What a dumb a$$ !!

A friend sent me this and i thought you guys might get a kick out of how dumb someone could be !

There's always one. This guy should have been promoted, not fired !

This is a true story from the Word Perfect Helpline, which was transcribed
from a recording monitoring the customer care department. Needless to say
the Help Desk employee was fired; however, he/she is currently suing the
Word Perfect organization for "Termination without Cause". Actual dialogue
of a former WordPerfect Customer Support employee. (Now I know why they
record these conversations!):

Operator: "Ridge Hall, computer assistance; may I help you?"
Caller: "Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect."
Operator: "What sort of trouble??"
Caller: "Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went
away."
Operator: "Went away?"
Caller: "They disappeared."
Operator: "Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?"
Caller: "Nothing."
Operator: "Nothing??"
Caller: "It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type."
Operator: "Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out??"
Caller: "How do I tell?"
Operator: "Can you see the C: prompt on the screen??"
Caller: "What's a sea-prompt?"
Operator: "Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?"
Caller: "There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything
type."
Operator: "Does your monitor have a power indicator??"
Caller: "What's a monitor?"
Operator: "It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does
it have a little light that tells you when it's on??"
Caller: "I don't know."
Operator: "Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the
power cord goes into it. Can you see that??"
Caller: "Yes, I think so."
Operator: "Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged
into the wall.
Caller: "Yes, it is."
Operator: "When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were
two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one??"
Caller: "No."
Operator: "Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find
the other cable."
Caller: "Okay, here it is."
Operator: "Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the
back of your computer."
Caller: "I can't reach."
Operator: "Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is??"
Caller: "No."
Operator: "Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way
over??"
Caller: "Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle - it's because
it's dark."
Operator: "Dark??"
Caller: "Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming
in from the window."
Operator: "Well, turn on the office light then."
Caller: "I can't."
Operator: "No? Why not??"
Caller: "Because there's a power failure."
Operator: "A power...................................... A power failure?
Aha, Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals
and packing stuff your computer came in??"
Caller: "Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."
Operator: "Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just
like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you
bought it from."
Caller: "Really? Is it that bad?"
Operator: "Yes, I'm afraid it is."
Caller: "Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them??"
Operator: "Tell them you're too f*%king stupid to own a computer!!!!!"

Blimey, not sure thats real but it probably is.

Like these: http://www.witty-quotes.com/housingcomplaints_1.html

They are allegedly taken from actual housing complaint letters written to various councils.

Check this recording out as well, a friend sent me this:

Actual call from someone at British Telecom

Lol 8)
That phone call sounds like me when these a$$hole telemarketers call.
:axe: !!!!Telemarketers suck !!!! :axe:

Its kinda funny though, my buddies wife does that for a living and she tells me some relaly weird stuff that people have said and done to her.
But over here Bert there is a thing called a "Do Not Call list" . Once you put yourself on that list, if a telemarketer calls your house , you ask for the supervisor and ask the person to remove your name from the call list , by law that person has to remove you from it.
If you do not have a supervisor remove your name it is worthless.
Once you are removed from the list, if they call again you can report them to some kinda agancy and by law that company will be fined ten thousand dollars.
I will find out the name of the agency from her for those who are intersted.
But remember if you do not have a supervisor do it , the whole process is worthless.
And then you have to keep track of who calls ...it gets to be a pain in the ass.
Its much easier for me to screen my answering machine. :twisted:

We have something similar over here Intimidator only your provider puts a bar on the line that prevents telemarketers from ever reaching you.

I have a blocker on the line anyway so if someone persistently calls me when I don't want them to I just block their number, it works on withheld numbers as well.

The latter feature sure is useful for keeping dumbass ex's off the damn line.
