I would say some of your customers make me lose faith in humanity, but I’m pretty sure I lost all of that yeeeeeeeears ago. At best, I am saddened but unsurprised.
Trust me, I’ve seen worse. Try spending 15 minutes on the phone convincing a lady that her cordless phone will NOT change the channel on her satellite box.
No matter how long you hold down the number keys.
The 5 button is especially painful to listen to. 🙁
Try explaining to a customer (who is running a business … sheesh) that although, yes, we’ve had internet issues recently no our service being out would NOT cause all the lights to go out on her router so would she please check the power cord and quit blaming the modem. At which point she said something vulgar and disparaging about my IQ and hung up. OK, whatever …
Person on Phone: I would like to talk to so-and-so.
Me: So-and-so is on a phone call, would you like to leave them a voice mail?
PoP: I don’t have a computer or know how to do that messaging or Facebook thing.
Me: …you don’t need a computer to leave a voice mail. I can transfer you to their voice mail.
PoP: What’s a voice mail?
Me: It’s like a digital answering machine. Just leave your message and they’ll check it and get back to you. *transfer call*

Go google the words “Customers Suck”. You’ll want the second result I believe. Should be a comic.
Go on. We’ll wait. (While you’re there, somewhere on that site is a story about Vinegar Boy. It is epic and craptacular and well worth the read)

I’m familiar with that one! I’m also a fan of notalwaysright.com

Sometimes drawing these comics keeps me from doing just that.
