Competency. Try it.

Funny


It’s Friday, thank god.

As anyone who has ever worked a phone job can attest to, that amazing invention with the buttons and the dial tone attracts some total nutjobs that grace one’s daily life on this end of the telephone cord with some truly awesome glimpses at humanity at its finest.

For example, the woman who was going to sail on her cruise come hell or highwater (from the…river…maybe?) to the Caribbean from Tennessee.

Well I was browsing the internet to try to decompress from the madness these people cause me in their leisure time, and realized what these amazingly competent people do outside of the hours they are on the phone pestering me for cruises that don’t exist:

They are city workers:


They run errands:

and they are responsible pet owners:

Thank god it’s the weekend.

    I had a guy try to sell my company some illuminated exit signs last week. I took a look at his sketches and the T in “EXIT” was upside down ;)

    i had a customer complain that she was unaware of a charge for a return label. when i explained that the charge was in writing right on the label she said, “who the hell is gonna read that? you should send a letter with it”. how can you argue with that kind of logic.
    thanks for you post

    goat, isn’t that awesome? You don’t put the text on the receipt, they want it on there. You put it on there, they want a letter. You send them a letter, they want a phone call. You call them on the phone, and they want you to take them out to lunch to explain it to them over a nice lobster bisque.

    You can’t compete with stupid… stupid trumps everything. :(

    its that or they do not want to give you a phone number so that you might contact them if something is wrong with an order. then they get a letter and call up upset because their order was delayed due to the fact we couldn’t contact them immediately… yes stupid trumps everything
