This is a recording of a guy that used to work for me. The background to the story is that he ordered a dining table from a company on ebay, the table arrived and it was damaged. At the time, the guy had only just moved into his house and had no internet connection, so he asked his mate (who owns a telecoms business :naughty:) to get the phone number for the company who supplied the table from ebay for him.

His mate gave him an 0845 number to ring - this number goes directly to the telecoms guy's office.. where he had a member of staff waiting to take the 'complaint'. Perfect!

p.p.s. bad language at the end!

Leigh, thanks for that, so funny, I can't stop giggling like a girl!
 
That's a cracker, put it on in the office and everyone was wetting themselves!
 
the thing is... the guy with the telecoms business must have done 3 or 4 pranks on people in our office over a few months and got every single one of them hook, line and sinker. i'll see if i can find the others.

What cracked me up the most was the way the guy starts off asian and drifts in jamaican half way through :lol:

"It's ebay.... what do you expect?" :lol:
 
Love it! Very funny.:thumbs:

Just reminded me that Face Jacker starts tonight:banana:
 
Could I borrow that sound clip? I want to create it into a funny flash animation like the phone jacker and make it even more funny.

If Leigh agrees, hope you share the result. :cool:
 
Just got the green light from Leigh, I can make it look like south park kind of animation and add extra things to it to spice up the humor. I will of course post it up when finished.
 
Absolutely brilliant!!!

The "***** happens" comment was a classic, if anyone ever said that to me about a purchase I'd go frickin' nuts :lol:

No, I thought about that before posting. It's 3 or 4 years ago and it was a rented house.

I thought that was hilarious!

Really funny clip Leigh, thanks for sharing :thumbs:
 
glad you liked it... i'm trying to find the 'JD Sports damaged squash racquet complaint' and the 'we've doubled booked your hotel room sir' calls. Both classics!
