The Dirty Secrets of Your TradeSo, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.
We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

Call Centers and CrematoriumsThis QOTW is so good that i'll suspend my 3 year long b3ta uber-lurk.
1. There is no point ever calling a BT call center after 5pm as that is when all the management go home leaving only the woefully under-trained phone-monkeys who have absolutely no idea how to resolve your problem, so your call will just be transfered from one inept department to another til 8pm when everyone gets to go home and they'll just hang up on you. Also its worth never being rude to call center staff because they will just transfer your call to the Indian call center department and it will take days to sort your problem rather than hours. (or at least i used to)
2. Friend of mine used to work in a crematorium and told me that they will burn anywhere between 5 and 10 bodies in a day, pile all the ashes together and then just divide them out to the relatives. So grandmas ashes are really 1/5th grandma, 1/5th over-dose victim, 1/5th former motorbike rider etc etc
