customer: what do you MEAN, you don't keep backups of email? this is important stuff!
me: well, if you purposely deleted a message and then found out that we still had a copy of it, you would be just as mad.
customer: THAT'S NOT TRUE
me: yes, it is.
customer: YOU GUYS SUCK

Another call: A lady called to cancel her DSL account, and I told her she had to send the DSL router back to us. She got pissed. I read off the terms of service to her, which says we charge $399 for unreturned equipment (which we don't, but it's funny to see how people react).

lady: you guys suck
me: sorry for sucking, but you still have to send it back.
lady: FINE, what is the address?
me: 10 mechanic st..
lady: (sassing tone) RIGHT, and I'm supposed to know how to spell THAT?
me: um, actually, yes.
lady: WELL SPELL IT FOR ME
me: ..mechanic? like a car mechanic?
lady: SPELL IT.

Yes, ma'am, that's "f-u, c-k, y-o-u-r, s-e-l-f." Shall I repeat that?

God. Customers.

Oh sure, they want you to archive every single mail, so you might as well keep backups of all the SPAM too, i mean it is THEIR email, I can't see why that should be excluded from backup :)

No wait, then they'll bitch about endless spam and how the "same stuff" keeps bouncing in their inbox, even after deleting it....
