I wish I'd said this
I was visiting a company, discussing with them their purchase of a big new server. I was counting myself lucky as I'd been held up on the way, and had got the last space in their car park, under a tree.

I was just greeting people in the IT department when the following call occurred:

IT Support Tech: "Hello, IT, How can I help"
...
IT Support Tech: "Well, then, do some work."
Phone down.

This stopped the office. Just before my curiosity lobe exploded, the IT Manager asked, politely, what that was in aid of. The explanation went as follows:

"You know the new screensaver we put in with the new desktop build? Well, that user doesn't like the new screensaver. Apparently she thinks it's awful. So I told her to do some work then."

Score. I wish I'd said that.

(Oh, and the parking space? I got back to my then-new company Vectra to find it was a different colour because of the amount of guano on it. I had to wash it, as it was blowing up the windscreen as I tried to drive.)
