I was listening to my wife on the phone the other day as she was trying to get rid of our Charter cable service. It was so funny, I almost peed myself.
“I would like to cancel my charter cable service please.”
“No, I don’t want to add the HBO/Showtime package to my Charter cable package, I would like to cancel it.”
“What?”
“No, I can’t understand you. What?”
“No, I want you to cancel my service so that I don’t have it anymore.”
“DON’T HAVE IT ANYMORE!”
“What Part of cancel my service don’t you understand?”
“GIVE ME SOMEONE WHO SPEAKS ENGLISH, NOW!”
OK, about now I was laying on the floor laughing my ass off. Shes yelling at some poor Indian or Pakistani guy named “Paul” or “Tom” who just barely made it through the english language class and is hanging on to his call center job in Timbuktu, India or Hakistani, Pakistan by the skin of his one remaining tooth.
After she gets the manager on the line and explains what she wants and needs and hangs up, I ask her WTF she was thinking yelling ” Give Me Someone Who Speaks English” at some poor 3rd world Pakistani with 17 kids to feed.
Here answer blew me away, and should make the rest of you PC bastards pay attention. She said, and I quote.
“The recording said to press 1 for English, but they lied. I pressed 1 but the Fu**er I got didn’t speak English, so I finally freaked out and lost it. If it says they’ll speak english to you, then they should Fu**ing speak english!”
My wife rocks,
