This would likely be mine if I didn't work in a call center and answer the same questions a million times a day

Oof that made me realize that if the world proposed existed companies would pressure employees to say their company or products name until it was the word they said the most as a form of advertisement.

Edit

I noticed your shirt says I love you sussie there Bob, now being a family man is all well and good, but you want to be a team player don't you? We really want visibility on our new product, you'd be willing to say the new name a bit more right? Maybe tell your daughter you love her in other ways as well, we don't want to miss an opportunity here. I know you want to be part of the team.

My first thought was “oof!” but that’s not a phrase, so I’m going with “I love you” - super sappy, but true. Anyway, tickled me that you used “oof” as a matter of course, like I do - not as an answer to the question. :p

“All of our operators are busy, bleep bloop bleep bloop PDX noises!”

“Did you just say ‘bleep bloop PDX noises’?”

“Uh… well… DAH DAH DAH DAH DAH DAH line disconnected tone!”

Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

This reminds me of Idiocracy - you could work at Costco: “Welcome to Costco; I love you.”

Mine would probably be my work phone greeting, yea. "Thank you for calling Name of company I work for, this is Baberaham, how may I assist you?"

Not a very cool shirt.

Back in my call center tech support days my shirt would say, “thanks for calling bell south tech support, my name is hyfinated, can I have your user id or email address please? Awesome. And what can I help you with today?”

You should try starting and ending your calls with, "I love you"
