79 minutes into a 12 hour day

[Wenchie]

Me: The Awesome Wenchie (thoughts in italics)
SC: Somebody's got a case of the Mondays


Me: Blah blah blah, may I have your name and your agent ID please?
SC: Yeah yeah yeah whatever.
Me: ... oh this is going to be fun
SC: *faster than the speed of light* johnsmith123456
Me: I'm sorry, but can you repeat that again a little slower?
SC: *heavy sigh* J O H N.... S M I T H... 1...2...3...4...5...6
Me: I hope you die in a fire, asshole



Me: Blah blah blah, may I have your name and your agent ID please?
SC: I WAS ON HOLD FOREVER!!!!!!!! OMGWTFBBQ!!!!!
Me: call queue shows you were on hold 47 seconds... fuck you lady



Me: Blah blah blah, may I have your name and your agent ID please? *coughs slightly after speaking*
SC: Are you sick? ARE YOU SICK?
Me: I'm fine ma'am. Just getting over a little something, but I'll be happy to assist you.
SC: HOW DARE YOU ANSWER THE PHONE SICK! YOU COULD GET ME SICK! TRANSFER ME TO SOMEONE HEALTHY!
Me: I don't have the energy to deal with you today *transfers her back to the queue*

Now... I know that I've been joking about Mytical getting me sick, but this lady was serious. Somehow I don't think my bronchitis is going to merrily dance it's way down the phone line and into her lungs. If I had that power, I wouldn't be answering the phone.

I thought people like this were a myth... there's another couple notches down on my faith in humanity meter.

I...wah....buh?? My brain bluescreened! Where does she get the idea that you can get sick over the phone? If that were the case I would have come down with AIDS, swine flu, and Ebola eons ago!

[Darkforge]

ahh, the joys of call center work...

I know the feeling, daily

[Midnight]

Crap, they need to start screen call center employees for colds. I didn't know viruses could get transfered over hundreds of miles of phone lines!

Oh I dunno, I seem to have caught the cold that has been making the rounds of the small irc channel I frequent
There was no hope for me, was talking to one sufferer both in there and on the phone

Oooh, I smell my cookies baking... anyone want one?

Yes please! And feel better soon!

Thanks.. and one large warm choc chip heading in your direction.. Catch!

It's worse, because I'm on an IP phone. So it's transmitted via my router to the phone server at my office, and THEN transferred overhundreds of miles of phone lines.

I...wah....buh?? My brain bluescreened! Where does she get the idea that you can get sick over the phone? If that were the case I would have come down with AIDS, swine flu, and Ebola eons ago!

My callers make my brain bluescreen on a regular basis...

Thank you! *noms happily*

I found this story funny because I remember you telling me you got sick and that Mytical spread it to you in chat. I never thought someone would be dumb enough to believe that it's actually possible.

*And here's an extra Hero hug.* Get better.

[Magpie]

Wenchie, you're being unfair to that second caller. It probably took her ages to get through to you. She just couldn't differentiate between the time spent trying to get her remaining brain cell to figure out how to make the call, and the time actually spent in the queue.

I am not responsible for her inability to type numbers into a phone, as much as she would probably like to blame me for that...

Oh, completely true. But she's not precisely lying. She's just too stupid to live .

I can't argue with this....

Now... I know that I've been joking about Mytical getting me sick, but this lady was serious.

My former mother-in-law is a nurse and she thought that you got lice from being dirty. You didn't need to actually come in contact with someone who had lice, you just had to not bathe and *bam* you'd get lice.

... as for the getting sick, thing, I was sick before I came back from my most recent hiatus, so I can neither be blamed nor make blame for any germs spreading through CS. And I wasn't playing CoX, either, so it had to have gone through Facebook.
