"Anything else I can do for you today Sir"
On a roll here..

This phrase, used specifically by either credit card companies and or Mobile phone operators when you go to cancel. Despite the previous 5 minutes of conversation going through why you're leaving them and tying up the finalities (last bill ra ra ra) why then do they ask you if "there's anything else I can do for you ?"

Blow job ? Fan dance ? Juggle walnuts ? why else ask that fucking question when you have absolutely no intention of carrying out any further request on my part.

Especially as you are sat in a call centre in Mumbai.

Grrrr.

Grrr indeed.
They ask it because they work in call centres, because some overpaid, slack-jawed oxygen-thief with a marketing degree and minimal basic social skills has studied "vertical selling strategies in key strike-zone demographics" and decided that this is how the general public likes to be addressed, and because the aforementioned phone monkeys (among which I once counted myself, as if you hadn't fucking guessed) know that their calls can be monitored at any time, without their permission or even their knowledge, and failure to drop at least 3 of these "buzz-phrases" into any single conversation may well result in a disciplinary.

Hate the game, not the poor fuckers forced to play it.
