I can handle any of the following during a call:

1) Extremely thick foreign accent
2) Extremely distorted phone audio
3) Very idiosyncratic use of English in general and tech English in particular
4) Fundamental conceptual misunderstanding of how elements of a system work
5) Unrealistic expectations as to what the system can or will do
6) A "that's completely unacceptable" attitude when I try to remedy 4) and 5)

Just not all at once. Jesus fscking X .. not to mention having to concentrate so hard on what the angry idiot is saying that there's no chance in hell of me writing *any* case notes during the call.

(I called him back on a wired phone, somewhat better on the audio distortion. Didn't help with the insane Spanglish.)

"that's completely unacceptable"

"Weither you accept it or not, that's reality. I, personally, live in reality, and believe it or not, so do you."

Oh dear.

I have problems with any two-combo out of heavy accent/bad connection/Not Technical.

Gotta love the "it's completely unacceptable" crowd, specially when it's a feature that their model does not have and the model that costs 2x as much does.
