In reply to the discussion: OMG OMG I JUST WON 13 MILLION DOLLARS AND A RANGE ROVER!!!! [View all]TlalocW
(15,647 posts)38. I like keeping them on the line too. My best is 30 minutes
I had a fake credit card in my wallet (magazine insert) so I could keep the numbers straight so when it failed the first time, I could say, "Oh, I mixed up two numbers." Failed again, "Oh, those are worn-down 8s not 0s," etc. Normally they figure out I'm messing with them, curse me out and hang up, but this guy got his "manager" to see if he could figure me out.
Manager: Hello, am I speaking to the cardholder?
Me: Yes.
Manager: And what is the last name on the card?
Me: Keyface
Manager: Thank you, Mr. Keyface. And the first name?
Me: Don.
Manager: So I'm speaking with Mr. Don Keyface?
Me: Yes.
Cue 10 seconds of silence followed by cursing me out, and me making fun of them for wasting so much time on me.
