I was working as a receptionist for a government justice department. I just answered the phones and dealt with mail/couriers, but, most days, that was enough.
And, of course, it was right before lunch when I got this guy.
Me: "Department of Justice, bonjour!"
SC: "I want to talk to someone!"
Me: "Well, sir, I'm someone. How can I help you?"
SC: "You don't sound important. I have a complaint!"
Me: "Alright, and can I ask your name?"
SC: "Buttpancake Doucheface."
Me: "What can I do for you, Mr. Doucheface?"
SC: "Your justice system is screwed up! Nothing works! I was treated like a common criminal when I was just an ordinary human being! Blah blah blah, going to the public, blah blah blah, end of society as we know it, blah blah blah, corrupt officials... And I will lead a revolution, and then I will OWN you!"
Me: "Okay."
SC: "I... What?"
Me: "I have registered your complaint, sir."
SC: "... What? But... You don't have anything to say?"
Me: "Not really, sir. I'll pass your message along to my supervisor and someone will get back to you."
SC: "... Oh. Okay... Well, thanks, I guess..."
Me: "Have a great day, sir."
I swear, nothing takes the wind out of their sales like not giving a good god-damn about their babbling. But it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside!
