You have a nice day, too, ma'am

[slipjig3]

When a 72-year-old woman tells you to go fuck yourself, I think it's pretty safe to say that you're having a lousy day at work.

Ah, well. At least we ran into jenphalian and lbitw today. In any event, though, back to the salt mines with me. *sigh*

Eef. Your pain, I feel, as I am a veteran of call centers.

This actual exchange between me and a female caller in Barrow, Alaska (really) might be cheery:

(at the end of a fairly rambunctious call where she and I'd been able to joke around)

ME: Anything else I can help you with?

HER: Not unless you can come up here and give me some free sex.

ME (after a pause): Well, you have to keep warm somehow...

HER: *laughs*

I was smiling at the end of that.

*giggle* Sadly, I don't get calls like that, usually. Every now and then I'll get someone who says I sound cute, but even that hasn't happened in a long while.

"Sorry ma'am, I can't do that at work, I'll get in trouble!"

Somehow, this seems like a rite of passage...just not sure how, exactly;)

That would be true only if this were the first time. It wasn't.

sounds like a great lead-in to customers_suck. :-/

Not enough of a story to it, unfortunately. But oh, do I have other stories....

Jeez, are you kidding? What happened??

Absolutely nothing: she couldn't hear what I was saying, said, "Ahh, go fuck yourself," and hung up. End of chat.
