Even better is after you've waited all that time you get an agent from India who doesn't understand English well enough to understand your requests. After trying for several minutes with no success you finally ask the person to transfer you to someone who might understand you. Back onto hold for another 20 minutes for the next agent from India who barely understands English. I have no prob with phone center jobs going over seas, but only if everybody can understand each other.

Heh. I had to deal with Air India recently. They spoke better english than the call centers for the American Airlines. Go Figure.

Its like when you call SBC for DSL problems.

I call, tell him that "I can't upload"...meaning "I can browse sites, but I cannot open my email etc."

He gives me his trouble shooting....it doesn't work.

We try again...it doesn't work.

He tries to tell me nothing is wrong. I had to explain that I can't upload....

He gives me the troubleshooting again....I explain to him that doesn't work.

I was about to flip out because he could not understand what I was trying to tell him. So I told him rather politely, "can you please get me someone else, no offense to you, but you are incapable or understanding my problem"

The manager and I figured out the problem...it was my router....it was too old.

Oh god...this kind of stuff nearly drives me to violence. For my ticket to SA, I scrounge up a deal through sidestep.com via Orbitz.com. I purchased my September ticket the first week of June, and ofcourse it HAS to be a paper ticket and the only means that Orbitz offers in the way of shipping is 2 day Fed Ex (30 bucks) or overnight Fed Ex (25 bucks). GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK! It is June, I don't need the goddamn thing until September. Strap the sucker to the back of a fucking turtle and point it towards Seattle for all that I care!!!!!! Two days after I get the ticket, Orbitz emails to say that my flight has been changed (well I am SOOO relieved that they bothered to rush my paper ticket for a now invalid trip!) but they don't say what it is...just that I have to call Orbitz. I call and a very nice man with a horribly thick accent who is NOT getting what I am asking about is my saving grace. I am not entirely sure if what he told me is correct, but I was so pissed off trying to talk to him that I just needed to hang up. Bad things were about to happen.

And the automated systems are just as bad. If the room is not perfectly silent behind you, you NEVER get ANYTHING accomplished.

Slow day huh?

So, like, are you going to be in a courtroom and shit when you are done with the Bar?



Just wondering so we can all start a fund for Girlski "get out of jail for contempt" card.

[grrrr]

I can't wait till she shows the judge her panties.

Even better is after you've waited all that time you get an agent from India who doesn't understand English well enough to understand your requests .

But they always seem to introduce themselves as Bill, Steve, Susan or some other basic American first name. Classic.

Now THAT'S funny!

Many of the call centers have a several week training class on "America". They pick a name and home city, watch Seinfeld and some sports games, etc. Just the best parts.

What's really sad is when they speak absolutely perfect Proper English, but have no fucking idea how to understand it. It's like talking to a wall. Next time this happens I'm going to start talking in Spanish.

Me: "Chupa mi verga y su madre es una perra."

Indian agent: "You can't get email? Is that correct, sir?"
