    Life is hard, its even harder if you are any of these people.......

    Actual call centre conversations
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Customer: "I've been ringing 0700 2300 for two days and can't get
    through to enquiries, can you help?".
    Operator: "Where did you get that number from, sir?".
    Customer: "It was on the door to the Travel Centre".
    Operator: "Sir, they are our opening hours".
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    Samsung Electronics
    Caller: "Can you give me the telephone number for Jack?"
    Operator: "I'm sorry, sir, I don't understand who you are talking
    about".
    Caller: "On page 1, section 5, of the user guide it clearly
    states that I need to unplug the fax machine from the AC wall socket
    and telephone Jack before cleaning. Now, can you give me the number for
    Jack?"
    Operator: "I think you mean the telephone point on the wall".
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    RAC Motoring Services
    Caller: "Does your European Breakdown Policy cover me when I am
    travelling in Australia?"
    Operator: " Doesn't the product name give you a clue?"
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    Caller (enquiring about legal requirements while travelling in France):
    "If I register my car in France, do I have to change the steering wheel
    to the other side of the car?"
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    Directory Enquiries
    Caller: "I'd like the number of the Argoed Fish Bar in
    Cardiff please".
    Operator: "I'm sorry, there's no listing. Is the spelling
    correct?"
    Caller: "Well, it used to be called the Bargoed Fish Bar
    but the 'B' fell off".
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    Then there was the caller who asked for a knitwear company in Woven.
    Operator: "Woven? Are you sure?"
    Caller: "Yes. That's what it says on the label; Woven in
    Scotland".
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    On another occasion, a man making heavy breathing sounds from a phone
    box told a worried operator: "I haven't got a pen, so I'm steaming up
    the window to write the number on".
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    IT Support
    Tech Support: "I need you to right-click on the Open Desktop".
    Customer: "OK".
    Tech Support: "Did you get a pop-up menu?".
    Customer: "No".
    Tech Support: "OK. Right-Click again. Do you see a pop-up menu?"
    Customer: "No".
    Tech Support: "OK, sir. Can you tell me what you have done up until
    this point?".
    Customer: "Sure. You told me to write 'click' and I wrote
    'click'".
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    Tech Support: "OK. In the bottom left hand side of the screen,
    can you see the 'OK' button displayed?"
    Customer: "Wow. How can you see my screen from there?"
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    Caller: "I deleted a file from my PC last week and I have just realised
    that I need it. If I turn my system clock back two weeks will I have my
    file back again?".
    "Some people say that one's personality is reflected by the way they ride their bike........I’m screwed"

    Brilliant. I have had this before, some people just shouldnt be alive
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them

    Fault service

    Had a little old lady complain her phone cord was too long & gets caught in the door - could we pull it in a little from our end.

    ... you sure it wasn't some naughty little old lady with time on her hands and a wicked sense of humour?

    A bit like Sniper - I could write a book.

    Connected a farmhouse onto a party line & walked up the drive to test it. Didn't look like anyone was home so put my hands up to window to peer inside when walking past window. "She" was giving "him" a blowie so I proceeded to the back door & knocked as if I hadn't seen anything.
    He answered the door pissing himself with laughter & she streaked past in the background & locked herself in the loo. I was invited in where he made me a coffee & showed me where the phone was as if he wanted me to stay to embarrass her further.
