Yeah because that's always the problem... Oh wait.

Pretty certain that 90% of the time the reason a website is functioning badly is not because of your system, so in this case, giving almost anything else for advice probably would have been more useful. Therefore, you're reasoning that it was a reasonable response isn't really justifiable. With that said, the guy on the other end could have just reacted automatically if he tends to give that as a staple first answer all day long, and they quickly hung up in embarassment after he realized his error. I think he was probably was probably just dicking around though.

First, not last.

But the thing is.. Alot of the time people haven't and it ends up being as simple as that to fix something.

Yeah, well oiled so that it can collectively **** the American people. Oh wait, did I just say that out loud?

#17 no you didn't you wrote it.

I hate dealing with government offices. No matter how nice you are to them they're always rude. It makes me what to rip their tongues out and beat them with it.

#19- Writing is speaking on paper. Or, electrical devices, in this case.

#19, I did indeed speak that out loud as I was typing the comment. You don't know my life! Only the NSA does.

Fight the power!

Why, yes, yes it is!

I work in it. Do you know how often they DON'T?

I think the problem is that the guy just hung up on him, which is a pretty rude thing to do, instead of waiting on the phone until the problem was solved.

#4 I take it you have never spoken with anyone at a government office in your life. Those people don't give a rats ass about fixing the problem they just want to get you off the line ASAP.

31, for all you know you could be ruining their new record time for solitaire

Listen to the smart husky The husky knows...

They speak English too. Please, hang up and try your call again later.

Though with a different accent people from India do speak English very well.

Torn by your comment, 7. I would like to say it's mildly racist, then I recall the major issues I had with a satellite company years ago where I felt horribly racist because I could barely understand their heavy accents over the phone. And I deal with people whose first language isnt english every day. :/ It can suck.
