Cat's Tung Stuck to a Dish Network Dish

I’ll never forget the phone call I got last month while working as a satellite representative for Dish TV! I think it was one of the craziest phone calls I have ever received! In fact, I would definitely place it on the list that I have lovingly titled, “Danielle’s Top Ten List of Bizarre Satellite TV Calls”! Moreover, when I think about it, if Dish Network held a contest for the weirdest satellite calls ever received, this one phone call would surely be a winner!

An elderly woman called our toll free number in January. I introduced myself and asked how I could assist her with her satellite service. She was pretty upset when she said, “I need a satellite technician out here right away!”

Immediately, I asked her what the problem was and why she was so upset. I asked, “Are you out of service? Is there something wrong with your satellite TV signal? Perhaps it is something we can fix easily over the phone.”

She replied, “Oh, I don’t think so. I need a Dish Network technician to come here immediately. My cat got out of the house and got up on the roof. She licked the satellite dish and now her poor tongue is frozen to the dish! You must help my cat!”

Trying to keep from laughing because the image seemed rather funny at the time, I asked her if she had anyone who could get the cat down if I told her how. She advised me that her grandson was available. I told her to take a little warm water and pour it onto the cat’s tongue and that would release the cat’s tongue from its frozen state.

I waited on the line until she told me the task was accomplished. After thanking me a thousand times, I told her that it was no problem and advised her to keep her cat in the house from now on! She promised that she would!
