Sitting in the callcentre, taking premium rate calls
Me and a gal called Sian were taking calls on a premium rate support line. Now doing this involves being completely focused upon the customer and sticking to certain regulations (I believe they are called ICSTIS), so for example we cannot put customers on hold or talk about anything other than what service we provide (nothing offtopic etc). Also putting on a sex voice for a call to do with fixing computers was frowned upon, so it was meant to be regarded as doing our job seriously.

Had been a busy evening and we are hammering away at the calls when this largish girl walks past our desk towards a break area. As she walks by she suddenly stands perfectly vertical still and litterally falls face first like a domino straight on the floor beside us. As me and Sian are both on calls we are not allowed to say or do anything about it, so we continue on the calls while flapping our arms to get the manager's attention to help the poor girl up.

After some help arrives, she's back on her feet and somehow still smiling. She says to me and Sian and quickly says "I sometimes get a trapped nerve in my back and my spine locks up; same thing happened to me in Tescos last night" and she stumbles away.

As soon as she walked out of earshot I cupped my hands together over me mouth and said in a tinny voice to Sian "SPILLAGE ON AISLE 4 PLEASE, WE HAVE A SPILLAGE ON AISLE 4!"

That was to become her nickname from now on, Spillage Girl. And everytime she walked near Sian, Sian would look away from her and laugh like hell. Poor nerve Tescos cow.
