You're NOT outsourced?

[draggar]

From my days of doing phone tech support.

Me: (Me)
SC: Sucky Caller

Me: Thank you for calling tech support how can I help you?
SC: That's a good job on the accent! That's the best I've heard!
Me: Huh? What do you mean?
SC: Well, aren't you outsourced:
Me: Nope. Now, how can I help you?
SC: Aren't you in India, or China, or some third world country?
Me: No sir, I am in New Jersry.
SC: NEW JOIZEE?
Me: Yes, New Jersey. Now, how can I help you?
SC: YOUZ IN NEW JOIZEE?

I swear, customers like that I wish I could just hang up and blame it on someone else. Except I'm the only one who does tech support/ C.S, so I'd have to make up imaginary people to blame it on. Hmmmm...I wonder if that would work.

No, we don't talk like that in Jersey.

You go across the Hudson for that kind of speech. :D

Though some of my WoW buddies have ridiculed me for saying chocolate as "choawwclate." So I suppose that some of it did slip across.

[squeaky]

HAH, I probably would have fallen out of my chair laughing had I recieverd a call like that.

[ShortTemperHatesStupidity]

So wait, he was first confused and upset that you weren't outsourced, then he appears to get all indignant because you're not only not outsourced, but are located in a (U.S.) state that is synonymous with a thick accent?

What an arsehat!

[draggar]

I an imitate an Indian accent very well, maybe I should have said "please old" put on the accent, then answer it back as if it was a new call. :)

[Simply Amazed]

Man: *laughing too* Yanno, you usually get a machine when calling for these things.



What I always say at this point is "well, I can certainly make you feel more comfortable.. BEEEEEEEP!!!"

This one has always gone over very well so far.

I had some rude jerk ask me if he'd called "Alabammy" or "Georgie" (yup) one time. I told him that he had reached North Carolina. It suddenly became "North Cackalacky." *sigh* He was calling from WisCANsin, btw.

He was calling from WisCANsin, btw.

The time when I encountered the biggest annoyance telling people who called what state I was in was during the whole 2000 election fiasco.

Caller: Where are you located?

Me: Sunny Florida

Caller: FLORIDA?? Why can't you get your *bleep* together?

Me: Umm I don't actually count ballots sir




But to every caller that mentioned the 2000 election, the whole recount/Bush won/Gore won etc etc etc was my fault personally. Kind of proud that I single handedly ruined an election :lol:
