I had to call Microsoft today because I had some questions about Outlook. I figured I would call, get my answer, and be done with it.
Such an idealist.
I made sure to choose Microsoft CANADA, called the number, and listened to the ring be interrupted by static noise every 2 seconds. It was then that I could only assume I was calling as a camel was walking over the wires in a tiny northern Indian town.
Sure enough, my call is answered by a 4 year old Philippino girl with a thick accent and a penchant for calling me 'ma'am'.
Yeah, she was in the Philippines. When I call to speak to someone about my problem in Canada, I would like to speak to a Canadian. Or, at the very least, a North American.
Tiny Philippino With Annoying Accent (TPWAA): Oh, are you calling from Canada, ma'am?
Me: Um, yes. Why? Where are you?
TPWAA: We are located in the Philippines, ma’am.
Me: Fantastic.
TPWAA: What is jdfafdsjk sdnakfl ahfjash?
Me: What?
TPWAA: Are you jfadfdhl ijhaduifh?
Me: Yes?
TPWAA: Great. Thank you, ma'am. I will transfer you to our professional department.
Me: What the hell just happened there?
The connection is lost (or they hung up on my racism loving ass). I call back, hoping that I get someone not halfway around the world.
Professional Department Dude: Hello, Microsoft Professional Department. Dfhaskldfj adhfaisgh?
Are you fucking kidding me?
hahaha!! It's so true it's not even funny!! I loathe having to call about my computer! Turns out, HP has a new thing going where you can email them your problem...no accents come through on emails...it's wonderful!
ReplyDeletewhat a racist slut...people from your country outsource because you are such lazy asses and you ask too much money!
ReplyDeletestop yakking and bend over....like any Canadian would do...
Well, "Anonymous" (I guess I'll never know who you are if you're too cowardly to even state your name), I sincerely hope you aren't living in Canada right now.
