We Just Sold Out
I work in local theater, and we have a lot of rude, awful women from the nearby ballet schools come through our venue. Once, this woman rang up wanting seats to an almost sold-out ballet performance that had been on sale for four months the day before the show. It did not go well.
She was positively horrific to me. The seats I was about to sell her were the only ones in the theater left. While I’m on hold, a grandma of one of the ballerinas comes to the desk and asks nicely if we have any seats left, as she’d been in hospital and couldn’t buy them earlier. This awful woman still has me on hold,
So I put the phone down and sold this old lady the last seats for the show. Two minutes after the old lady leaves, the witch on the other end takes me off hold and says she wants the remaining seats, I tell her “Sorry, we’ve just sold out while you had me on hold I’m afraid, better luck next year.” Story credit: Reddit
