Thank you for calling ISP! We appreciate your business! Please press 1 to continue in English.

Thank you! There is an approximate 5 minute wait to talk to an ISP customer service representative. Please hold for the next available representative. *Lather rinse repeat*

"Thank you for calling ISP! My name is Celyste! How may I help you?"
"uhhh... is this SomeOtherCompany?"
"No it isn't. I'm sorry."

I did actually look up SomeOtherCompany's phone number for him. Anyone who went all the way through the phone tree without knowing who he was calling was obviously too dumb for me to sign up. What if I'd ever had to tell him how to reset his stack or something? *L*

My company has a menu somewhat similar to that one. One day I answered the phone ("Thanks for calling ISP, this is me, how can I help you?"), and the guy on the other end said, "Uh, I think I have the wrong number."

We have the same woman calling us. Only she's asking for Immigration Services.

We get those. Our helpdesk number is one digit off from the local electric company, and also from a bank. People wade through our IVR and then start spewing their account details at me when I answer.

"What am *I* going to do about it? I'm going to suggest you learn how to dial a phone number." *click*

I had one of those once... guy came thorugh and yelled for 5 minutes straight (I was impressed... he wouldn't even take a long enough breath to interrupt. He was so taken aback when I finally got to tell him that he had dialled and yelled at the wrong person *L* I was amused.
