At work today I had to take down a man's name and he says "Burt is my last name". I notice he has an english accent. So I say "Whats the fist initial?" He says "a" really low so I couldn't hear him, so I ask him to repeat it, "A" Then his wife pipes up and says
"You know, A, it starts off the alphabet. Hahahahahahahaha" Ensue hilarity, laughter and rolling of the eyes.

I cant stand people like that. Smarmy "abuse the person because they
have to take it as part of their job" people. I'm great at customer service but if someone gets all cocky (and it can be worse over the phone as you're not face to face) then I automatically go into "I'm going to make you feel incredibly small because you're a cunt" mode.

I like that attitude Sul. Tell us more.. I have to interact with customers, but so far generally don't get much crap.. everyone knows you get shit drinks if you piss off the barman. I worry about how well I'd do in a job that involved real restraint. :-\

Being excrutiatingly polite to people is a very effective diminishing tool, actually. The more stroppy they get, the more you call them 'Sir', and smile and be 'terribly understanding'.
They know you're being sarcastic and taking the piss, but you aren't doing anything that they can object to.
Calling women 'Sir' can piss them off, though.

That's correct, madam.
Yes we are. Are all Americans stupid? I think we both know the answer to that! I had to work on the IT helpdesk for a while, its amazing how many people presume that you know as little (if not less) than them about IT/whatever area of expertise you happen to be from. The best part is bamboozling them with meaningless phrases. We used to play a game where you had to incorporate specific words or phrases into the conversation which often resulted in them just hanging up.

And no, not all americans are stupid, I however may be one of the many who are, because I knew someone would write that question and I still proceeded to start this conversation. Anyway I just smiled at the woman like I know your "taking the piss" you bitch. grrr.

hahah one of the comments after that picture is:
"Calling our president an idiot is immature and disrespectful. I don't care what your politics are, when did everyone in this country lose respect for the office of the president? To voice an opinion on the internet is fine, to put it in print on a company's label or to announce it at a Dixie Chix concert is just tasteless - especially in a time of war."
hahahahahaha

you obviously think we are "dumb dumb" if you feel the need to explain to us how to pronounce it (in brackets)
Posted by
kaila, 03:17, 16th April 2004:
As I stated earlier I consider myself to be one of the idiots so I only used the brackets to get my point across, I assumed I hadn't spelled it correctly. Uh huh, ya know since i's amercan an all i must be stoopid. uh huh huh huh

"I don't care what your politics are, when did everyone in this country lose respect for the office of the president?"
Right after he turned out to be a fuckwit, I imagine.
And as for not caring about peoples politics, how can that
possibly be irrelevant to everyone who voted for the other party? The office of president is a political position, you penis! They must be feeling more than a touch vindicated for voting the other way given the resulting cock-up by Shrubbery the 2nd.
Yeah I felt that was particularly condescending (con-du-send-ing).

apparently even US soldiers like them. Though I don't think that they are using the specific bags with the tags on them.

I would have put an "h" beside the "u"
If I could re-arrange the alphabet I would put u and i together!
