A British B&M employee claims to have been 'fired' after making an x-rated tannoy call to customers.
Ollie White thought that recording himself making an x-rated tannoy call in a B&M store he worked in would send him viral on the social media app, TikTok.
In the video the plucky youngster, very clearly sporting the orange and blue uniform of B&M, can be seen checking if the camera is rolling before asking customers: "This is a customer announcement, please could the owner of the white BMW number plate NE14 ABJ please come to the front of the store – you've left your lights on.
"That's NE14 ABJ. Thank you."
Not everybody is as quick witted as me, so i'll explain for those at the back. NE (any) 14 (one for) ABJ (A BJ [or blow job]) is the numberplate referenced, which as I've put in brackets can be misheard for 'Any one for a BJ?'.
Don't worry if you didn't understand it. I've trawled the deep dark corners of the internet and realised that actually, quite a lot of people had no idea that NE14ABJ can be interpreted as a rude gesture; which probably says more about me than them.
Either way, it was funny. Fair play, although it's been done a million time. But then again, TikTok didn't exist until last week so all the old classics are making a comeback.
My favourite growing up was: A man walks into a bar with a steering wheel stuck to his willy. The bar man says, "You've got a steering wheel stuck to your willy". The man says, "Yeah I know, it's driving me nuts".
Moving swiftly back on track, Ollie titled his TikTok "I actually got sacked from B&M for this, don't let it flop." Making it potentially a very expensive prank.
It would be disappointing if true as I've seen people do and say much worse in my time. One of those moments came in a very well known electronics store when a young lad make a tannoy announcement for a "Mr. Ben Chod". What made it worse was the store had a host of staff members of British-Asian descent - some of which put him up to the task.
He was none-the-wiser until his manager came storming over and dragged him into the office whilst the colleagues stood creasing in the corner. I know this because I was the lad who'd been asked to make the announcement. If you don't know what the name actually means and are curious, click here. Fortunately my plea of innocence worked.
I've gone off track again. Sorry.
The good news here is that B&M told the Daily Star that Ollie was not fired because he performed the x-rated stunt outside of opening hours. A great result for a bit of harmless fun.
You can only watch the video via the Daily Star (click this link) as Ollie deleted the video from his TikTok account shortly after it went viral. Ironic really.
