The Three Funniest Customer Requests: Our All-time Favorites!
Working in customer service, especially in transportation, you think you’ve heard it all. But every now and then, a customer comes along with a request so unique and unexpected that it leaves you chuckling for the rest of the day.
Here, we’ve gathered our top three favorite requests from our daily interactions. These stories not only bring a smile to our faces but remind us of the joy and humor that come with meeting new people every day.
1. The Ex-Honk Request
Imagine driving along your usual route when a passenger politely asks, “Could you please honk really loudly at the next corner?” Confused, you naturally inquire why. The passenger adds, “That’s my ex over there. They should know I’m still around.” This request not only caught us off guard but also made the entire bus burst into laughter!
2. Canine Wi-Fi Needs
In the age of technology, we often anticipate requests for Wi-Fi, but this one took the cake. A concerned passenger inquired, “Does the bus have Wi-Fi for my dog? He likes to watch videos during the trip, or else he gets restless.” While we couldn’t accommodate the furry friend’s streaming habits, the request itself was entertaining enough to brighten our day.
3. Lucky Number Departure
We’re often flexible with our departure times, but this request stood out: “Can we please start our journey at exactly 07:07? It’s my lucky number, and double seven just feels right.” While synchronizing with passenger’s numerology isn’t part of the job description, it certainly sparked a fun conversation on board about lucky numbers and unorthodox superstitions.
These lighthearted moments remind us why we love what we do. It’s those unexpected human interactions that add color to everyday life. We hope these stories brought some joy to your day, as they did to ours.
