All right, this one just pissed me off.



So, most of our clients don't want us to give out their cell phone numbers. They pay our salaries, so we do what they tell us. Customers do not accept this and then have to be douchebags about it.

E: My co-worker, who is awesome.
MC: Misogynist customer

E: Welcome to (company), how can I help you?
MC: I want to speak to Mr X.
E: Mr X isn't in at the moment. Would you like me to take a message and ask him to call you back?"
MC: No, just give me his cell phone number, I'll call him myself.
E: I'm sorry, I'm not allowed to give out cell phone numbers through the switchboard. I can take a message or you can try to call back later if you'd rather do that.
MC: That's crap! Just give me the number.
E: I can't do that, it's company policy and I can't break the rules.
MC: Why do women have to be so difficult! If it had been a man sitting where you are, he would've given me the number!
E: *annoyed* I certainly hope not, or he would have broken our rules. Have a nice day *click*

WOT?

This is the same kind of men who persist in calling us 'sweetheart' and ask to speak to 'a real technician'.

*dissolves into angry bubbling puddle of rage*

Well. Let's not be too hard on MC. He is, I am sure, merely overcompensating for his wee, tiny dick.

Oh how I wish I could get away with telling them that!

I'm so glad I don't work in a call centre anymore. Though I'd probably call anyone 'baby' who'd call me 'sweetheart'. *huffs*

If only I could do that and get away with it! I must admit, I've started to refer anyone who wants to 'talk to your manager, little lady' to Mrs Boss instead of Mr Boss just to annoy them.

There are some people in this world who are walking around free simply because utter stupidity isn't a crime. =/

Re: referring some people to Mrs. Boss - see, that's because you have a working brain, which you use, and because you are made of awesome.

*rages with you*

It's depressing that this kind of behaviour is still commonplace...

Also, hello! *hugs*

I wish I had something cool and pithy to say back to Mr. Snot. Unfortunately, all I can think about is a cartoon mallet coming through the phone and flattening him.

If stupidity was illegal, we would need a lot more prisons!

Hi! *squishes* How are you? How is the bump?

It never ceases to amaze me how rude people can be. Didn't their mother teach them how to behave in public?

*watches with satisfaction how angry kitty tears into misogynist customer*

It's in situations like these that I wish I had a little button that would deliver an electric shock through the phone line. Strictly for educational purposes of course *clears throat*
