Next person who interrupts me on the phone

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

while I'm trying to spit out my greeting is going to get my foot shoved so far up their ass that they'll be spitting out Nike Swooshes for the next 3 weeks! For the love of Christ, NOTHING IS SO IMPORTANT THAT YOU CAN'T WAIT 3 SECONDS FOR ME TO FINISH SPEAKING! HAVE SOME COURTESY YOU MOTHERFUCKING JACKASSES! :nuke: :grr: :nuke: :grr: :nuke: :grr: :nuke: :grr: :nuke: :grr: :nuke: :grr: :nuke: :grr: :nuke: :grr: :nuke: :grr: :nuke: :grr: :nuke: :grr: :nuke: :grr: :nuke: :grr: :nuke: :grr: :nuke: :grr: :nuke: :grr: :nuke: :grr: :nuke: :grr: :nuke: :grr:

1. Um...OK....

<Backing away slowly....>

Actually, I understand what you're saying. People at the hotel do the same thing when I answer the phone.

And then have the audacity to sit there and say things like, "I don't know what I want." or "I haven't looked at the menu".

Then WHY are you calling me?

2. Maybe you need to shorten your greeting a bit

I had your problem because company policy was to say the name of the department followed by your name (no, mine, not yours) and "May I help you".

I've considerably shortened that. My new greeting:

WHAT!!!!!!!

4. See, I'm moving on to a modified version of that

"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT AND WHY ARE YOU BOTHERING ME!??"

7. It's okay

You're cool - you can interrupt me whenever you want. :pals:

5. What's your phone number?

:evilgrin:

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

6. 1-877-865-2468

Ask for "Chrissy" :evilgrin:

Points for anyone who googles that.

[WillParkinson]

9. I like Rachel better...

Chrissy reminds me too much of 3's Company.

8. Just talk over the assholes

This one women came in and kept repeating the extension number of the party she wanted to see, so I pointedly acted like I didn't hear her and looked up the number, anyway.

She was an FSC, anyway.


(FSC= Fucking Supplemental Contractor)

10. I totally wish I could

Unfortunately, these people pay us a LOT of money. I just need to get out of these duties, period. It sucks being low man on the totem pole. We need to hire a fucking receptionist once and for all.
