I hate when you ask a question...for instance where I work.
Meh:Can I do such and such thing?
Assorted Member of Mangement:I'll have to find out about that...I'll let you know
*days go by I ask another person*
Meh:I asked so and so if I can do such and such...but I can't get an anwer...
Another Assorted Member of Magnement:I'll have to find out about that...I'll let you know
I'd just rather have a yes or no answer...is it that hard???
They either need me to do more then I already do or they don't!
*argh!*
(Don't mind meh I'm a bit unstable...)

Unfortunatly the game of life is very hard,
the secret to it is: Its their job to make sure you NEVER get the right answer you want until maybe 6 to 8 months pass, I found that out through trying to settle the account of my late grandfather, It has been a year and three quarters and they still haven't answered my questions,  and don't worry about being unstable, come see me at 7 AM without something without more then 10 teaspoons of sugar, or something with coffee in it, _____________________

We can all be unstable together! Maybe there's solace in that. _____________________

I have a variation on this:
Buy lots of songs for iTunes. Upgrade to iTunes 6. Buy video from iTunes. Play video. Reboot computer later. Start iTunes. Try to play any songs or video, get -208 error message. Contact Apple's email support for their store (no phone number). Wait 5 days. Get form letter that does not address problem. Rinse. Repeat. Call Apple's phone number. Get to the iTunes help, and be asked for iPod serial number. Be told there is a $49.99 charge you don't own an iPod. Tell customer service rep to shove iPod up her ass and hang up. Rinse. Repeat. _____________________

From the customer support agent's pov:
meh: How may I help you? customer: *much whinning and griping about his hack case/suspension for the first five minutes* meh: *blah blah, tells him that according to our policy, we can't do anything...blah blah...tries to offer an alternative solution. customer: *cries and screams for the next five minutes* meh: I'm sorry to hear that you quit work, your wife divorced you and everything just to play our game. However we can not process your complaint.. blah blah blah (inside head: go read our TOS, stupid) cusotomer: *swears and calls my mother a prostitute and threatens to sue* meh: (inside head: go ahead and try it, bub) *tries to placate customer even when ear has almost gone deaf. customer: *slams the phone* meh: *still does ending spiel in a pleasant voice* Rinse Repeat I can't believe I had to do that shit for almost a year and a half. Thankfully i don't anymore.  And I couldn't be happier. _____________________

From the customer support agent's pov... I always find it a bit ammusing in a sad way when people fly off the handle on the phone, and when they threaten physical violence, though they really have no way of pulling off said ass-kicking, being they are 5 states away  And also, if you want a rinse-repeater, try calling the college I almost went to. Turns out all the cliches about the run-around touch-tone web of "for [blank] please press [blank], for [blank] please press [blank] please leave a message, we'll call you back, or press [blank] to [blank] (starts over)." ... all the cliches, well, this is where they originated. Oh, and no... they never ever call you back. _____________________

Oh, and no... they never ever call you back. True! Right now after that experience, I know how to terrify and get the service promptly. It does pay to know your ene--ahem, the people you have to deal with. But of course, I never get that bad it unless they trully really piss me off with bad service. I had one horrible experience with the problem being solved not by an trouble shooting agent but by someone from IT who gave me one of the agent's 'spiels'. It worked but not after three days of near constant harassment did i get the solution. (The IT guy had to handle the call since the agent didn't know what to do). I had a very long and angry talk with their "Team Leader" and their lack of training for their agents. The only good thing i got out of that besides a fixed internet connection is that I had some stress relief. I was PMSing at that time.. _____________________

Students....
10-21-2005 01:59
Ok, not all of them.
Example of a conversation I had yesterday whilst manning the service desk: Student: I wanna renew these books plz Me: Ok, lets have a look *taps away*, Sorry, but you cannot renew that one, it has a reservation placed on it by another student, and its overdue by a week anyway, so you also have a £1 fine, I can, however, place a reservation on it for you, so that when its back in again, you may have it. Student: What? I need that book, I just won't return it Me: That really isn't an option, its due back, and its reserved, and I cannot renew your other books while you have an overdue reserved book. Student: Well who's reserved it, someone on my course? Me: I cannot tell you that, i'm afraid Student: OH THIS IS RIDICULOUS, I NEED THIS BOOK FOR MY DISSERTATION Me: I really am sorry, there are 4 of thse books in the library, the next one is due back in 2 days, and you would be the next person reserving one. Student: But I NEED it. Me: Ok, lets put it this way, you need this book, as does the other person that has a reservation on it, if you desperately needed a book, and another student refused to bring it back on time, wouldn't you be the tiniest bit upset? Student: OH FINE, TAKE THE BOOK *throws book at me and stomps off* This library is the WORST library EVER!!!!! (mumbling as shes going through the barriers) _____________________
