Marital bliss...?

[Cloudy Sky]

I can handle a lot of rudeness and suckitude without batting an eyelash, but some things just make me boil. By the end of this hour-long call, my tongue was bloody from my biting it. And all because what was happening in the background....

SC = husband
SCW = wife
Me :

(background in italics)

SC calls in about overages on his cell phone bill

Me: I'm sorry sir, but you are not on this account, so I can't speak to you on it; unless the account holder is handy to authorize you?
SC: I AM HER HUSBAND, PAY ALL THE BILLS SO THIS MAKES IT MY ACCOUNT TOO!
*and yes, he did semi-shout through the whole call!*
Me: I'm sorry, but there is only one account holder and we need their approval to speak to you..
SC: FINE, IF THAT'S THE WAY YOU'RE GOING TO BE! HEY!! HEY!! GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE! THE IDIOTS WON'T LET ME TALK TO THEM WITHOUT YOUR OKAY, GET OVER HERE AND TELL THEM TO TALK TO ME!
SCW: Hello?
Go through security questions, and get her okay to speak to him.
SCW: I'm sorry, please don't mind my husband, he's just a little upset by the bill.
SC: DON'T APOLOGIZE FOR ME! NOW GIVE ME THE F***ING PHONE!
SC: WHAT THE F*** ARE YOU GUYS THINKING, CHARGING ME SO MUCH, AND I NEVER EVEN USED MY PHONE IN JAMAICA?
Baby is crying in the background
SC: CAN'T YOU SHUT THAT KID UP FOR 5 MINUTES WHILE I'M ON THE PHONE? GOD, YOU'RE USELESS!

And it went on in for the entire length of the call, until it got escalated to a supervisor. I took an extra break after this call, I was so angry at him, and so much wanted to tell the wife to run far and fast away from this douchecanoe. Oh, and the ending to his call? Didn't get a penny back, even from the supervisor.

Uh... cheese rolls* to you and your supervisor And Yes, I agree with you on the whole wife thing. If he is yelling at her and speaking to her in that way she should probably be thinking of getting out, especially with the poor little baby.

So if it is her phone, of course he didn't place a call in Jamaica, she sure may have though

*May be found at Cheese Roll I will forever now hand these out instead of cookies, those who are lactose intolerant, well I hereby decree that these are lactose free, however improbable that may seem

Pick the right kind of cheese and it's low enough in lactose that most people can have it. What do you have for me? I have a sensitivity to casein.

"SC: CAN'T YOU SHUT THAT KID UP FOR 5 MINUTES WHILE I'M ON THE PHONE? GOD, YOU'RE USELESS!"


"And the next thing I remember, doctor, is waking up to you asking me how the phone wound up in my ass!"

I hereby decree that (although highly improbable) these are also free of casein, and well, are generally free of anything not suited to the eaters body (just thought about gluten too ). I think I think too much...

so cheese rolls without any cheese or bread? Magical internet cheese rolls!

Hey, don't question the cheese rolls of wonderfulness!

[ottid]

Hmmm, I now actually feel like making real cheese rolls!

Sorry Cloudy Sky for slightly hijacking your thread, perhaps I shouldn't have offered the cheese rolls...

[baileysinmycoffee]

Oh dear god I hate the background marital disputes! It drives me up the freakin wall. We are not really supposed to put the customer on hold, rather, we are supposed to put them on "mute" while we work.

I put them on hold anyway, after I heard one too many marital disputes (there was this one call, I will never forget, where the husband shouts "we haven't had sex in 2 months!! Of course I'm gonna go out to the bars at night.....)

*shudder*

[Jester]

"we haven't had sex in 2 months!! Of course I'm gonna go out to the bars at night.....

Okay, now that comment may well be justified!

[ottid]

Okay, now that comment may well be justified!

Or maybe the reason why they haven't in 2 months...

That answered the question I was going to ask

Did I mention I LOVE cheese?

Now I want to eat some

[XCashier]

Sorry you had to deal with that. I really hope his wife and kid get out of there and get help; nobody should have to live with that.

Don't be so sure that all the relationship suck is on his part.

The yelling at her while he was on the phone was absolutely sucky, but in relationship situations, it can be very difficult to tell who is actually causing the distress.

A friend of my brother's had a psycho girlfriend who would injure herself on purpose and then needle him into starting a fight with her in public so she could claim he was abusing her. If she didn't already have a record of this type of activity, everybody would have rallied to her side.

And, closer to home, a lot of people who knew me when I was still with my ex thought I was a complete bitch. Because they only ever saw us when he was out being himself (aka, completely without any trace of responsibility or restraint), and I was forced to do damage control and keep him from spending all our money and putting himself in the hospital (he's been there twice since we split up) and so going out was actually very hard on me.
