All too common WTF

  • Nov. 15th, 2009 at 9:06 AM
So this happens disturbingly often at my call center. I think it's because we aren't allowed to disconnect a call, even when the caller is done. We have to wait for them to hang up, so sometimes we catch the start of what they do after the call. You can't imagine some of the weird shit I hear when they think they've hung up. o_O

This particular one almost always starts off the same. I'll be helping a member with their insurance question, the call goes well. They get the answer they need, they're happy, I'm happy, I do my little "thank you and please have a good day, sir/ma'am :D" ending bit. They reply just as politely, and I wait for them to hang up. Then I hear it..

... The flush of a toilet. Much, much too loud to be from another room.

I can't help it. My expression immediately turns to DDD:, and do a little grossed-out dance in my chair. All I can think of is "Oh god, so was THAT why they sounded so forced when I asked for their ID number? o_____O" *shudder!*

Short secondhand suck/wtf from a grocery store where the name fits.

Why, WHY for any reason would you go into the men's restroom,
do number two ON THE FLOOR, wipe with your underwear, and then throw the underwear ever so gently across the seat?

The was toilet paper! There was a toilet! There was a trash can! Why?!

Fature - Syncopated Computer Addiction EP

  • Nov. 15th, 2009 at 9:37 AM

Inspired by machines, technology and the future. This short but sweet EP starts out with a back to back interpretation of Philip K. Dick classic theory, with some psychedelic avant-garde compositions. It then takes you into a new world, one that was inspired by the Amiga, with crisp hard hitting beats and a chip inspired bassline.
To finish off, the direction changes again into jazz influenced downtempo and nu-jazz, something not logical.
A lot of thought has gone into all these pieces, and hopefully you will enjoy them.
Fature.

Answering service wench.

We're not the office, I swear. We don't know why they left early. We don't know what their weekend plans are. We don't know anything that isn't sitting in the file in front of our faces, because we answer for 500 clients, and 90% of our calls are simple messages to be held for the office, or urgent medical or home-and-business disaster mitigation stuff that we dispatch ASAP. We have zero access to any stored info our clients might have, and the little bit of info we DO sometimes have is only available because the person who forwarded the lines was feeling particularly forthcoming that day.

In short, we're cheery voices responding to your phone call, and we'd rather not deal with rudenes, entitlement complexes, or offensive bullshit.

Obviously, I'm not allowed to say what I'm really thinking when I get callers who simply refuse to understand the situation, but I'm certainly tempted. That being said, we are NOT required to take abuse. People start swearing at us, or being really nasty, and we can drop the call.

OH MY GOD WHY ARE YOU NOT HELPING MEEEEE??? WHY WON'T YOU DO WHAT I WANT??? )

. . .If 3 men have to pin you down and cuff you to remove you from a store.

(edited to avoid wank)

I work at Telus and this customer had activated a new BlackBerry Bold on his account. However, there was a glitch in the system and his activation was delayed. This really pissed him off. He started yelling at my coworker telling her to fix it. she explained to him repeatedly that the issue was being resolved and he would have to wait.

There was nothing she could do, there was nothing else to be done, it was an issue with the network and not thew phone. He just had to wait and the network issue would be resolved in a few hours. In the mean time his old phone still worked.

This wasn't good enough. He wasn't willing to leave the store until she fixed his phone right there. At this point I could see that it was going south quickly (my coworker looked like she was about to cry) so I called mall security.

Mall security showed up and tried to talk him down and get him to leave the store. He wouldn't leave. security explained that the store is private property and that he needed to leave or they would have to remove him in hand cuffs and notify the police.

Still wouldn't leave.

Security then attempted to cuff him and he completely lost it. He started punching one of the security guards. Then another security guard jumped in to help remove him from the store. He kept fighting. He was knocking in to other customers, knocked over displays. Finally another customer jumped on him from behind and got him down on the ground and sat on his legs while a two security guards held him down and another on got his arm behind his back to cuff him.

WHAT THE FUCK?!

A Wee Suck?

  • Nov. 14th, 2009 at 5:40 PM
I work in a tea shop.

I would have said today was a pretty bad day, what with the little boy who kept kicking me while I was pouring out a Zojirushi of 208° water. And the woman who yelled at me when I told her we couldn't let her use our store computer to check her email, then patronizingly told me, "Good girl! I knew you'd eventually have a smart idea!" when I suggested she go to the Apple store up the street. And the Edward Cullens look-a-like who knocked over a display of mugs (thankfully, only one broke) and just walked away. And the man who didn't know the meaning of "personal space" or "showering". But then it got upgraded to one of the worst days I've had so far.

We have a few wooden chairs set up at the back of the store for customers who want to sit down, relax and enjoy a cup of tea. Well, someone decided to pee on one of them.

No, wait, it gets even better. I found out when I sat in the chair.
