I was temping for a solicitor who had a Chinese client by the name of Mr Fucke!
It tends to have been my sister who worked call centre jobs rather than myself, but she did tell me that, whilst working for the Wine Society, one of the names on her list was for a Major Bustard...and another for a very old lady who was genuinely called Fanny Tickler.
The job I would love to move away from is that of solicitor but I still have to go to court. On Saturday I had a Chinese named Fuqing Wang. The magistrate declined to pronounce his name (actually pronounced Fooching). One of my first Chinese clients was a Mr Fok.
The best combination of names and circumstances came when I attended the Crown Court to make a bail application one Christmas Eve. Of the 3 defendants making applications on that day the only one who succeeded was Mr Christmas represented by Mr Carol. Charles Dickens couldn't have made it up.
Today there was someone with the name Herman Wancke (wanker). The caller refused to phone him for fear of laughing.
The best customer names I've come across are -
Deepa Toufanny
Mr Biggadicke
Holly Wood
Also, whilst taking a phone order, I've asked a customer "What card are you using?" and they've replied "An Audi A4."
Oh and I've dealt with a customer email that went along the lines of...
"hello am interested in buyin a drivin xperience 4my boyf or sumthin fast like a furrari or lambokini or anyfin, can u giv me sum prices n call me on 07XXX XXXXXX thx alot"
...all written in the title of the email!!! And finally, I had a customer complaint about an afternoon tea experience and the size of the finger sandwiches (1" x 3") and how it was against trading standards?!? You've got to love customer services and the general public :o/
I just love this skit!! LEGZ AKIMBO!

Excellent League again!
I came to terms with the fact that the general population is irretrievably stupid ages ago....
The one I always mention is the plumber in Buxton who has had to go through life with the name Paul Mycock which can easily be misheard on an introduction.
Guys, let's keep this going! You never know- there may be a comedy sketch in it!
I had a Mrs. Cock the other day. Anything to get you through!
OAP 1: Do you know Margaret? "Mrs Cock."
OAP 2: I'm sure she does.
At the risk of sounding especially thick- I don't get it, Nigel.
the first oap asks about margaret and repeated her name as mrs in case the second oap knows her only by surname and the second oap hears "Do you know margaret misses cock" so she says
I'm sure she does
that's me off the script writing panel then :-)
