And so, so offensive to women. And men. And any varieties of transgender or -dressing people. And anyone who has ever used a phone. And anyone who has ever used make-up. And …
JUST. SO. OFFENSIVE!!!!!

I really do wonder what awesome thing I’ve done to deserve such a hilarious troll. Of all the things for him to pick on, my sexuality is one thing that I’m entirely secure with. My old roommate was gay FFS, we went to Key West for New Years Eve 2008 and hit the gay clubs for him right after the straight strip club for my entertainment. I bought him a lapdance from some hairy skater guy and he got me a lapdance with this tiny little blond, short, not too thin, small perfect tits omg…so perfect…wait, what was I talking about?

That’s what she said….

Speaking of eyerolling, I agreed to cover something tomorrow for one of my bosses, only to find out that it involves the client who holds the dubious honor of almost being the first of my clients to find out exactly what it feels like to get stabbed in the thigh with a ballpoint pen for being a total jackhole. Yay? And of course, *sigh*

During my last call, I was frustrated with the script reading until I realized that the company probably requires the script to be read verbatim, regardless of how inappropriate it might be for that particular situation. It was bound to be frustrating for the guy who had to read whatever popped up on his screen to say. He knew I was aware of most of the things he was reading to me, as we had already discussed them.

As frustrating as that was, I considered myself lucky, as, unlike the helpdesk guy, I didn’t have to spend six more hours in similar conversations, and come back to the same work the next day. That job must totally suck!

Oh yes, I feel myself becoming momentarily racist if they take too damn long but I let that go when I come here and calm down and remember those little things like I am not the center of the universe and America isn’t the center of the universe.

Always nice to come to calm down.

Well with an American, you can actually tell if they are just being stupid. With having somebody from India on the line, they sound intelligent but clueless which skews your reaction because you can’t justify calling them stupid but you notice that it takes forever for them to figure out what you are talking about.

This assuming that you know what you’re talking about when you call in. If you’re an idiot, nobody at customer service can help you.

Naw, it’s just that they’ve got several more lifetimes of time so they seem irritatingly patient in the way they talk!

DeathWyrmNexus — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 16:12:11 +0000

I would go with a little of both. Frustrated that I have to repeat myself about five times in about five different versions of the same statement while their written tone acts like I am the idiot. Impatient because while I am having to rephrase for them, I am not actually doing the work I am supposed to be doing.

I think the “dawns on them” comment is a frustrated jab because their tone indicates that I am some kind of twit they are being patient with.

Baaaawwwwwwwwww they mentioned a minority it MUST be Bigoted!!! Because minorities are PERFECT, and if there are any problems with anyone different then me is MUST be MY FAULT. Lighten up! It’s a joke, and it’s funny because it’s true. Serial killers are White, Hired professional thugs are Italian, Gang members are Black and Hispanic, and sometimes Tongan, Native Americans are drunks, Teens cause most of societies ills, and Old People and asians drive bad. There I hate everyone equally therefore can not be bigoted, as I don’t prefer one group over any other.

Going through a similar experience, I wouldn’t call your feelings bigoted, because you’re not questioning anyone’s right to exist and be happy. Your feelings aren’t elitist, either, because you clearly don’t hold yourself above the person (except for the “dawns on them” part, possibly).

How about “frustrated” or “impatient?”

I’m guessing that the truth of what you deal with every day also makes your own eyes roll into your head occasionally….(I know mine does.)

I could accept elitist though I am sorry that the truth of what I deal with each day made your eyes roll into your head. I wasn’t trying to attack, I know they aren’t stupid, it is just a language and communication barrier that is making the work difficult and inefficient.

By: Ugh

Which brings me to a conundrum, is it elitist or being a bigot to be annoyed when you have to deal with Pakistanis or Indians (from India for the hicks out there) constantly who don’t know their @ss from a hole in the ground when it comes to what you are doing?

It isn’t that they are stupid, not at all, it is simply that they think in a completely different way using a language that works in a different way. At lot of our tech support and service requests goes through India and some of the things I have to explain when they get confused is me having to explain the same thing over and over until my word use eventually dawns on them and even then, they barely get what is being conveyed. Then when I am discussing this, I find that I am definitely not alone with this problem.

Very annoying since it is painfully inefficient.

I am reminded of how my company thinks it is a good idea to dabble in sending work to Guatemala after it already failing when they tried to send it to India. Oddly enough, Americans like to talk to people who speak their language when they discuss their loans…

Ironically, this was announced to us after I read something on the company page about how my company was looking forward to help Obama with the economy…
