Hey Pandas, What's The Most Ridiculous Thing That's Ever Happened To You?
On April Fool's Day, 7th grade I broke my arm during PE. The Phys Ed teacher laughed her @55 off. She thought it was funny. The school had a tough time getting a parent to pick me up. What made it worse, my sister had a broken leg. She was convinced I'd broke my arm on purpose, forcing me to do her chores for the same time I had my cast on...after it was removed.Show All 24 Upvotes

Hey Pandas, What's The Most Ridiculous Thing That's Ever Happened To You?
Let me start by saying I was NOT an ideal student. I have wrestled with a lifelong procrastination issue, and in school it resulted in late/missing homework, poor test scores, and lots of embarrassment on my part. In biology class in 10th grade, we took a test, and everybody bombed. The morning after the test, Mrs. DePasquale stood at the front of the classroom and positively REAMED everyone, scolding us on our obviously poor study habits, attention lapses, and general disdain for everything biology. Then, once she finished she asked me and a fellow student to stand up and follow her out of the main classroom into a supply closet. I thought, "Oh boy, I REALLY screwed this one up." To my surprise, she calmly and sweetly informed the two of us that she "wasn't referring to us" in her speech about the test, because we had obviously gone above and beyond in our scholarly efforts to grasp the admittedly difficult concepts of biology (we both aced it). She even apologized for her oration to the whole class, and I'm pretty sure she would have hugged us if we were in a different setting. I had to scoop my jaw up off of the floor and thankfully avoided asking, "You sure you have the right student?"Hey Pandas, What's A Positive Customer Assistance Experience You Have Encountered?
Sometimes Amazon Customer Service can be surprising. I WFH and attend calls pretty often. My boss advised me my headset mic was bad and told me to have a wireless model ordered through Corp provisioning. Turns out everything through the vendor was on backorder. I found an acceptable headset through Amazon, with a reasonable price after using promotional credit. After I ordered, I saw delivery would take weeks. There was another model which would deliver sooner...I didn't want to lose my credit though. I called Amazon just trying to get the promotional credit back. As the original order was for a used headset, the rep credited me enough to purchase a shiny new headset. I'm so grateful. It still works beautifully. BTW, the corporate replacement arrived 9 mos laterHey Pandas, What's A Positive Customer Assistance Experience You Have Encountered?
I was traveling to a conference and, being nearly blind, rely on public transit. Under normal circumstances to reach my destination I would take a train to a subway to a streetcar, which is not terribly difficult. At this particular time, though, the streetcar service was interrupted in the middle and buses were substituted for a large portion of the route. Thankfully, a great transit employee guided me from the streetcar to the bus two blocks distant. While waiting for that bus, another transit employee found another passenger to stand with me and declared to all the waiting people that nobody would board the next bus until I did and was seated. Once on the bus, the driver helped me find a seat near him. It was more help than I probably needed and I was so impressed I wrote a letter to the transit agency to let them what a great experience those amazing employees provided.Hey Pandas, What's A Positive Customer Assistance Experience You Have Encountered?
It's a little thing, but it made my day. At the end of a long, awful week at work and a day with no time for lunch, I stopped at a Burger King drive-thru on my way home. The woman who gave me my food looked at me and asked if I would like a Burger King crown. My smile said it all as I said "Yes, please!". I felt like I was a kid again as I wore that crown all the way home. (and, yes, I told her that she had made my day ever so much better!)Show All 13 Upvotes
