He obviously could have been using a cell phone, or at work.

So you hung up? I guess you'll just leave the phone line down then?

All the rain up here in the northeast caused a tree in my neighbor's yard to fall, knocking out both of our phone lines.

So I call the phone company today and explain that I have no service at home due to a downed line, and can someone come out to fix it.

No joke, after fully explaining the situation, the service rep actually said this:

"Are you calling from the home phone now?"

I had to hang up on this man.

Yah,getting through to someone who could help, and taking the time to explain the situation, and then hanging up at a fair way down the road in sorting it out is a pretty good example, I'd say. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

This guy obviously went on the 10 week 'La-La-La I'm not listening' course that all call centre (center) workers have to go on before they can annoy the [censored] out of ordinary people.

Picked up "hot & ready" pizza last night for my kid. The young lady behind the counter told me it would be $6.35, including tax. I gave her a $5 bill, a $1 bill, and 2 quarters. She picked up one of those little 99cent calculators, that was lying next to the register. I gave her a funny look as she entered "6.50 - 6......" - she noticed me staring, and said "sorry, our register is broken. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
