just say "uh...one?" And then I'd be like "para español, marque dos"

Am I mistaken in assuming that most of Lemmy's long-standing users have heard at least one of your voice recordings?

[-] Stamets@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Probably. I've only posted it a couple times and deep in comment chains usually lol

I always cheated at that one and pretended someone had asked me a question next to me. Or that I had misheard them.

"Oh yeah you can have my spoon sorry about that it's crazy here anyway..."

Or "I'm sorry WHAT about a dragonfly?"

My favorite was finding new ways to accuse chiropractors of fraud.

"Oh yeah it looks like you had the wrong diagnosis code in there, see this is for kidney failure. Haha I know you're just a chiropractor and you're not trying to treat the kidneys DOCTOR." Really lay it on thick with the doctor, because if the chiropractor is calling himself he's almost guaranteed to be one of the pricks that insists he's a real doctor and not a street magician with a degree.
