Ever had a call, that 10 mins in, you began to...

• Wish for something like a fire drill, emergency, alien invasion, or similar action to occur?
• Begin to wonder why people like this exist, and why they haven't annoyed someone else to the point of killing them
• Begin to look at your wrists and see slitting them as a way off the call

Sorry, today is geriatric engineer day at the ole' calculator support line.

Yeah have had those. About 10 minutes into a call yesterday we finally got past the issue the person had when I had to confirm his extension number and city. Then he got mad that I didn't already know his IP address. Told me that those things NEVER change.

I used to question who taught those type of people how to breathe

Heh... after a year or two in tech support, EVERY call becomes that.

You forgot

• Start banging your cofee mug loudly in hopes it will break so you can slit your wrists with the shards

10 min call? What's that!?

I always cut them off at the stupidity threshold... That time varies, but it's NEVER reached 10 minutes.

_MaH

ALL HAIL THE HOLD AND MUTE BUTTONS!!!

Those types of people should not be allowed to leave their protective safety bubble. I've got one on the phone right now. You get the real retards Friday night on the graveyard shift.
