It's true..

I have to make these calls during the night shift, to north america.. and I always call the canadians on my list first. Why? Because so far, they've been always cheerfull and helpfull when I've called. Always had the time to answer my questions if I have reached them.. and always, always known the correct phone etiquette.. :P

Good thing I dont need to call to Finland. If the calls we get from there are any implication on their etiquette skills.

    Do you have business partners with IBM there? hehe.

    I used to do telemarketing and believe me, I can understand why you wouldn't want to call Americans. Very little can irritate an American faster than a call from a stranger. We're such a-holes over here.

    You were a telemarketer? Now I must kill you.

    Lately I don't even get telemarketers, I get prerecorded messages that play onto my answering machine. I used to answer the phone like so "FBI Hostage Rescue, Division 117 LT. Mike Mckonhugh." Sometimes they say hey you guys are doing a great job keep up the good work. Other times I've gotten people who just shout at me, YOUR NOT A FEDERAL AGENT!

    And if you really wanna scare em ask em if they have a clearance code.

    Telemarketer? Fuck no! I'd rather hang myself from my third testicle!

    No.. I have to call these IBM business partners to ask how they feel about some service or whatnot that IBM pays for some other company to provide.

    And I am not calling any "regular" people.. these are salesmen.. so they deserve all the shit they be getting. :P

    Heh, it paid $11 an hour which, in the year 1999 wasn't something to sneeze at, and worked easily around school schedules so it attracted a lot of students who needed money.

    But yeah it was a joke. I went home crying more than once because people could be so unbelievable evil, such as calling me every disgusting cuss word in the book and getting very personal. To me, doing something horrible like that to a caller is the same as punching a cashier in the face because something rang up the wrong price. I've been a cashier for 7 years at various places and I can tell you how little power we have over our jobs and what we're made to do if we want to keep our jobs. It's ridiculous. I still get annoyed if I get a telemarketer, but I'm always polite because I know how much is being forced on them by their bosses. If you don't believe me, I can give you pages of examples of things done to me.

    I hate it when the same company calls over and over about something wrong with my car.
    I can't drive. I have no car. Quit calling!
