heehee ... Customer Service on the phone ... we have a big call-center here in OneDeadHorseTown for a major American cellphone company ... I know a lot of people who work there answering the calls ... can you say Grade 10 Dropouts? LOL

I think my best gripe of all time is this one:

We owner/operated a same-day courier / light-freight company for 10 years. I drove full-time, though we also had other trucks. One day, I'm running a bit late (typical day). I have an important delivery for the Toronto Transit Company. The big sign on the receiving door says -
"Receiving Hours - Monday to Friday - 7:30am to 4:30pm"

I pull in at 4:15pm - whew! Just made it!

Go to the door ... locked. Pull on it again. Locked. Ring the bell. A supervisor comes to the door ...

"I got this carton of parts for you guys. Important it be delivered today."

"Sorry, but receiving is closed."

"But it's only 4:15. The sign says open until 4:30!"

"The guys have a 15 minute wash-up period before the end of their shift."

AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH

The supervisor wouldn't take the box either, Said it wasn't his job.
