Ok, I admit it... I'm a lurker. I silently read everyone else's posts from the shadows and sneak away without a sound.
But today I crack, and must vent... this happens semi regularly but today it happened 3 times, the last of which took the cake.
Me:
SC: slow sucky customer....
One
SC: Hi, I have a form I need to send to you, how do I get it to you?
(desperatly holding back from suggesting carrier pidgion and pony express)
me:well you can mail or fax it to us, I can give you both our address and fax number.
SC: oh, then let me get a pen...
(5 minutes of rumbling noises as I hear the woman run upstairs and down and tear through entire house)SC: pant, pant.... ok go ahead...
wow that was quite the indiana jones adventure you went on there lady, I think I even heard the giant stone ball rolling behind you at one point. That better be one fancy pen
two
SC: Hi, can I have your fax number please?
Me: sure, its....
SC: oh wait let me get a pen...
you are just realizing you need something to write with Now?!? What was your original plan, to write in blood?
Three
Me: Good afternoon, XXXXXXX agency
SC: I need your address right now!!
(ok..... and thanks for the loud baby screaming in the background too lady!)
me: no problem, its...
SC: WAIT! I Need an INK PEN! (ink pen?)
Me: ok....
SC: Hey, don't you hit your sister when I'm on the Phone! (otherwise its ok?)
followed by a loud slap and a sound of glass breaking that I can only assume was the child flying out the window after being slapped so hard. call disconnects. guess she never found her special ink pen.
