Brain-to-mouth filter broken

[Cloudy Sky]

Stupid Customer : I just checked my *smurfing* bill - and I have *smurfing* long distance charges on my bill. I don't call long distance. Take these *doggone* charges off!!

Me Let me take a look at those charges...hmm...okay sir these appear to be legit charges, over several days and as legit charges they cannot be credited.

SC You *guys* didn't notify me that these were *smurfing* long distance. Since you didn't notify me that the *doggone* number I called was *smurfing* long distance, I expect you to give me my *smurfing* money back!

Me Umm. Well sir, you DO have notice since you had to dial a '1" in front of the number,

sc That's not a *smurfing*warning! You *smurfing* *guys* should let me know before I make a *smurfing* call that it is long distance!

Me (this is when my filter malfunctions) I'm sorry sir, *company* has many wonderful qualities, but I'm afraid being psychic and knowing before you make a call that it is going to be long distance isn't one of them.

SC ........

Me Is there anything else i can help you with?

SC No. never mind. *click*

After my supervisor finished laughing, she told me to never say that again. I love my supervisor.

That was beautiful Wish I could have been a fly on the wall in that guy's room... just to see his expression

[fireheart]

Can I just say....




I bow down to those who brain-to-mouth filters are broken.

[Apathy]

Excellent. Well done and good work.

That guy sure likes smurfs and dogs.

[Evil Queen]

Yes, there we go, curse at the only person that can help you. What a good idea! :sarcasm:

FACE! *

Honestly, long distance would be the absolute last thing to complain about when it comes too fees and especially hidden fees. Anyone buy a car or subscribe to comcast lately?

That was incredible! I wish I was there to hear it!!!

[Bramblerose]

I'm more worried that someone is old enough to pay bills and doesn't know about long distance. Get the shock tablets, we need to tend the gene pool.

And what would this goombah done in the old days when there was local, short, and long distance? the horrors!

re the mind-reading, I'm sorry, but you're wrong. According to Lily Tomlin "We are the phone company. We are omnipotent." Of course, that was Ma Bell. Maybe the trait went with teh break-up?

Who doesn't?

Well done. Having worked in the phone field .. you're exactly right. Dialing 1 beforehand is designed specifically to signify a long distance call.
