For two years, I called Americans offering them garbage. 'Nuff said.
Also, because of the way outbound works, all I called were American numbers. So I'm not being racist or anything, they were just who I called. I can't do anything to change that because the computers dial our numbers. I'm well aware that there are jerks of all nationalities and religions, I just haven't encountered many of them yet.
Starting out a normal day:
SC: Hello?
Me: Hi may I speak with-
SC: NO YOU MAY NOT!
Click!
Thank you. Next:
SC: Hello?
Me: Hi may I speak with <woman's name>?
SC: This is her is there a message?
Me: o_O
What did she want me to say, "That's okay I'll call back when all your lights are on?" Anyways, next:
SC: Hi welcome to <pizza place> may I take your order?
Note: We're not supposed to be calling businesses on this program, so whenever we get a business we are supposed to exit the call.
Me: I'm sorry I must have the wrong number.
SC: You called <pizza place>.
Me: Yes, and I apologize for my call. Tha-
SC: You just called <pizza place> so make an order!
Th(thought): You must be kidding me -_-
Me: No that's fine, thank you.
SC: Whatever, stupid b***h.
Click!
Funny, I don't remember seeing that name anywhere in my birth certificate. Next:
SC: Hello?
Me: Hi may I-
Click!
Me: o_O
The usual classics. I get them about 50 times a day.
After about a half hour of this a supervisor tells me she wants me to go on another program. In this program all I'm doing is calling old cardmembers from a company and activating their new cards and reminding them to destroy their expired ones. Easy right? Wrong:
SC(Man with a very thick southern accent): Hello?
Me: Hi may I speak with Amber <last name>?
SC: ...
Me: ... Hello?
SC: Do I sooooound like an Aaaaamber to you?
Me: (Startled by the loudness of his voice) N-No sir. May I speak with her please?
That call began promising -_- Next:
SC(man): Hello?
Me: Hi may I speak with Heather <last name>?
SC: Okay sure. Hang on a second.
Th: It took me an hour and I finally get a sensible call...
SC: (Same guy, imitating a woman voice) Hi. This is Heather.
Me: -_- I'll call back another time...
SC: GOOD!
Click!
*sighs* Next:
SC(man): Hello?
Me: Hi may I speak with <man's name>?
SC: Will... you give me... A BLOW JOOOOOOOB?!
Snap! That be my patience
Click! That be SC hanging up
Me: (looking at the address and seeing it's California) You gonna pay for my plane ticket buddy?
At that point I gave up and took a few minutes off. Starting a shift as a TSR is the hardest part of the day.
