The following are actual stories provided by travel agents - Here in the US.
I had someone ask for an aisle seat so that their hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window.
I got a call from a woman who wanted to go to Capetown. I started to explain the lenght of the flight and passport information then she interrupted me with, " I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Capetown is in Massachusetts." Without trying to make her look like the stupid one, I calmly explained, "Capecod is in Massachusetts, Capetown is in Africa." her response .... click.
A man called, furious about Florida package we did. I asked what was wrong with the vacation in Orlando. He said he was expecting an Ocean-view room. I tried to explain that is not possible, Since Orlando is in the middle of the state. He replied, "Don't lie to me. I looked on the map, and Florida is a very thin state".
I got a call from from a man who asked, "is it possible to see England from Canada?" I said, "No." He said, "But they look so close on the map.
Another man called and asked if he could rent a car in Dallas. When I pulled up the reservation, I noticed he had a 1 - hour lay over in Dallas.
When I asked him why he wanted a rental car, he said, "I heard Dallas was a big airport, and I needed a car to drive between gates to save time.
A nice lady just called. She needed to know how it was possible that her flight from Detroit left at 8:20am and got into Chicago at 8:33am. I tried to explain that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois, but she could not understand the concept of time zones. Finally I told her the plane went very fast, and she bought that!
Another woman called and asked, "Do airlines put physical description on your bag so they know who's lugguage belongs to who?" I said, "No, why do you ask?" She replied, "Well, when I checked in with the Airline, they put a tag on my lugguage that said FAT, and I am overweight, is there a connection?" After putting her on hold for a minute while I "looked into it" ( I was actually laughing) I came back and explained the city code for Fresno is FAT, and that the airline was just putting a destination tag on her lugguage.
A client called in inquiring about a package to Hawaii. After going over all cost info, she asked, "Would it be cheaper to fly to California and then take train to Hawaii?"
I just got off the phone with a man who asked, "How do I know which plane to get on?" I asked him what exactly he meant, which he replied, " I was told my flight number is 823, but none of these darn planes have numbers on them."
A woman called and said, "I need to fly to Pepsi Cola on one of those computer planes. " I asked her if she meant to fly to Pensacola on a commuter plane. She said, "Yeah, whatever."
A business man called and had a question about documents he needed inorder to fly to China. After lenghty discussion about passports, I reminded him that he needed a visa. "Oh no I don't, I've been to China many times and never had to have one of those". I double checked and sure enough, his stay required a visa. When I told him this he said, "Look, I have been to China four times and everytime they accepted my American Express."
A woman called to make a reservations, "I want to go from Chicago to Hippopotamus, New York" The agent was at a loss for words.
Finally, the agent asked "are you sure that's the name of the town?" "Yes, what flights do you have?" replied the customer. After some searching, the agent came back with,"I'm sorry, ma'am, I've looked up every airport code in the country and can't find a Hippopotamus anywhere." The customer retorted, "Oh don't be silly. Everyone knows where it is. Check your map!" The agent scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered, "You don't mean Buffalo do you?" "That's it! I knew it was a big animal!!! |

Iskawarama! (
And now i'm going to continue in english)
anon, thanks for your jokes. They really were funny. Me and my cousin have had some bad experience with the other so called jokes. The first time we logged into the humor page, we were really excited to read the oldtime stories. BUT NO! We never knew that they wolud be so pervers. The sad thing was that we haven't heard that kind of stuff in somalish. And we really got very dissapointed. We appreciate that there are other people with their sences left.Thanks again anon.
PS. Next time, please could you try to write them in somalish? I'm trying to improve my somali-
language, Arraweelo.
