Jerkus Interruptus

I have a little sympathy for the guy who called about his mom with dementia. In that situation, you are desperate and willing to try just about anything. A lot of families are reluctant to get the police involved because they're afraid the state will accuse them of neglect.

Of course, after 12 hours I would darn sure be calling the police.

Store Wars: The Farce Awakens

Ok, let me guess this straight: You work at a <red checkmark> store. Earlier this week, you sold the customer the wrong kind of phone, changed their grandfathered plan by mistake AND added a line to their account they didn't want.

You managed to fix the wrong phone snafu but now you want me to:

fix everything under YOUR number so I still get the commissions for the fraud I committed and have probably committed several times.

FTFY

Must listen: We've found the real Bastard Operator From Hell

[Seanette]

I was feeling too headachy to listen to the audio, but I think I love these guys.

[Ironclad Alibi]

I wish I could have that on my home phone for the telemarketers.

That guy - that guy interrupting you with all those fucking outrageous demands - that guy is someone I would laugh at, long and hard, and hang up on.

I think I'd just stop talking and sit silently. You let me know when you're gonna let me say something, buddy. I'm getting PAID to sit here.

I wish I could have that on my home phone for the telemarketers.

I would love to use this as the voicemail greeting on my land line! Truly. Evil. Genuis.

Must listen: We've found the real Bastard Operator From Hell

I listened to it over the weekend. "Your call is important to ... ... ... us."

That it repeats eternally, and restarts the loop if you press any key is perfect. Extension 666 FTW!

SC: Phone! Phone Broke! Need new phone!

SC should have allocated more S.P.E.C.I.A.L. points towards his Intelligence stat. But isn't that true of most SC's?

[EricKei]

Maybe he's doing one of those low-Int playthroughs so he can get the "special" dialogue responses from all of us NPCs!

Are you playing one of the Fallout games? I'm playing number 3.

[EricKei]

Not recently, IA The low-Int thing works for most of the games in the series, though.

For those unfamiliar -- If you set your character's Intelligence stat to 3 (out of 10) or below during character creation, most of the in-game NPCs will recognize your character's...how shall I put this?...unusual nature. In other words, their dialogue, your own dialogue choices, will reflect this. The downside is that it will cut off a number of quests simply because the NPCs figure you can't handle them. Long story short, ever read Of Mice and Men? They'll treat you like Lenny.
