Harvard Education

DrDialtone

So I'm going round-and-round with this new migartion cust. His final blue bill was $49.01 and he paid it. If you don't see a problem with that then you did NOT get a Harvard Education. For some reason he insisted that something was wrong and loudly let me know that he was NOT an idiot and had gone to ... well ... you get the idea. Let me see, we send you a bill and you pay it. Yeah, there's something messed up about that. We better look into this. And of course he ended with one of my faves "I'll call back to talk to someone who knows what they are doing."

The way I see it, some people has a limited amount of "brain", and when they pile it all up on one subject in order to become an "expert" this leaves very little left over to do normal...

Yes, he somehow felt that us cashing his check to pay his bill was wrong. He stated that he fully understood that he had a NEW Cingular account and explained in GREAT detail that due to his education he did not need to have that explained to him. At one point he actually said "Why did you cash my check?" And stopped short of blurting out "Because you owed us the money!" Trust me, it was one of those WTF? calls where you think it's some kind of prank call gone wrong.

Hey, Dubya has a degree from Yale--those Ivy League colleges have an unofficial motto "Graduating the stupid and useless children of the rich to get our funding, just ask!" 🙄

If I had a nickel from every dingwad who insisted that "It's DOCTOR Soandso, not MISTER" and then proceeded to waste everbody's time on the most pointless, picayune issues EVER (all the while telling me how incredibly IMPORTANT they are and how much THEIR TIME is worth) I wouldn't need a job, I'd be living off the interest!

Education is by no means a guarantee that there are functioning brain cells generating electrical activity up there in the old cranium...

My dad's very grounded in reality...he doesn't like shows or movies about firefighting. He's rather watch something on the Discovery Channel about a Firehouse that's 150 years old. Otherwise, my brother...the other firefighter, loves "Rescue Me".

"The Shield" rules.
I think the best show on TV right now is Deadwood.
I also can't stop watching the bike building shows on Discovery.

Kinda Reminds me of the call I had where he couldn't understand whay we were charging him $39.99 plus taxes. This guy yelled at me for "talking down to him" (???) becuase he has two degrees to do with some (ironically) mathematical thing.

LOL- I know what you mean. I have tons of people complain about taxes. Hey- if you don't like it then talk to someone who can actually do something about it ( like your senator, ect ). I have people that are like- " You ( yes it's always little ole' me that regulates everything ) advertise that the plan is $39.99 a month, then charge me and extra $5 in taxes and fees, this is false advertising!!" Um mm, sorry but we live in America and everything is taxed. You buy a house for $200,000 then get taxed $5000 a year- that's not the home seller's fault there is taxes. It's the cost of living here.

yeah, but the unibomber and ted bundy were crazy/smart. this guy is just an idiot. i bet he flunked out of a community college or something. we jokingly call a community college in my area "harvard on the hill". so honestly, what he says means nothing. i'd just give him a coke and a smile and tell him to shut up.
