Anti Joke

By Anonymous - 14/02/2014 21:39 - United States - Daytona Beach

Today, a guy called customer support, claiming his internet wasn't working. I asked for his customer details, and he gave his name as Mike Hunt. I recognized the old joke, called him an idiot, and hung up on him. It turned out that was his real name. I'm now on suspension. FML

I go to school with a Mike Hawk. Well, at least I call him that, cuz I don't know his last name and he's a complete asshole.

Screw that, thumbs up for him cuz he was obviously joking and I thought it was a good attempt. Don't care if I get thumbed down either, clearly.

When you assume you make an ass out of u and me. Might want to remember that next time. You may get an occasional bogus caller, but you should always handle things professionally.

Prankster or not, you work in customer support where you are constantly watched what you say or do. You need to hold your tongue and be polite to everyone. As much as it sucks because no one should have to put up with someone who I disrespectful, it's one of those things where you have to suck it up because your job depends on it literally. In jobs like your bosses don't care because many others are waiting in line to take your job so a simple mistake like that could be your last, especially if you have the boss with the mentality that the customer or whoever calls in is always right. In this case you deserve it because you jumped to conclusions about a someone who called in asking for your help. Go along with it next time and if it does happen to be a prankster you will probably have to just let them have their laugh while being an idiot and move on with your day, with your job still in tact. Still, I wish you the best of luck next time.

I feel for both you and him. It's bad enough to deal with idiots on customer support, but bored pranksters is even worse. Easy to jump to that conclusion if you deal with it often, though looking up accounts first helps. And he's probably gotten so many reactions like that. My husband has a name that gets cheesy jokes a and often reservations cancelled because the person on the other end thinks its a joke. It can be stressful at times.
