Even seeing one

I did a pager service...
...fucking pagers - never heard of a mobile phone?
Half the fuckers that rang:
Me: Can I take your message for Jane Doe?
Dumb fuck: Is that Jane?
Me: Do I sound like Jane?
Dumb fuck: No. Who is this?
Me: I can take a message for Jane if you wish... This is her pager service.
Dumb fuck: Is Jane there?
Me: Goodbye *click*

it stops being funny
and just becomes plain scary when you reaise that people really are that stupid.

Half the callers were
that stupid - the rest were dumber...
...the management were worse. Fucked their way up through the ranks. I once got a bonus for handling a record number of calls in a month - I really just hung up on most of my calls after about 10 seconds.

Sometimes I would transfer them to
different queues like the mobile phone helpdesk or AA traffic info. Sometimes I would pretend to be their local pizza place. Sometimes I would whisper "I know where you live, fucko" and hang up.
It was very open ended and conducive to creativity.
