How many years did you go to school?

Be afraid. Very afraid. This lady is a nurse. That's right, she is legally able to give you drugs that can kill you! There's something wrong with this picture.

MaxPowers: Hello, this is Max Powers, how may I help you?
Nurse: Yes, is this [Random Medical Company]?
MP: Yes, it is.
Nurse: Oh good, I didn't know.

Now, here's the thing. To get to me you have to go through an automated system. Which states at least 3 times WHO YOU ARE CALLING! I can understand some random Joe getting confused. But you? You are paid to listen and pay attention. If a random Joe doesn't pay attention (unless he's driving) he's probably only going to hurt himself. But you? If you don't pay attention, someone could go to the morgue.

Moron.

Edit: Yeesh, 3 posts, 1 day. And the day isn't even over.

You're so clever

Crazy call from a telemarketer. I get a lot of these, so I, in general, loathe them. Now, I understand that they're just trying to do their job, and I understand that. What I don't understand is why you're so stupid.

MaxPowers: Thank you for calling [Some Company], how can I help you?
Telemarketer: Can I speak to the person in charge of advertising?
MP: They're not available, I can take a message. (Note: This is my standard greeting, I say this, oh, 9000 times a day)
TM: Can I get the name of the person who's in charge of that?
MP: I'm not sure, but noone's available, so I can take a message.
TM: Is this the manager or owner?
MP: What? No.

Now here's what baffles me. I do not know who is in charge of advertising, and I don't. Seriously. Like most accounts, I have little to no information on this company. So what would possibly make you think THAT I'M A MANAGER? What the heck? I figure it's either one of 2 things:

1)You think I'm lying to you. Clever, but wrong.

2)You're an idiot.

I'll take number 2 for a 1,000 Alex

Haven't I done this before?

I think I've tried this whole blog thing before. It didn't work. I didn't type anything. But that was before I started to see other blogs of people who hate humanity as much as me. As a whole, we're not so bad, the problem is with the blithering idiots who should not be allowed out of their cages, much less given enough freedom to pick up a phone.

You see, I work for a small answering service. And although the names, can, and probably will be changed, all of the stories I put here will be true. And that means that as a society, we're in a lot of trouble. Because I deal with everybody, from doctors, to mechanics, to a trash company, and they all suck. Which means this stupidity is not within a select group of humanity, oh no, it's spreading. And we are so screwed.
