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

I forget why I was so angry I even forget which company I was so angry at. I had been on hold, transferred to the wrong people and generally fucked around so I was already at boiling point when I got to speak to some underpaid little tit who got my name wrong repeatedly and failed to grasp what ever it was I was angry about in the 1st place.

Then he asked me for my email address, at that time I was with a free email provider called bluebottle

I have an unusual surname so I spelled it out very slowly and clearly and gave some clarification on the email address I said

ME- "My email address is [email protected], that's m y u n u s u a l n a m e at bluebottle, like the fly, dot com"

TIT- "okay sir I'll read that back to you [email protected]"

ME- "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
