So hear I am, reading my daily blogs from all the wonderful members of Active Rain, and after reading I value my job too much to lie....that much from Ann Guy it prompted me to start thinking about all those weird and even funny applications that I have taken over the years. Now I know this is a little off topic from your post Ann, but funny none the less.
About three years ago, I was taking an application over the phone from a military branch of our country that I will not mention and a Sergeant in the branch, which I will also not mention. Now, I could tell that I was talking with someone on a cell phone with all the background noise but this application was going just fine at this point. Then things got weird, I asked him for his bank information and then I heard a noise in which I will never forget. To give you guys an idea, you hear this noise a few times a day depending how much water you drink. If you haven't caught on, he was relieving him self of his liquids his body produced up till that time in the day. I was already speechless and things just got better from there as he stated talking to someone next to him in the neighbor stall, I heard him say that he was trying to get a VA home loan and was doing an application this very second. All I could do is put the phone on speaker and mute my side of the phone and let my office hear what was going on. This stuff just doesn't happen everyday.
Anyway, I waited for the right time to complete the rest of the application and said that I should have the approval done soon and that I would call him back. The thought of bad credit was in my mind and within 2 minutes I was right.
I was not able to get this Sergeant approved, but it sure did make for a good story.
I hope to hear some more stories from this post. Think Hard.
Thanks for reading.
