Is there anything else I can help you with?

[AquaGirl]

Dear customers,

The above phrase is meant to gently advise you that as we both seem to feel that I have resolved your issue to your satisfaction, our time together is drawing to a close. I am asking you this question to give you the opportunity to tell me that I am incorrect and you are not satisfied, or that you have additional questions about this or another issue. I am not asking you this question so you can say no and then when I thank you for calling and wish you good day, suddenly hit me with a barrage of questions in a tone that suggests I have somehow rudely rebuffed you by ending the call prematurely. I can still help you but I now have proof that

A) you never listen to me (so why ask me questions, really?)
B) you are an idiot

[Raveni]

C) All of the above.

[Dilorenzo]

D) Monkeys.

What? They answer is always Monkeys. Well, sometimes Egg.

[ViolaPlayer]

Sometimes the answer is 42.

[Kogarashi]

Sometimes the answer is 42.

Yes, but what's the question?

[RootedPhoenix]

Monkeys + Eggs = 42.

*nods sagely*

[Ironclad Alibi]

Yes, but what's the question?

Therein lies the problem.

It can also mean that we haven't resolved the problem but that what you're asking for is unreasonable and I am done talking about this particular problem. If you have anything else then we can talk about it but it is not an invitation to re-hash the (now) closed issue.

And you know I hate asking that question when I know they're still mad because they have to say, "well, you didn't help me!" I have to ask that question. Id like to say, "well, I helped you to the best of my ability but I can't help stupid."

[Jay 2K Winger]

Yes, but what's the question?

We apologize for the inconvenience.

"well, I helped you to the best of my ability but I can't help stupid."

Wouldn't you just about give your soul sometimes to be able to say that?

I dunno about my soul. Maybe someone else's, though.

As Ron White so astutely put it: "You can't fix stupid."

That always makes me cringe too...but yeah, I have to ask. At least by that time they're usually about to hang up on me
