This isn't so much sucky as hilarious, in my opinion. I work in collections, and I pulled up my next account, I look through the notes and there are things like "Rude woman took message," and "User hung up upon identification." So I take a deep breath and dial them up. (Why I work in collections when I don't like confrontation, I have no idea.)
Me- Obviously
LK - Little kid
SW - Screaming Woman in the backgroud
LK: "Hello?"
Me: Hi, this is Angelica calling from <my company>, I'm trying to reach the person responsible for the wireless account for <their company>...
LK: Um... Ok....
(I see it going downhill, so I try to back out of it)
Me: Should I call back later?
LK: Hold on (puts his hand over the phone) Mom! It's <my company>, should I take a message?
SW: I'll tell him, I already done told him!
LK: Ok! (he says this part real quiet) Hey Angelica, my mommy never gives daddy the messages, so here's his phone number XXX-XXX-XXXX. Bye bye!
I cracked up so hard I had to log out of my phone. Kudos kid, for ratting out your parents!
