Has anyone ever recived a phone call from the NWA?
I can explain. Working in a call center dealing with cold dialing to conduct surveys is not fun. around 99% of all calls end in less than 3 seconds, so its easy to get v. bored. Unfortunately headphones were banned by the management under pain of gross misconduct. A group of girls there defied the ban to see how loud they dared to listen to Alanis Morrisette, with thier fingers on the pause button should someone pick up.

One of the lads there who sat next to them wanted to join in. But made two mistakes, one hiding his earpiece behind his headset mike. And two his choice of music.

If you ever got a phone call that whent some thing like.."FUCK,FUCK THE PO-LICE, ahh.... errm shit. sorry. *click*"

Its because the numpty forgot the important bit about the pause button. He escaped the sack but everyone got a memo about 'offensive ringtones in the workplace'

I used to be manager of a toy shop. Got a telling off from the area manager for playing Tool very loudly over the speakers. Apparently little kids dont like to listen to Tool...
