    Asswipe

    My phone beeped (meaning incoming call) and the first thing I heard was:
    SC: ENGLISH! ONE! I WANT FUCKING ENGLISH!
    Me: Uh... thanks for callling, how may I help you?
    SC: My bill went up $20! Why?
    Me: Well, this is the repair department, but I can take a look. What's the phone number?
    SC: 456-789
    Me: mental sigh as I realize he's from That region, I hadn't caught the accent earlier although I should have realized based on the beginning of the call And the area code?
    SC: 123
    Me: I'm sorry, the billing system you are in is currently down for maintenance. If you call us during business hours we can go over your bill with you.
    SC: You're no use at all, are you?
    Me: Any other questions?
    SC: No, I just wanted to make you feel like shit.

    Sounds like you have one of those freaking screwy systems that only takes voice input. Great idea in practice, but if they drive me up the walls. I've encountered some that will not take keypad input at all, and want you to tell it what you want, like some sort of robotic shrink. These things are the most f**king idiotic things ever conceived. /rant

    I won't even go into having to press "1" to get the native language of our country...

    My response:

    "Well, you've not only succeeded, but you've ruined the rest of my day. Have a Nice day!" <click>

    What a dick.

            No way would I ever say this and let a crappy customer or anybody else think he'd brought me down. My response would go more like, "Oh you haven't made me feel like shit. I'm actually having a pretty good day. You have a great day too."

            I do this to my mom a lot. She's a total pessimist and she frequently calls me with a tale of woe and says, "I just wanted to make you worry with me." to which I respond, "oh, I'm not worried." It drives her CRAZY.

            I refuse to give them the power to make me feel bad.

              I really don't understand why any CSR would feel the worse of themselves after hearing that. Not only could I tell my friends about the most pathetic person in the world, but I also have a topic for my favorite place to type.

                I'm sure a number of techno geeks are impressed with this system but I'm not one of them. There's something about speaking to a machine that drives me batty.


                If someone said something like that ruin your day line to me I'd never let them know it bothered me. I used to love when I'd have an assclown like this and you just keep getting nicer and nicer to them. I think I gave a guy a stroke one day by playing that game.

                        I hate those things! I feel like an absolute flaming fool talking to them. Mainly because you have to e-n-u-c-i-a-t-e your words in a way that nobody ever talks like.

                          That, and I despise talking on the phone. I'm a text geek, I'd much rather text someone then talk to them on the phone... There are plenty of exceptions, but when on the phone I still hate when someone calls me "just to chat".
                          Example of my phone conversations (with friends):
                          NW: Hey there, wanna hang out tonight?
                          Friend: Sure.
                          NW: Great, meet you at X at X time.
                          Friend: Okie!

                            Everyone has problems with those things, even in the comics. But they managed to fix it.
