My first call of the day:
"Yes, I was just calling to check on my account. I need to find out how much I'm in the rear."
Now how the hell am I supposed to take a call like that without laughing out loud?? Naturally I responded quite professionally with the standard security questions and then telling him his account balance. All the while I was chewing on the inside of my cheek to hold back the oneliners:
"Every Saturday night when you've had a bottle of whiskey?"
"Sir, I know the overdraft fees are steep, but it's not THAT bad. Would it help if we buy you dinner first?"
"I'd say about up to your pubes."
"If you have to ask, you're not doing it right."
