Talking, eating, listening to music, or gossiping about the person on the phone are all acceptable, provided that you MUTE YOURSELF. And, if you ever forget… start praying.

2. If we were honest

If the call center employees were honest, the job would be 100% easier and more fun for sure. Did you wait for many hours? Well, I was not having a picnic either!

3. Sometimes it is your fault

It is important to use that button when it is necessary. But the key is not to overdo it. And always know if you are on mute or not.

4. It’s not your problem now 🥱

#4 Call center meme - Source: cxcentral

When you have done everything in your power to help the customer and still can not satisfy them. The best you can do is to transfer them to a higher power. 

5. It’s their turn now

Now, it is time to watch them sweat and suffer because of that insufferable customer. Everybody can have their share.

6. Good morning, sunshine 🙂

Who doesn’t like screaming and whining callers waking you up like a cold shower? They work like a charm, especially after a good weekend. 🙄 

7. Please hold

#7 Call center meme - Source: liveagent

The best calls are the ones that do not ring, to begin with. But the second best is the ones that are not about your responsibilities. Then you can proudly say: “please hold while I transfer your call.”

8. The dream🥹

#8 Call center meme - Source: proactiveplanning

Some call center employees are taking hundreds of calls and really working themselves off. And some call center employees are having minimal calls for great pay. If that is not the call center worker’s dream, I do not know what is.

9. Get. To. The. Point.

#9 Call center meme - Source: memedroid

Dear Sir/ma’am, you do not need to start your story from the moment the big bang happened. Just summarize it, give me the appropriate information, and help me help you. Sincerely, every call center worker ever.

10. Conceal. Don’t feel.

#10 Call center meme - Source: memedroid

If the number one responsibility of a call center employee is to help the customers, the number two is not letting them know that they are being a jerk. Just mute yourself, let the anger out, and try to act mature (unlike somebody else).

11. No way!

#11 Call center meme - Source: siliconrepublic

Well, if that is not the consequence of your own actions. Who would have guessed it would result like that? Not you!

12. Let me talk, please

#12 Call center meme - Source: thecallcenterchronicles

Sir- I am sorry- sir, plea- Let me talk, please! You yelling and interrupting me will not get you where you need to be any time sooner. This way will only hinder our work.

13. “Hello, thank you for calling.”

#13 Call center meme - Source: cxcentral

Every call center employee is a voice actor. And they all know the “customer service voice.” It is a universal thing every call center employee makes up.

14. Overtime calls 🤮

#14 Call center meme - Source: imgflip

Calls that come at the last 10 minutes of your shift that do not end soon enough should be illegal. Sir, I do not get paid enough for this. Please let me solve your problem so we can both go on with our lives.

15. “Could you spell that word for me?”

#15 Call center meme - Source: imgflip

Not everybody knows universal spelling codes. And it is okay. Sometimes it turns out bad, sometimes, it turns out funny words. Like, B as in Batmobile.

16. Going home, are we?

#16 Call center meme - Source: sayingimages

They call, yell and scream at you, all while knowing you can not say anything back to them. Not so fair, right? At least you can roll their eyes without any consequences.

17. People be stupid

#17 Call center meme - Source: sayingimages

Let’s be frank, people are stupid. And they are especially stupid when they are yelling on the phone to a faceless voice. But you have the power to make fun of them on your break or even during the call.

18. At least you can mute yourself

#18 Call center meme - Source: nairaland

The calls are recorded for two reasons. One; to make a proof of everything that has been said. And, two, to test my patience to not lash out at dumbasses.

19. It was intentional

#19 Call center meme - Source: fonolo

Let me guess, the system is down, and you think we caused it. Of course. Because how else will we get people yelling at us at 7 in the morning?

20. It all starts like that

#20 Call center meme - Source: callcentreprobs

Many people start their call center jobs thinking it will be a short-lived job. But this is a job that has its own perks. Like a pit, you can not pull yourself out.

21. You are just like me.

#21 Call center meme - Source: customerfirstacademy

Only a call center employee understands what a call center employee lives through every day. We salute every one of you working every day!

22. After a long shift

#22 Call center meme - Source: awesomejelly

After a long shift and hundreds of calls, you just want some peace and quiet. Therefore, if you see a call center worker after their work, do not engage in long conversations with them. 

23. This is how we do it

#23 Call center meme - Source: awesomejelly

Calls in queue memes are a positive look on a stressful part of the job, but imagine the opposite. You just successfully ended your call, there is no call in queue, and you have some quiet time to yourself. If that is not a great call center day, I do not know what is.

24. Sounds right

#24 Call center meme - Source: awesomejelly

A call center job differs from other jobs in the visuality and presentability aspects. Unlike other occupations, you may be doing whatever you want behind the screen. As long as you keep your voice professional, they will never know. 😀

25. If only they listened

#25 Call center meme - Source: cheezburger

Sometimes you have all the information, and you are ready to help, but the customer is not cooperating. If only they understand this is a two-way street, and their yelling will not make anything go faster.

26. The voice of the people

#26 Call center meme - Source: inspirationfeed

Yes, we did not make the rules, and we are not the people that overcharged you. But as call center specialists, we are the face (or the voice) of the company we work for. So, they can complain to you all they want.

27. I told you so…

#27 Call center meme - Source: inspirationfeed

When a customer is not satisfied with the information you gave them, they may ask to talk to another representative, or they may want to speak to your manager. You know they will not say anything different, but at least it’s not your problem now.

28. If only they were not recorded

#28 Call center meme - Source: cheezburger

Let’s be honest, no call center agent comes to work thinking every caller will get on their nerves, and their jobs suck. But there is always a certain type of caller who will push on your patience. And, if only the calls were not recorded so that we could say what we have on our minds.

29. Really, why?

#29 Call center meme - Source: filwebasiainc

Some callers are angry even before calling you and they lash out at you. Their frustration may come from the reason they are calling you, or because of the long wait time. Nonetheless, the best you can do with an annoying customer is to be as professional as possible.

30. Bitch, please

#30 Call center meme - Source: pinterest

Even though you remain professional on the outside should not give them other ideas that your good intentions are limitless. Of course, you will mute yourself or go on your break and tell your coworkers how stupid you are.

31. Tuesdays, am I right?

#31 Call center meme - Source: customerfirstacademy

I do not know which is worse, coming to work knowing it will be a rough day and it turns out to be a rough day, or thinking it will be an easy Tuesday and calls blowing up? Both are challenging if you ask me.

32. Night shift 🧟

#32 Call center meme - Source: customerfirstacademy

Let us not forget about the hardworking night shifters. They are the masters of sleepless nights, sleeping on the table, and going on about your day without sleeping in the morning because your other friends are only available at that time.

33. Who is the rudest of them all?

#33 Call center meme - Source: Pinterest

People are always the rudest when they are yelling on the phone instead of talking to you in person. Maybe tell that to my face the next time. But, on the bright side, they cease to exist once you end the call. 

34. The stupidity…

#34 Call center meme - Source: tagacallcenter

You can not possibly guess how stupid some people are before working in a call center. But, the same as everything, after some time even this stupidity becomes normal. Try to see call centers funny, and enjoy their stupidness. 

35. Unfortunately, yes

#35 Call center meme - Source: tagacallcenter

Maybe, one of the worst parts of working in a call center (other than people yelling at you) is the fact that you can not end the call no matter what. However, if you are working in a company that lets you hang up the phone in certain circumstances, that is great.

36. Job that teaches life

#36 Call center meme - Source: hotcore

Working at a call center teaches you multiple things. These include smiling through pain, acting like a polite person, and making up a customer service voice. It is indeed a job like no other.

37. Long ass stories

#37 Call center meme - Source: hotcore

We wonder when will people realize that you only need some information about the issue. Generally, they do not need to start the story from the beginning of time. 

38. Summary of everything

#38 Call center meme - Source: hotcore

A call center job may seem simple to those who do not know what it is like. It is harder than many people think. But this is what we do for a living.

39. Best kind of caller

#39 Call center meme - Source: hotcore

It is a great feeling when the caller is cooperative, spells their name for you, and listens to you. As long as they communicate with you, all the calls can go smoothly as butter.

40. It is what it is

#40 Call center meme - Source: Sayingimages

Sometimes you try, you push, you wait, but it is basically not your day. No matter how many cold calls you make, you can not make a sale but that is okay. Not everyday has to be your day. And, believe it or not this is not one of those indian call center memes. They are a whole other section.

41. Wrong number

#41 Call center meme - Source: Sayingimages

Have you ever had a realization mid-call that the caller dialed the wrong number? Yeah, this is meme is for that exact moment.

42. Have you tried being more annoying?

#42 Call center meme - Source: Sayingimages

Dear esteemed customers, you yelling on the phone to me about something I have no control over will not solve your problem anytime sooner. Please keep that in mind next time you call a call center.

43. When they do not cooperate

#43 Call center meme - Source: quickmeme

If you do not answer my question, and I can not answer your question we can not end this line any time soon. Let us calm down and start from the top.

44. Said no one ever

#44 Call center meme - Source: someecards

Some people live to work and love what they do. If you are working in a call center, most probably you work to live, and you do not really enjoy what you are doing. But, the best part of working at a call center is the fact that they can not make you take your work home.

45. You hung up on me?!

#45 Call center meme - Source: thecallcenterchronicles

We have been talking and talking, and you hung up on me? This is the thing that makes you feel like a used robot. You could at least say bye, you know. I have feelings too.

46. Let me talk to my manager

As long as you’re helping the customer and answering calls, you are doing your job. Whatever you do when you’re on mute or off calls is your business. 

47. Like an endless loop

In a call center, you say the same opening over and over and over again. And you have to have the same attitude for every new caller. But on the plus side, sometimes you do not even concisely say your next words, and they turn out correct.

48. Screaming customer

Ouch. This is a type of call where the caller is frustrated, angry, and screaming at you. To not get your feelings hurt, you got to make sure not to take any of it personally.

49. The first time

When you are a newbie, the system feels like a cold shower. You do not know where to click, you do not know what to say, and you do everything in your power to remember what they taught you in orientation.

50. They always call when you are eating

You want to eat something, and you say, “What the hell, I will take a small bite,” and just as you bite, a call comes. This is a case that never changes.

51. First call ever

Everybody remembers their very first call. You feel anxious, you do not know what to say. But after some time, it feels so natural to you. You know what they say tho, you do not forget your first.

Wrapping it up

Working in a call center is not an easy task. However, if this job is your calling, then go for it. That means you are tough enough to endure long hours talking, listening, staring at a computer screen, and sometimes getting yelled at. But these are no big matters for you when you love your job.
