This is a question Corporate Idiocy

Comedian Al Murray recounts a run-in with industrial-scale stupidity: "Car insurance company rang, without having sent me a renewal letter, asking for money. Made them answer security questions." In the same vein, tell us your stories about pointless paperwork and corporate quarter-wits

The Rules
I slouch up to the counter, to sort out some kind of confusion with my utility bill. The counter person says "I'm sorry, we can't deal with that unless you call by phone."

No doubt I boggled at him. "It's OK," he says, "You can use that phone over there."

So a minute or two later, I'm talking to the same service drone, over the phone, from about ten metres away.

I hate it when I'm in a shop
and some cunt in front of me starts to sort out some confusion over a utility bill - "DON'T THEY KNOW THEY COULD SORT IT ALL OUT OVER THE FUCKING PHONE WITHOUT HAVING TO GET IN MY WAY" I think to myself, quietly fuming.

I very much doubt it was the "same service drone", more than likely some phone monkey sat in a shed on a trading estate outside swindon with 2,000 others.
