Ahh, Monday...

[Grape The Cat]

I wonder if the Bilingual B-tch was speaking Spanish in hopes that you wouldn't understand Spanish and she could call you racist. Since you knew Spanish she decided to call you a racist anyway because you foiled her plan.

$20 bill guy is just wow...

The third person just can't admit they made a mistake, and wants to act like you were "racist" for telling them they had a wrong number. I don't know about y'all but whenever I have a wrong number I apologize immediately and feel like a dope.

Mexican and Chinese are nationalities, not races I believe.

Was the dude with the $20 bill calling from Nunavet?? Tell Gravekeeper to keep his SCs to himself.

Nah he could actually read the numbers, Gravekeeper's SCs aren't that bright

That should be a hint that the caller wasn't from Nunavut.

However, I'm trying to mentally picture someone actually trying to send cash through the Internet.

Only way I can see that is by trying to insert the cash into the DVD drive.

And I think on that note, my brain just BSOD'd.

For a Monday, generally not too bad. There were a few memorable idiots, though.


Bilingual Bitchiness

Me: Thanks for calling [us], this is cybiko123. How can I help you?
SC: Hola? Hablas español?
Me: [repeats opening spiel in Spanish]
SC: HEY! Just because I'm Mexican doesn't mean I don't speak English! *under her breath* Racist bitch...
Me: You asked me if I spoke Spanish, so I replied in Spanish.
SC: Don't talk to me that way! *click*
Me:

Sweet action! No messing around with you cybiko-- you went straight for the jugular-- I mean Spanish.

The Tubes Can Only Handle so Much
<snip!>
SC: Yeah, a $20.
Me: Like a prepaid card?
SC: No...maybe I should try singles instead?
Me: *lightbulb* Are you trying to pay with cash on our website?
SC: Yeah...why?
Me: That's not gonna work.
SC: WHY THE HELL NOT?!
Me: ...because we can't take cash electronically. It just isn't possible.
SC: But WHY?
Me: It won't fit through the tubes. (emphasis edited)
SC: ...oh. Well, it's still YOUR fault! *click*

I love you now.

Sending... cash... over the internet.

Who the hell let 'Good Time' Charlie anywhere near a computer again???

Or one of his relatives or drinking buddies (often the same people).

I've got neighbours who would do exactly what this guy did because they've DONE it and ranted about it to anyone who couldn't get away fast enough. This is one story I have NO problem believing.

There are some nice and intelligent people around here. But there's quite a lot of nice people here too.

I can see someone doing that, but only if the credit card acceptor was already broken. Granted, you don't see these standard on comps often these days...Smaller rectangular device, with a little flap covering an opening just about 3.25 inches across...
