Our modem has been down for three days. Yes, three days, which means every single credit card and check that people present had to be called in. Well, we finally get the solution to our problem today, with the wonderful tech guy walking me through it on the phone after our new modem came in. The call took a while because I kept being interrupted by Mr. Amazing Super Stupid Fun Time Idiot Question Guy.
So here's the question: When someone is on the phone, does that automatically compell you to ask inane questions over and over again after I've told you repeatedly to please hold on one minute while I finish the call? Because that's what this complete sack of moron did.
This guy was the only person in the store. So as I'm halfway under the counter trying to find the phone jack, he leans over and asks, "Is this game any good?" I lean up, phone to my ear. "I'm sorry sir, I don't own a PSP so I don't know, but if you'll hold on one minute I'll try and help you pick something out when I'm off the phone."
He nods and goes back to the wall. And half a minute later after I've crawled back under, speaking in an audible voice to the tech on the phone: "What about this one?"
"Sir, if you'll just give me a minute I'll be with you. I'm fixing our modem and I need to hear what our tech is saying so that I can take debit cards and checks."
He nods, and wanders off again. In the span on five minutes, rinse-fucking-repeat. At least ten times. I counted. At one point the tech, who could hear my conversation and what Idiot was asking, asked, "Is that guy serious?"
Now, if you're having a real problem of if you're in a hurry I can understand needing my help immediately; in that case, I would have asked the tech to please hold on, as much as I wouldn't like doing that because I didn't want to waste his time (figuring he had other calls to make.) But when you're lazily wandering around the store in circles, picking up anything that happens to touch your greasy little stupid fingers just to ask me "Did you like this game? Is this game any good?" then you can royally fuck off until I'm done fixing something vital to our POS.
Ugh.
