Banking Rant

[sereneorange]

I am so very tired of people calling me with food or candy in their
mouths. Is it hard to understand that the phone is right next to your
mouth and noone wants to listen to the sound of
food slapping around the inside of your nasty trap? It is just nasty. If
it is a freaking cough drop, either let the damn thing sit still or spit 
it out until you are done with a conversation. People are inarticulate
enough with out the ambitious attempt of tongue acrobatics while they are
trying to speak. It is just gross. I chew gum all day at work, and I am
certain noone hears anything while I am doing so. I do not smack away on
it while I am on the phone with someone.

I was told once by my boss that I was rude for speaking up when customers said they can't hear me - since I'm used to projecting my voice in the first place (and I came from a very loud Polish/Italian family) I really do disturb my co-workers. It's gotten better now that we don't have 30 year old phones any longer.

I find it difficult to still sound pleasant and not like a smartass bitch when I am speaking louder/ slower for a customer who cannot hear me. I don't think it is possible to do that and not sound bad.

You're quite right. But, on the other hand it wasn't my fault that they couldn't hear me because they're near deaf.

Smartass bitch has been my specialty.

lol.. I mean that I am not naturally loud.

Oh not me. Everyone here knows me. I'm nice to the co-workers and a bitch to the customers (that is, only if they were bitchy first). I'm known for my transfers to the supervisor line because I won't bow down to customers threatening to call Marvin Zindler. Yes, superbitch is I. Louder than a speeding train, with an ass that grows as she breaths (no, really it has since I've started this job), spreading her superbitch power to all customers who insist they can get away with whatever they want because they're always right.

"with an ass that grows as she breaths"
reminds me of a quote from Coupling:

Jane: I don't know. I've just felt really horny lately. Let me tell you, if there weren't so many guys after me, you two would be in trouble.
Sally: God, I don't think I could ever sleep with another woman. What if she had a smaller bottom than me?
Susan: Excuse me! I'm on tape in my ex-boyfriend's closet, very nude and very pornographic. Where does bottoms fit in on the crisis scale?
Sally: Bottoms are their own crisis scale. It's just amazing how they follow you, but keep growing and growing and growing. I bet mine's having a secret snacking right now.

LOL!

For some reason the punchline made me think about how my ass eats my underwear.

you need better underwear

[lil-ms-drama.livejournal.com]

It's got a kind of nutty flavor, I understand.
