Some People Are Jerks And That’s Final
(I used to work for an electricity company’s call centre. I now work in an office, and I overhear this conversation. My coworker is not the nicest or brightest person in the world.)
Coworker: “I have a bill here that says, ‘final bill.’ I need to know if this bill is a final bill. No, I won’t tell you my account number! Tell me if it’s a final bill! I don’t care if you can’t see the account!”
(This goes on for a few minutes until she’s speaking in an utterly condescending tone.)
Coworker: “I know it says, ‘final bill,’ on it. I need to know if that means it’s a final bill. Derrrr!”
(The poor soul on the other end finally convinces her that yes, “final bill” means, “final bill.”)
Coworker: *muttering to herself* “How stupid are some people? How hard is it to tell me if a final bill is a final bill? That’s all I needed to know! Morons!”
(I’m so thankful I don’t work in an electricity call centre anymore. This, unfortunately, is a typical call.)
