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*

luckily I never really spoke to anyone THAT stupid. It's almost funny, if it wasn't so true...

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.
