Just when I think they can't get any dumber...

Klytus: Thank you for calling the [company name] Service Desk.
User: Yes, I'm having trouble saving a contract.
K: Ok, what kind of problem are you having?
U: Well, when I try to save it, I get an error: "Enter a start date that is previous to the end date". What does that mean?
K: ::blinks:: Um... could you check the Start Date and End Date on the contract for me, please?
U: Well, it says Start Date 8/1/2005 and the End Date is 1/31/2005.
K: Well, that would be your problem, then.
U: I'm sorry?
K: ::lets it sink in::
U: Oh!
K: Have a nice day... *click* ::deep, long suffering sigh::

To frighten you even more...

Remember, these mouth breathing rejects from a snot-rocket factory have drivers licenses and company issued vehicles. They are on the same roads that we drive on...

And they get paid a FUCK of a lot more than we do.

Motherfuckers.

I console myself by remembering that at 4:00pm, we throw down the headsets and forget everything about the job for 16 hours.

After they've made their calls and drive for 3 hours to get back home, their day is JUST beginning. Muahaha.

It gets worse... I was actually being generous in this re-telling. I actually had to explain to her that January comes before August...
