Smarten up

[sereneorange]

Alright  account holders! Pay attnetion:

You can call the FCC
about our handling of your checking account, but I do not think it will do
much good.

It is a checking account, not a checkins account. I know
it is savings. But it is singular for checking just because, and you sound
stupid for adding an s

In-suf-ficiant funds! Not
insignificant, although, yours are currently fairly
insignificant.

When I ask, "How may I help you?" I am
gonna need you to say something besides, "I am calling about my
account." or you are going to continue to hear the silence I am
giving you till you tell me what you want.

I talk for 8 hours a day.
Non stop except lunch. I will not be saying "Uh-huh" after every
3 words so you know I am still breathing. Stop saying
"HELLO!?!?!!?"  after every sentance.
I am still here. (my new response to this is
"Hi!" ...

I will start letting people who are not
on the account they are calling about have information on it , or change
addresses, or whatever as soon as you give me your banking information and
I can call and order checks, change the address, and find out how much
your have. Seems like a fair trade to me.

Thank you,

Your
Friendly Neighborhood Banker

That's great! Like my customers that want me to stop their prescription.

Um...call the pharmacy. We only have SUBscriptions here.

I need a statement for my CHECKINGS account...

[evan-rockwell.livejournal.com]

Its like when someone is giving you a number over the phone...

Person 1:"Okay, its 936..."
Person 2: "mmhmm"
P1: "759.."
P2: "mmhmm"
P1: "0469"
P2: "0469...oookay".

Like you need to give them some confermation that you are writing down the number. I hate that. Im always silent when someone gives me a number and they say "still there?" after every 3 numbers!


Your job must be hell...

why we cannot stab people with a spork is beyond me. I need someone to develope that technology

Re: I need a statement for my CHECKINGS account...

[evan-rockwell.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they need a device that attaches to the person when they get a checking account and everytime they do or say something stupid, you can just press a button and it will stab them with 50 sporks...in the eye.
YEAH!

It's "savings" because we're Americans, and everyone knows we couldn't care less about proper English usage.

From dictionary.com:
Usage Note: Traditionalists state that one should use the form a saving when referring to an amount of money that is saved. Indeed, that is the form English speakers outside of the United States normally use. In the United States the plural form a savings is widely used with a singular verb (as in A savings of $50 is most welcome); nonetheless, 57 percent of the Usage Panel find it unacceptable.

my new response to this is "Hi!"

That's what I used to do when I was in your position. I would mix it up though with "Hi!" "Hello!" "Howdy!" and "Hey, how are ya!" though. Just to keep things lively.

finally, I believe the word is insufficient.

you are correct. I cannot type. There is more than one typo. I keep having to hit delete and go back and type. I need a nap.

I repeat numbers because I have some sort of strange numeric dyslexia. I have to concentrate really hard or I can't read numbers off correctly, and can't copy them down correctly when they're being read to me. It's a real pain in the hinder when you work with account numbers all day.

my sister is like that. Brilliant otherwise, but numbers give her a rash. She can hear you say a number, say it aloud as she is wrighting and still write it wrong.

[roshov.livejournal.com]

I don't bank with you bank, but i did find your number. But can you still fix my account?

I get the joy of having to change our intianl greeting from "Hi thanks for calling the ford pc support center,My name is Sean. may I have your user id or supplier site code" to "Hi thanks for calling support center, My name is sean. can i have your user id?"


Nothing to tell people Who they are calling much less Which user id they need....so I get calls from Everyone who become immeddiatly confused as to who they are calling and why and what I'm asking.
