This Guy Shared The Weirdest Thing He’s Seen At A Client’s House And It’s Hard Not To Laugh At It
Working in customer service, you never know who, or what you are gonna meet next. A good example of this is a recent reddit thread where someone asked, “People who enter homes for a living (Maintenance, cable contractors, etc), what’s the strangest thing you’ve encountered when entering someone’s home?” The topic has already received nearly 10,500 upvotes and while most of the responses are incredibly intriguing, one stands out from the rest.
It’s by a computer technician and involves a parrot, a toy train, and… You have to read it to believe it.
“Stories like the one I wrote were definitely highlights of my career as an on-call computer tech, but there are equally as many horror stories,” the guy who wanted to remain anonymous told Bored Panda. “Looking back, I’d say that it was a decent college gig, but ultimately not something I’d want to do as a career.”
His first impression of the client was a positive one. “He was a pretty good-natured guy, in his early 70s and in decent shape for his age. I only visited him twice – both times to remove viruses (back then, old people on the internet attracted viruses like bugs to lights). Both times I was there he was pretty cool to me, but we didn’t have all that much conversation outside of talking about his bird, and fixing his computer.”
“When you work in a job that has you going into random people’s homes, you’re bound to have interesting experiences, and you eventually learn to just roll with it,” the guy concluded.
Sometimes, life truly is stranger than fiction. (Facebook cover image: John)
Recently, a computer technician told his most memorable client story, proving that working with them directly isn’t always as dreadful as you’d think

People instantly started laughing their socks off
Hahah I don't blame the guy for saying it was super surreal :D But I am also glad that the owners thought so much of their pet and enbled him moving around :D Wonder how long they had to tell the parrot "Choo choo m**o" before it started repeating it
I don't think they taught him to say it. He probably learned the words separately and put them together. Birds are very intelligent.

people in my class are staring at me now as I just spit out my water and started laughing.

Totally hilarious! Thank you for not making us sort through the scary c**p (literally) on the reddit thread to find this!
Birds are amazing. I have a parakeet that literally laughs when my kids trash talk each other. I have a green cheek that will roll over on to his back and bite his feet like a baby and yell at you if you don't give him belly scratches. They are hilarious.
I am supposed to be quietly studying in my office for my comps and all of a sudden I read "Choo Choo MutherF*cker" and I am instantly laughing very loudly repeating it.....
me too - cant get it out of my head - to quote pete waterman and kylie minogue

I got a couple of winners from when I worked for a company that repaired home fitness equipment. This one speaks for itself. 00051639-3...98640d.jpg 
I found this one in a basement. It still scares the bejeezus out of me. 00051158-a...064166.jpg 
This is the second post on BP that I've read today which included the phrase "choo choo motherf*cker". Interesting to say the least haha
Get some video, could be the hottest parrot on Internet, plus could help the old homey get some credit yo!
I cant stop laughing! How brilliant! I wish he made a video of this!!!
lol that's awesome! Love that they put in the work to make the bird so happy <3
Dont invite people into your house without ensuring they know what they may be coming into . i regularly looked after the neighbours cats - one time I came round - as arranged -fed them - played with them, cleaned up the unexpected mess in the kitchen - Checked upstairs to ensure they hadnt been sick etc. only to find the male neighbour snoring his head off in the spare bedroom.had come back early from his stag weekend. Never ran so fast
I always wanted a Macaw any Macaw - a Hyacinth Macaw but after 2 failed attempts with an African Gray we gave up - PS the African Greys were given back to their original breders - "tame and talking" does not fit the descripion when you have to crawl on your hands and knees in your own living room in order to not annoy it
Most people that want to spy on other people’s mobile phones don’t usually have access to the phones so the best bet is usually to hire a professional since most of these spy software still require having to install something on the target’s phone. I was able to hack my ex’s phone with the help of Walter the expert I hired online. If you ever need to hack a mobile phone, email or social media or any other service you need a hacker (go search for it online for waltercyberwizard . com) if you can’t have physical access to the device God bless.
"a closet full of gay porn"... would it had made the list if it had been straight porn?
Just saw Hitmans Bodyguard. I can totally hear that in the voice of Samuel L Jackson! Hahaha
I laughed with glee @ the thought of dat crazy bird! Choo Choo m**o, indeed! F*****g luv it!
But not with the birth defects... I mean if my bird had that I would definitely make a train for him or her!
