oooeeer
Whilst perusing the incessant "last posts" of this QOTW I just received a call from HM Revenue and Customs, unfortunately as the chap on the other end said "Hello I'm calling from HMRC" my mobile decided to cut out on me.

He probably thought to himself, "Rude bastard, I'll just make a note on his account.... RECOMEND FULL RUBBER GLOVE AND LUBE AUDIT"

there are some call centres that you shouldn't piss off, even by accident.

Calling pretty much any call centre on behalf of Dad....
"Hi, I'm calling on behalf of my father who is deaf so cannot use the phone."

"Ok sir, I just need to speak with the account holder to confirm that."

"Ok, well you can speak to him but he won't hear you."

"Why not?"

"He's deaf."

"So can I speak to him?"

????


At this point I generally signal to my Dad to just say "Yes" down the phone then continue the call myself.

Sky
"I'd like one of those free Sky+ boxes you give to new customers please, I've been with you 9 years."

"Sorry, new customers only. You can have one for £99 plus £65 installation."

"I see..... I'd like to cancel my sky subscription please."

"Why do you want to cancel?"

"Because I want a free Sky+ box."

"OK, would you stay if we give you the box for free and only charge you £15 for installation?"

"Yes, that's why I called."

"OK, we can deliver it on Thursday."


The above conversation is the much abridged version that avoids explaining the same concept to 5 different departments over the course of an hour.

The box was actually for my Dad who is deaf, hence couldn't use the phone and wanted Sky+ to be able to record programmes with the subtitles and play them back slow enough to read all the text.
The things I do for my Dad sometimes.

Conservatories
I'd always wanted a conservatory, still do in fact, but I've never been in a position to afford one unfortunately.

Anyway, I was at home one hot sunny day thinking how nice it would have been to have a conservatory so I could sit out in it and relax on one of my hard earned days off.

*ring ring*

What a stroke of luck, not only for the cold caller but for me too, it was a well known double glazing company....

Me: "No I'm not too intersted in double glazing thanks, but do you happen to "do" conservatories"

I could hear the cold callers voice raise an octave or two in joy. I discussed at length that I'd always liked one, nothing too fancy, plastic roof, double glazing. It would ned to be reasonably soundproofed too, as I live(d) close to a main road, it was all doable. Excellent stuff thought I, gazing out of the window at nature in all its bright and beautiful glory, I asked him one last question:

"How easy is it to attach a conservatory to a second floor flat ?"

At this point he hung up, though I was very keen to get one or at least a quote, and thought I'd be the envy of chavsville if I had a conservatory batoned on to the side of my little flat. If only it was viable, I was serious for the most part, if not only brought on by a hot sunny day and an overwhleming sense of boredom. And yet I was still quite proud of myself for that.

I work in IT support and one user had complained that someone had stolen her keyboard. It's pretty diffcult as the cases we use have the cables clamped in, so I went through to her room, pulled the shelf out on the computer desk (with the keyboard on) and walked out.

"oh."
