Cable Crackheads & Other Craziness

[Phone Jockey]

Me: How may I help you, sir?
C: My channels are OUT! What are you going to do about it?
Me: Which channels are out, sir?
C: I don’t know!
Me: How long have they been out?
C: Well I don’t know!
Me: No?
C: Well, I DO know that I DON’T know!

******************************************

C: Should I turn on the TV?
Me: Not yet.
C: No?
Me: Do not turn on the TV yet.
C: I’m going to turn on the TV.
Me: You should wait to turn it on.
C: HA! I went ahead & turned it on!

******************************************

C: (to me) Hello mam? Where did you go?
Me: Hello sir?
C: I can’t hear her anymore…oh…what?
Me: Sir?
C: Oh hi! I was holding the phone up-side down for some reason.

hmm, three people had a heaping serving of ultra stupid for dinner, then washed it down with a case of ridiculous.

1) Then how do you know any at all are out?

2) That's fine sir, but because you did that it messed things up. Now we have to send a technician out to mess with the inhanatizlat, which will be at least 59.99. I really wish you hadn't turned that TV on.

3) My IQ just dropped 50 points, at least.....

Normally you just deal with idiot a-holes, but today you caught a kindergarten class that was let out early.

Dunno about that. Not one mention of bodily functions, especially those concerning the lower end of the digestive system. No self-respecting 5-year-old who gets to talk on the phone is going to pass up the chance to say 'poop' to a stranger.

Oy vey. What a bunch of idiots, you'd think that people would try to at least be a little bit prepared before they call, but then again, after eight years in retail nothing surprises me.

[Argabarga]

Sounds like he's out MORE than just a few channels.....

[chainedbarista]

there's smoke rolling out of that box...

I thought they were Kindergarten class dropouts.

You don't say. Why am I reminded of this dialogue, from original Star Trek:

"He's lying! Everything Harry says to you is a lie!"
"That's right, and I am lying!"
"[...] Illogical! Illogical!" (head explodes)
