Today's annoyance - HOORAY!

[vraiblonde]

I make my half dozen or so phone calls. Nobody answers, I leave a message.

And don't you know that when I finally speak to a human, everyone else I've left a message for decides to call me back at that same moment. So I finish my call, go to call the other people back, and......leave a freaking message!!!



This is why I love email so much as a form of communication. I'm ready to throw my phone through the window and it's not even 10am.

If the people you're calling know you at all, they're probably coordinating this effort just to mess with you.

More annoying... people that don't bother to listen to your message. They just call back and say, I see that you called...

This is why I tell people to text/email me. I don't do voicemail. I check it once a month or so when the icon finally starts to aggravate me.

 

[glhs837]

text/email the only way to go.

The irritation continues....

I call about a bill I paid several months ago that I'm now getting nastygrams about. Corporate has my information, confirmation is good, account is paid in full. The local office has not received my payment, and would like me to pay it immediately. I tell them what corporate said, give them the confirmation number....they do not care. I call corporate again, tell them that local is giving me a hard time. They tell me to call local and give them a new confirmation number...

JC, so now their billing problems are my problem??? No. No, I am not calling local for you, you all can coordinate your billing problems with each other, not through me because I'm getting ready to choke a bitch and beat your ass in public.

Supposedly they are communicating now and getting this problem straightened out. We shall see....

Then I try to do something as simple as setting up my son with a store credit at his favorite Temple liquor store for his birthday. The guy I spoke to last week said they do indeed do gift cards, I can either have it sent or set him up with store credit. Today I call and..... ........no idea what I'm talking about, I can stop in and do it in person but they do not do anything over the phone.

Fine. #### it. I'll send a check and a card like usual. lol

My car is flashing a Maint Req at me when I start it - it goes away once the car's been running for a few seconds. I cannot get it into the shop until later this week. Tonight I start my Soc class and it is my fervent hope that my little red wagon will hang in there at least for this evening.

Then there are other minor irritations that are just conspiring to give me a TERRIBLE Monday. Rainy Monday at that.

But! Tomorrow is Tuesday, Monday will be over, and better days are coming.

Likewise. I don't do voice mail and when I get around to checking it, weeks or months have passed.

I knew I wasn't the only one. I answer VM all day at work, Ill be damned if Im going home and listening to 40 calls telling me its the last chance to do something about my credit card debt, or how someone in the neighborhood is doing work, or how the IRS is getting pissed because Im not paying them back taxes on my business for the two years after I shut the business down.
