when you're reading out a string of letters for a person, and you start using words (Whisky = W, Foxtrot = F), start using obnoxiously long words

B: Bicentennial
P: Penitentiary
F: Fraternize
M: Melodramatic
N: Nefariously

etc...

It must be you I talk to on the phone with alarming regularity!

My wife's surname is "Hafkin" and for some reason when saying that over the phone people invariably miss the "f". They always think we're saying "s", so we get crap addressed to Ms. Haskin. So we started saying "f, as in Foxtrot".

That didn't work; apparently people thought we were saying "Soxtrot" ?!?!?

One time I tried "f, as in Frank."
Reply: "Okay, H-A-S-K-I-N"
Me: "No, H-A-F, f as in Frank. Like Frank Sinatra"
Reply: "That's what I said, H-A-S-K-I-N"
Me: "F! F as in Frank, Frank Sinatra!"
Reply: "Sinatra starts with an S."

No joke...

16. Staple pages in the middle of the page.

Better yet, staple a blank page into a report/rfp/proposal/contract (make sure all the other pages are properly numbered in sequence). It frustrates those who read the document, and it helps you find out who actually read the document because they'll call and ask what's missing! Works great for documents with timelines/deadlines, since anyone who finds the blank page can't say they didn't read the doc. :thumb:

Offshore support / Bad Customer service fun

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ive been dealing with some companies that have fradulently charged my debit card. I like to call them up to see what I "bought" and get information for the attorney general report.

They always ask for my name, and then want me to spell it. So, since they already made my life tough with thier scams, I am making it tough for people with silent letters and homonyms. The ones in red, I don’t have a substitute, so I used the correct NATO letter, just to add some credibility. Thanks for the ideas.


Example:

My name is Michael,
M as in mnemonic, I as in Isle, C as in Cyanide, H as in Heir, A as in Air, E as in Err, and L as in Lima.

A. Accept, Air, Aisle, aught, awed
B. Bravo (could use Brain)
C. Cyanide, cedar, cede, cue
D. Delta (could use Drain)
E. Except, Ensure, Err, Earn
F. Foie Gras, flocks, file
G. Gnome, gnawned
H. Heir
I. Insure, Isle
J. Julio
K. Knight
L. Lima
M. Mnemonic
N. Nash, Nod
O. Ought, odd
P. Phone, Phlox, Phial
Q. Quay, queue
R. Rap
S. Seeder, seed
T. Tsunami
U. Urn
V. Victor
W. Wrap
X. Xeriscaping
Y. You
Z. Zulu

5. Stomp on little plastic ketchup packets.

I've done this twice actually. My appartment looked like a crime scene.

The other time was as a kid. I was squeezing the bottom while opening it. Got myself up the nose.
