Today, at work, I spent half an hour on the phone with a customer. At the end of the conversation, as he was putting down the phone, I heard him say 'God, he was a miserable git'. I'm a 28 year old woman. FML

I'm sorry that happened. I've worked phone customer service before, customers can be so rude sometimes. No wonder you didn't sound cheery! And the only reason he thought you sounded male was because he wasn't listening. You even say your name at the start of the call! How stupid is he? It's all on him, don't take it personally.

Hey, you have a manly voice, who cares. It's not something you can control. However, you're still a miserable git.

I used to work in retail and I understand all too well how annoying customers can be. Just suck it up. :/

Yeah, because you always had to retail everything you already told! I hate my life.

I used to work in retail and I understand all too well how annoying they are. Unfortunately, there's not much you can do. :/

A lot of girls who have REALLY sexy voices are fat and ugly. And dumb bimbos with the most annoying voices ever are hot. But you're neither! You're just a miserable git. You're unique! Or a Eunuch.

Aww, that sucks. I wouldn't worry about it too much though. People sometimes sound a bit different on the phone than they do in real life. A few years ago, I was told I sound like my eight-year-old male cousin on the phone. Of course, he sounds pretty high-pitched for a boy, so I saw that as more of an insult to him than to me. :p

why does your age matter? fyl anyways

Age matters so (for this time) the readers of the FML knows if the girl has hit puberty.

Meh. He could have been talking about someone else. Maybe his wife just pulled up the Facebook page of an old enemy.

can somebody tell me what a git is?

It's a distributed version control system, leaps and bounds better than a more traditional style like subversion. Of course, if you want the more useful answer, Google is freely available. I'll even tell you that you'll probably get more useful results if you search for British slang.

I don't understand why people ask the definition of things on here (or anywhere on the Internet)... in the time it took you to type 'can someone tell me what git is', you could have opened Google and typed it in... But anyway... git is like a less rude version of 'bastard'. Normally reserved for someone who is grumpy/old-man. A lot of the time it's used in an endearing sense, or in a funny way.
