utter cock...
I worked in a call centre....

it was either that or live on the streets....

there wasn't a day went by when I wanted to reach down the phone and strangle some self-righteous cock

one of the happiest days of my life when I left that shit hole....

I would have more respect for you if you mugged people.
OK, that is a little harsh, but working in a cold-calling environment is modern day pickpocketing.
If you need the money,and there is nothing else, then it's vaguely understandable -- but coercion is still theft in my book.

jeez! I posted an amusing (I thought), slightly depreciating story linked to the concept of complaining and I'm a cunt! I don't understand the world anymore...I never use the phone...actually got a bit of a 'thing' about it. I actually jump and my heart races everytime the damn thing goes off....and someone brings herself into MY life, uninvited, stresses me, speaks to me like I'm shit...and I'm supposed to let it go cos "she's only doing her job" ? .... how can it be acceptable not to take resonsability for the fact that your job upsets people...the customer didn't ask for it..its being forced upon them. "people like me"..yer..people that simply don't want unsolicited phone calls!

Not amusing I'm afraid.
You didn't really put yourself in the best light there. Yes, you were disturbed by an unwanted phone call. Yes, I can understand how that feels. No, you shouldn't have acted as you did.

Actually,
your style of prose wasn't that good. Very much "he said, she said".

I'm still learning. writing prose doesnt come naturally to me and I was torn between telling the whole story but also keeping it short. Writing in the form of a script was an experiment...I probably need to go lurk some moar.
