I was actually the SC on this one.
I phoned up our tech support for something fairly stupid since I was fresh out of college and knew exactly squat. The help desk was efficient, if a bit cold, and in a few minutes the issue was cleared up. It was one of those dumb, simple things I should have been able to handle, but like I said - I was a noob.
After I thank the help desk lady and hang up, I clearly hear her exclaim, "What a stupid mother %$#@!#$." She goes on to badmouth me for almost a minute, using terms I thought only sailors knew. In her defense, she had been having an awful day already so she was at the end of her civility (if she had any to begin with.)
How do I know what kind of day she had, and what she said AFTER we hung up? Because she was about 10 feet away with only a 6 foot cubicle wall between us.
I heard WAAAAAY more than I ever wanted to in that spot....
