ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!1

i'm so tired of dealing with idiots all day. this dude just called me and said:

"uh, uh, hi steve, um, uh, um, i'm c-calling with mrs. um, mrs. uh, uh, mrs. j-johnson, who wants, um, to uh, um, ummm remodel um, her uh, um, remodel her bathroom and... aaaaaand um, sh-sh-she wants to know, um, uh, uh, h-how much uh, will it um, cost um, uh h-how much w-will it um, c-c-c-cost to um, uh, do, d-d-do that?"


STFU, NOOB!





goddamn it. don't these idiots know i have better things to do than listen to their fucking stuttering bullshit all day?

this guy took 15 minutes to tell me THREE times that he was going to fax me something. JUST FUCKING FAX IT! you don't have to call me to tell me you're faxing it. it's not like i'm going to miss it. it's not like you're throwing something at me when i'm not looking. it's not like it's going to get up and hop away. it will come in and sit on the fax tray and the next time i'm over there i'll see it and say "oooh, a new job".



OMG i wish i wouldn't lose my job if i said "T-T-T-T-TODAY, MOTHER FUCKER!!!!"


fuck.

My mother has a mild stutter and I had a stutter as a child (learned behaviour), let me just say that people with your attitude made her afraid to deal with the general public. As a small child I had to order the pizza, deal with sales reps, etc. as my mother was so afraid of scorn and mockery.

I wish people had a bit of compassion instead of being self-obsessed assholes. Fifteen minutes of your time, pretending to be a decent person, may be hard on you, but would mean so much to those you deal with.

Also, nervousness, dealing with hostility, etc. exasperates the stutter, at least in the case of my mother. So, if you try to be compassionate, things just might go a bit faster.

edit: this forum is really doing its job, because this post really pissed me off. Good job, forum.

Fail.

what kind of stuttering? was it the stuttering of a clinical stutterer such argonians' mom or was it just some dumb fuck that has done too much weed in the interim?

oh, trust me - my customer service skills are on point and everyone loves me. this guy calls me and i make his day by being totally excited over the phone.


"DAN THE MAN!!! what's up pal, how can i help you out today???"
"awesome, brother - you rock. thanks for all your hard work."


but trust that my mind goes really fast and that the phone rings constantly here, so when i'm dealing with these people who think it's necessary to call me to tell me they're doing something as simple as sending a fax, it grates my nerves and makes me wanna scream.


so contrary to popular belief, i'm not such a dick that i'll say something shitty to a collegue, as much as i may want to.

answer question please... which variety stutterer was it?

and no, it's not a clinical stutter, it's a nervous 'i don't know what i'm doing or where i am'. not really stuttering at all actually, lots of "ums" and "uh..."


the dude has no clue what's going on.

I don't think it's the grass or otherwise it would sound like this:


Heey uhhhhh Steeeve. uh what's up man????..... Ummm.............................................Oh yah, Mrs... What the hell was it? Starts with a J. ... Oh yah, Johnson. She wants to know how much it cost to remodel her bedroom....

I'd rather talk to someone who stutters than hear that sort of BS over the phone.

I am breaking forum rules by removing most or all of my post.

Party pooper.

Ok, glad we got that one out the way. Now I'm going to go start a thread about people who say "it's all good."

(groan)
sweet is one of the terms i use...

If it is a medical problem I can handle the situation with patience both on the phone and in person. I just have a low tolerance dealing with idiots and those under the influence.

Sam and I...well...we have our own stutterer at work.

It's not funny, it's a clinical stutter and it's actually really sad...but sometimes, I have to walk out of the room during a meeting at work and laugh.

The last time, I got up and walked down the hall to the bathroom, locked myself in a stall and laughed my ass off for about 15 minutes.

Worst part, he's the manager of the facility we work at.

People laugh at him, make fun of him, even get up in the middle of a meeting, put on the fake stutter and ask him questions. I've watched it happen, probably more times than I can count.

I mean, it's sad, but at least I have the decency to get up and excuse myself.

What's worse...I hate when people make fun of others, but I often catch myself doing it...I mean...I call him "Stuttering John" or something worse...like Mel (Mel Tillis). I'm sure other folks have worse names than we do.
