Dealing with customer service is like a Pokemon battle.

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

So yeah, I had to call my bank this morning because their online system has been down for two straight days. So, here's how it went.

LeSabre used DIAL 1-800 NUMBER!

Customer Service used AUTOMATED MACHINE!

LeSabre's RAGE is building!

LeSabre used DIAL ZERO TO TALK TO AN ATTENDANT! It's not very effective...

Customer Service used ALL LINES ARE BUSY PLEASE STAY ON THE LINE!

Customer Service used ELEVATOR MUSIC!

LeSabre's RAGE is building!

Customer Service used WAIT 25 MINUTES THEN ANSWER!

LeSabre used EXPLAIN PROBLEM! It's not very effective...

Customer Service used TRANSFER CALL!

Customer Service used ALL LINES ARE BUSY PLEASE STAY ON THE LINE!

Customer Service used ELEVATOR MUSIC!

LeSabre's RAGE is building!

LeSabre used PICK UP THE ****ING PHONE YOU ****ING PIECES OF ****ING ****!

It doesn't affect Customer Service because of ELEVATOR MUSIC!

LeSabre used HANG UP IN ANGER!

LeSabre fled from the battle!

And that pretty much sums up how I wasted 45 minutes of my life this morning.

I usually pick up my DS and start playing something and turnt he phone onto speaker.

CS: "Mister, I seem to be hearing something in the background"
Me: "Oh, that's probably just me playing pokemon"

Apparently he thought I was one of those manager test calls.

^ That's a good idea.

But uggggh automated phone machines. The worst ones are the ones that ask you to state your problem--the voice recognition never, ever works. XD;
