Earthquake?

Was there an earthquake somewhere today? I was chatting with someone at AT&T about the email I got regarding 2020 DirecTV prices and this is how it went. Hopefully, everyone is ok...

By the time she finished with all the exclamation points the earthquake was probably over.

Not sure if it's great customer service that she kept typing during the earthquake, or plain stupidity.

Folks, this is a misunderstanding. Violet wasn't saying "earthquake", she said earthqukake. Which is a little known term for a seismic level bukkake. Not very professional to be doing this in the work environment, but hey i don't make the rules at AT&T

We've had a few minor shakes over the last week here, maybe Violet is down here somewhere.

Being along the Pacific Rim of Fire, I'm sure that they are well-versed in earthquake procedures having on average almost one per day:

Confirmation that AT&T moved DirecTV customer support to the Philippines:

Would be cool if there was somehow a way to make a thread with all the 'Best posts of 2019' ...or something to that effect.

I'd say the admins could look up the posts with the highest number of "appreciates" within OT. But we know it would be all half naked women.

...not that it's a bad thing.
