I am so sick to death of retards working in telecommunications. Why can't they all work in retail or real-estate or some other bastard industry set up for retards?
OK, so I work for a phone company.
My department of cubicle monkeys books outsourced sales partners' sales into the systems. We also check for Cable and DSL serviceability.
A call from earlier today :
Me : "Welcome to Generic Telco, this is r1nce."
SFR (Stupid Fucking Retard) : "Yeah, I wanna do a broadband check."
Me : "OK, was that for Cable or DSL?"
SFR : "Nahh, broadband."
Me : "Riiight."
This is just one example of the types of assholes I have to deal with. If they're not being criminally retarded, they're fresh off the boat and can't speak a word of English. I swear that 90% of my job in translating their gibberish into sensible sentences.
FOTB (Fresh off the boat) Rep : "No.. it's A for Elephant, then T for parrot."
On the plus side, I get to make comical "typos" when entering all this data. My most recent was for a 'Lamia Spiker".
I figured "B" was close enough to "M" to justify its changing... Don't you think?

I hope you get fired and have to take out multiple payday loans to feed your illegitimate children.

I was just soying that calling me a dick or whatever it was, is in my opinion a pretty stupid thing to say in response to my post.
Cheap crappy wireless keyboard by the way.
I never said you couldn't express your opinion, I just think your response was shit.

DCWoody : Well, now I know what NAT to talk to you about. I guess trying to figure out how the hell you pressed A instead of O will keep me busy for a while. Why don't you go give birth to an unwanted child or something?

DCWoody : Interesting. You are allowed to have freedom of speech, and I am not? Good one, retard.
wardy : Fair enough.
professorfuckface : That's what I ended up doing, but you'd think as the salesperson for this product, he'd be able to know that Cable and DSL are both broadband and wouldn't reply with such an asinine response. (And no, my call centre isn't in India and I'm not a curry. Curries are the A for Elephant crowd I was talking about earlier.)

I think it is your job to explain the difference between cable and dsl. You should do a line check on both and if they can get cable, tell them that is the cheaper and better option. Anyway, I thought they outsourced most of those call centres to India anyway. Are you a curry?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?
