Numbers is hard.

Customer: The TV is on again.
Me: OK, go to channel three for me.
Customer: Tree? What?
Me: THREE.
Customer: I don’t know what that is.
Me: You don’t know what the number three is?
Customer: (sigh) I know what a TREE is.
Me: No, three.
Customer: T-R-E-E?
Me: T-H-R-E-E.
Customer: Three?
Me: Yes.
Customer: Three what?

And around we go!

[Jaden]

Maybe it's somethign you wear every day that brings out the stupid in everyone? I'l never understand where you get all the crazies from, PJ :D

[Tito]

Phone Jockey, how do you maintain your sanity? All the stupid people of the world must have your direct work line, or something.

Yeah, it's a lifeform significantly more intelligent than this customer is! :eek:

They are getting more idiotic every day. I fear for the future of the human species.

[chantal]

:D Ah, Phone Jockey, what would I do without you? Your stories are always good for a giggle.

[toolbert]

I'm kinda interested in that channel tree...is it like...all bark all the time? if so that'd be sweet!

[ShockQueen]

I had no idea they cloned those freak magnets so widely! And here I thought our place was the only one that got all those who so badly needed to be cleaned out of the gene pool. Your stories sound like those I hear every day! :D

[Brighid45]

Ye gods, PJ. I don't know how you keep your sanity with these gene pool rejects, other than to tell us about them.

[karma_gypsy]

Boy he sounds like a real winner . . . don't you ever just get tired of arguing with people and just say, "yes, channel tree, turn you tv to channel tree . . ." and see what they say? :rolleyes:

Oh God!

IT'S OUR NAMETAGS!

That's the only logical explanation. :D

[Phone Jockey]

OH yes, these ppl must write my direct # on the bathroom walls so the idiots get me directly. That's not to say my co-workers don't get the morons too, but I seem to get them more often. What does that say about me??

[MadMike]

OH yes, these ppl must write my direct # on the bathroom walls so the idiots get me directly.

Oh, crap! She's onto us! HIDE! :eek:

[Phone Jockey]

Oh, crap! She onto us! HIDE! :eek:

I knew it! MadMike is the ringleader, isn't he? :eek:

[AmericanZero8503]

Oh God!

IT'S OUR NAMETAGS!

That's the only logical explanation. :D

Agreed...stupid people see a nametag and they begin to swarm.

[TequilaSunrise]

I <3 Phone Jockey. :love:

Thank you. That is all.

[Ducky]

Ah, the good ol' days of being in customer service. I was working in a customer service call center for a car loan company for a couple of years, and calls like that were very common, especially among senior citizens. Needless to say, I do not miss those days at all.

[protege]

Oh, crap! She's onto us! HIDE! :eek:

*fires up the CS bus and lays rubber outta here*

:devil:

[ShoresKoC]

Me: Press the Menu button on your remote

Him: I dont have that button.

Me: Yes, you do. Upper left of the arrows, above the mute button.

Him: Oh, ok

Me: Now press 6, then Select

Him: I dont have that button.

Me: Yes, you do. RIght in the middle of all those arrows.

Him: oh, ok

Me: Now press 1. Now press Select

Him: I dont have that button.

Me: Yes, you do! We just pressed it! Middle of the arrows.

Him: Oh, ok

me: Now press 1 again.

Him: I dont have that button

Me: ......


15 min phone call to get 10 buttons pressed. I'm about to start telling people "ok, here's how your going to fix your tv. Take the receiver, put it in a box and mail it back to us" "are you going to send me a new one?" "no... you're just too damn stupid to own this equipment. Have a nice day!"

[Phone Jockey]

Shores, I totally understand your frustration. I once had a guy ask for our web address & then tell me his internet page didn't have an address bar on it. Right. He then proceeded to tell me that he didn't have an ENTER key on his keyboard. Yeah, he was that ridiculous.

I <3 Phone Jockey. :love:

Uh, I love you too? :confused:

[LostMyMind]

He then proceeded to tell me that he didn't have an ENTER key on his keyboard. Yeah, he was that ridiculous.
:potstir: Where is this so call "ENTER" key while you're at it where the hell is the "ANY" key. :ducks incoming rocks:

P.S. I usually say to those that say they don't have "ENTER" key, "Ok, press the "RETURN" key." Once upon a time, some keyboards were made with "RETURN" instead of "ENTER". But if they're using a computer that old, :runaway:

P.S.S. If you're feeling :devil:, tell them to press Ctrl-M. If you're feeling really :devil:, tell them to hold the alt key and press 013.
