I love talking to huge corporations. I love being on hold for long periods of time. I love hearing it when a billing manager doesnt feel like talking to you.. I love it when im told - HEY WE DID YOU A FAVOUR!

Some of you might be wondering what the hell im talking about - Im talking about my experience with Linden Labs this morning...

Anyone else.. wanna share their " Please Hold" Stories.

Press 1 - to speak to someone that doesnt know
Press 2 - to speak to someone that doesnt care

Next - i tackle the IRS. Booyah!

That could be a good sign.. perhaps they are making every effort to find a Linden that actually FEELS like talking to a customer.

.. talking.. screwing .. whatever...

Although it cant be hard to find one that will screw you .. they managed to screw us pretty well..

Dont get me wrong - I've never complained about Linden Labs before - but then again I've never had a problem like this before..

I love the irony of that robotic pre-recorded voice cooing "Your call is important to us..."

Always hit "0", then act like you were connected to the wrong department when an operator/phone bank person answers.

I try and view it like a quest. Keep punching buttons until I actually find a human.

I was on a call with Dell tech support the other day (no not my PC..I would never buy a Dell) for almost 3 hours before the tech, who had an incredibly thick accent, asked if he could put me on hold (for about the 50th time) and instead, hung up on me.

I called back and hand to start all over with a new tech. But at least this one knew what she was doing and was actually understandable.

Not really the same thing, but I used to call Pizza Hut delivery in Sydney and pretend I was a lebanese man who wanted to pick up his car...

Siggy.

I must have gotten nearly same guy as you David, or some guy from the cellar,
Was trying to get a Nice bacon cheese pizza, and Got Dell Tech support instead,

"Tech support: Hello! Helloooo! I haven't left my station in 3 years my pay wage is 3 dollars a year! My underarms are crying horrible tears!"

"Me: Pizza hut? O.o"

"Tech Support: I need a wife for my 32 children!"

"Me: uhh my peice of paper said 310-10-10...so did the comercial, and the one before that, Can you patch me through to Pizza hut?"

"Tech support: HOLY ALLAH! my cow ex is stealing my car!!!"

"Me: Exuse me I must have the wrong number,"

"Tech support: Noooo! don't leave me! I will make you a very rich Woo'ing man!"

"Me: uhhhh......Look over there! Allah!"

"Tech Support: No! Come back Allah! I need yoooouuu *voice fades *"

And thats where I hung up, >.>

That was a real phone call to Pizza hut, makes me wish I had a FBI phone Tap,
