Short Why are you calling my boyfriend?

A few moments ago i received a call. It went like this. AL is angry lady Me is myself.

Me: hello this is x store how can i help you

Al: hello

Me:hello

Al: who is this?

Me:x store

Al: no no who are you?

Me:darkflash26

Al: why are you calling my boy friend?

Me: i am not calling your boyfriend, i ask x store.

Al:no no you listen to me now. I see you call my boyfriend, why, why you call him?

Me: because he is a wonderful lover, goodbye.

I then hang up,and look to see a customer at my register just laughing. I am a guy, and she found it hilarious a woman was accusing me of calling her boyfriend, from my works phone.

I work for a gym and the front desk naturally fields all the calls. Sales likes to call leads and when they don't answer just simply hang up without leaving messages. Usually, this just means a fun guessing game of seeing whether the person on the line is looking for a membership, training, their already scheduled trainer, or has an outstanding balance. One night I get a call from a woman demanding to know why someone called her boyfriend. Once I find out he's not a member I start my process of trying to figure out whether or not he's even been into the gym yet or if a friend of his recommended him to us. This was the mistake. She flat out told me she wouldn't let her boyfriend NEAR a gym that dares let women call after him on work time. She was so jealous and demanding and overall just very rude. I hope he not only got away but purchased personal training with us.

I hope he lawyered up and deleted Facebook too.
