Down the pub last night (Saturday, not Sunday) a bloke who used to work there, and can be a bit of a pain, phoned the place up (after closing time) hooting about wanting to pop in for a late drink.
The girlies on the staff had kept relaying the manager's message that he wasn't welcome, but he just kept ringing back.
Anyway... I'd gone for a wazz before finishing the remains of my pint, and as I headed back the phone started going again. The manager, by now sitting down in the hope of relaxing for a few minutes before they (the staff) all headed up town to go clubbing, shouted "<insert name>, answer that phone and tell him to fsck off!"
Popping behind the bar, I picked up the phone:
[Me]: "Hello, Hong Kong Takeaway!"
[DH]: "Oh right, yeah, course it is, yeah, I want to order a pizza!"
[Me]: "Hello, Hong Kong Takeaway! We don't do pizza! OK, Bye!"
[Me]: <hangs up>
He didn't call back - possibly because my Chinese-accent-mimicry is based on how Anglicised Chinese people speak, rather than on racist stereotypesLast edited by NickFitz; 22 September 2008, 01:36.Comment

Meanwhile, back in the spam folder, somebody who pretends to be from eBay (but isn't) writes...
