all new level of 'wtf'ness

7:30 am, I enter the store and begin doing opeing duties. The store opens at 8:00 am.

7:35 phone rings. I check the caller id and recognize it as a particularly annoying customer I dont feel like dealing with yet, and decide to not answer as technically i have till 8 before im required to start dealing with such crap. Phone rings and rings, answering maching picks up, plays message informing the customer to call within business hours and states our business hours. Customer breathes into machine for a few seconds and hangs up.

7:37. phone rings. same guy. phone rings and rings, answering maching picks up and again states the message with the store hours. customer is quicker about hanging up this time but still gets a few heavy breaths in.

7: 39. repeat scenario.

7: 39 and 3o seconds. Repeat scenario.

7:40. repeat scenario.

7:40 and 30 seconds. Repeat scenario.

7:41. repeat scenario, and I turn the ringer off, but the answering machine still picks up.

Guy calls 27 FREAKING TIMES, listens to the message each time, breathes, hangs up.

8:00 am. on the dot. Phone rings. From somewhere in the dark empty remains of my last failing reserves of patience, I conjure a cheery-sounding, "Good morning, <comany>, how may I help you?

SC: Hey what are your hours?

[RootedPhoenix]

So let me get this straight, dude listens to 28 iterations of your hours, and STILL has to ask you what they are?

And the heavy breathing? Eeeeww.

"Well sir, since our opening hours were stated on the answering machine that you called 27 FREAKING times, our hours are 8am to 8.05am, so oops too late were shut now have a nice day.

Answer: Between the times of 8:00:10AM and 8:00:45AM. Have a nice day!

I've always been curious how people that stupid are actually able to survive.

Either this guy is being a complete jerk or he's a total idiot. This guy has to pick the kind of suck he wants to be.

Remarkable advances both in pallative care and plastic/reconstructive surgery.

ouch... that's low... true, but low

Some people really are that....dense....or in denial, that when a phone has rang x many times or a voicemail picks up, they still truly believe someone is there. So they will call, and call, and call....it's happened to me before. People are just stupid that way.
