[B/G] So I went to call back a wholesale customer, checking their lines are up after a cable cut. [/end B/G]
He rants & rants about the contractors doing the work & the damage they did to the cables, because he was out of service for over 24 hours.
He kept insisting that, although they had a name like "Underground Service Something-or-other" they were actually The Big Cabling Co. in NZ (a word like "Harmony"
) ... Tried correcting him a few times, then gave up & just uh-huh'ed and m-hm'ed until he finally worked himself up to his Point. (capital intended. He acted like this was the climax of all his incoherent arguing - with himself).
"Just because you've split off into two companies, doesn't mean $AnotherBigTelco is not responsible!" (I can see him pointing eagerly at the sky in emphasis right now.)
I let him sit in pregnant silence for a few moments, before saying.
"Uh-huh. But you realise, like I said, I'm calling from $MyTelco, right?"
Pause.
Pause.
Him: "Well, like I said, the fault is fixed now. Thanks for calling. G'night". CLICK.
