I’ve dealt with three different customer (no) service reps today and none of them were worth the time I had to spend with then. We have an epidemic of incompetence in this country. I’m giving it the name of dickheaditis. This also explains how Obungler got elected to a second term. On the upside, I think I’ve got the HOA off my ass for a few weeks.
We’re doomed!
HEY! You can’t blame customer no-service on anyone in this country. They all work in call centers in India and the Philippines,
Actually they were all in the US.
Could you name the company they work for Denny?
Bet it the “VA”.
Nope. I’ve actually had good luck with the VA.
Please elaborate.
Dickheaditis and customer service reps have been my bane for the last three weeks. Verizon shut off our phone at the old house as planned and forgot to show up at the new house to turn it back on. Screwed up the whole move because no one else could reach us. The Dr.s office can not produce a detailed statement of charges and payments, there are a couple of thousand in payments missing somewhere.
At least I don’t have a HOA anymore.
Rampant DHI is so prevalent now that I find myself accounting for it when I plan on doing anything. It has become institutionalized in this country. I have to prepare in advance plans A, B, C, and D-for-Dickhead. And when you call them on it, somehow you’re the bad guy and they’re the victim (and there’s never an apology). Now, more often than not I will attempt to do something by myself instead of taking the risk of hiring somebody to fuck it up for me, with all the attendant hassles and frustrations which can drag on for months, if not years.
And it seems that most millenials are either oblivious or are accustomed to DHI, since they have never known anything else. The idiocracy is already here in full bloom; we don’t have to wait 500 years. Thank God I don’t need to hire employees. This is reason #942 why we homeschool.
Formerlib – You nailed it! Of course, on one of my problems it was my fault. I said that I hoped they were recording this for training purposes because I was gonna tell her how to do her job which I proceeded to do. Didn’t help. I wound up having to fix the problem myself.

As if shitty service is not a symptom of a nation of dystopian perverts.
Looks like San Fransissy.
Here’s the future:

No branches. Strickly on-line banking. It started in Europe and is now creeping into the U.S.
I prefer to deal with a Live, breathing person but that’s going away rapidly.
When I was a youngster I worked in a small butcher shop. Every Saturday I was paid by being handed a paper envelope by the store owner with CASH inside. Figured out from a time card right down to the penny.
No you’re forced to get your monthly stippend on-line.
We’re becoming a Notion of impersonal turds who need to be “connected” by digital inhuman Ipods, Ipods, etc.
No wonder people are shootng each other. They don’t see their fellow man/woman as more than an avatar or faceless twitter texter.
We are no longer citizens but subjects, and we did it to ourselves. I can understand blacks voting for Dimocrats, even though they have been turned into wards of the state. What I don’t get is Jewish people voting for Dimocrats, since the most reliable base of the Dimocrat Party consists of black people who hate Jews, or members of the middle class, whom the Dimocrats are intent on destroying, or the rich whom Dimocrats hate and are trying to bring down. The Dimocrats package themselves much better than Republicans. I cry for what my beloved country is becoming. I saw us at our best and now I am witnessing the downward slide into a socialist dictatorship.
Whenever I need to call for services, I never click all the numbers they sent me to to reach the proper section. I click Zero, and I let them find the person I need. Then I say right away, “I’m a French Canuck, I’m an old lady, and I’m deaf. You better speak slow, loud, and in a clear English. Or you’re in trouble.” You have no idea, wherever they are, how hard those people try to help me. I hate to sound like a bully, instead of a nice, refined old lady. But life gets shorter and shorter as one gets older. The hours are too precious to waste them on anonymous people who really don’t give a damn about you, or the company they work for.
Good idea Claudia. I often punch zero as well.
