Vignettes #32


Working for the customer service of a large online retail store is just monotonous most of the time. You rarely get unusual requests or weird mishaps. But there is the occasional amusing story.

One customer mail I got was an interesting case. Just by reading his query you could sense that he was very upset. He said he had received a very disturbing package from our company, which he had never had ordered. He had opened it in his wife's presence, and ever since has trouble at home. His wife refused to believe him that he had not placed the order himself.

Luckily he could give me the order number. It was true that he had not placed the order himself. Someone else had done so, paid for it (80 bucks!) and had sent it to his address as a gift. The content of the present was: an artificial vagina (also known under many other names like pocket pussy, sailor's darling, etc)!

Since it's not against the law to send someone a gift I only wrote back that it indeed was not an order he had placed, but for security reasons it was not possible for me to reveal who the donor was.

I wonder whether his wife believed him after seeing my response...
