banking rant

[sereneorange]

just oh my freaking god....

• I just adore some people from
  the northern US states, but I have got to tell you, I am so glad I only
  read what you write online. I swear sometimes it is unbearable to listen
  to people speak who are in Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, and
  bloody hell the sounds that come out of people
  from Minnisota. It really isn't even so much the men, just the women. The
  pain that can be caused from one woman butchering the letter A. I know
  everyone thinks a Southern drawl sounds stupid, but at least it is
  charming and doesn't make brains ooze out of the listeners'
  ears.

• I just got off a call with an insanely
  inarticulate woman who wanted to order checks. That call should not have
  taken 25 minutes. For some reason, people think when they call, they need
  to tell us the reason for everything. I do not care why you need checks. I
  am fairly certain it is so that you can make payments. I do not care why
  you moved. I do not need to spell everything for me. I know I do a job a
  monkey can do, but I guarendamntee you that if it was a monkey, it would
  be a spelling monkey. As soon as she found out
  that I was located in Houston, she started flipping out and crying that
  this long ass call was going to cost her so much long distance. She dialed
  a local number. She dialed the same area code as her home phone number. Of
  course she couldn't just rant, she had to ramble as well. Listing out
  every frickin number that we have and blah blah blah blah
  blah mouth diarhea. SWEET CHOCOLATE CHRIST YOU COW, SHUT UP. SHUT
  UP. SHUT UP! I managed to calm her down, but I do not think she
  beleived me. I am certain she will call back a million times to ask about
  it. God help her if it is me she gets again. Thank goodness this bank is
  genormous and that is not very likely

Eh. Not all of us sound like that. In fact, it's mostly the northwestern Minnesotans that sound like that... the ones close to North Dakota.

Yeah, same goes for MA and surrounding areas (most of the northeast actually is pretty decent).

Our company recently took over Brokerage operations for other states, including Minnesota and South Dakota. Sometimes the whine just grates on the nerves. They probably think the same about my accent, which is Kansas with leftover southern Missouri mixed in.

Strangely, I've discovered Arizonans have an accent, too. I assumed they had the same midwestern "non-accent" that anchorpeople use.

Michigan is horrible, Boston is even worse. The only accents I like are Australian and Texan. I come in my pants for those ones.

I'm pretty sure I sound decent. I say the proper-sounding "aieh", and sometimes the "ah," which isn't bad.

send me a sound file so that I may judge for myself
