This is a question Absolute Power

Have you ever been put in a position of power? Did you become a rabid dictator, or did you completely arse it up and end up publicly humiliated? We demand you tell us your stories.

Thanks to The Supreme Crow for the suggestion

Sales drones I hate.
I've found hekpdesk-type call centre workers are generally very poor (and not resorting to deception as telesales droids do) or want to help but are bound by scripts.
For example: I called Cable & Wireless once because ther system wouldn't allow me to activate my broadband from a Linux system. The first guy I spoke to said something like "We don't support Windows linux.". But, when I aske why he couldn't just activate me anyhow, he replied "try calling back in a little while 'our system has problems'. It took a minute to realise it -- but calling back and simply asking for activation without mentioning Linux had me up and running.
Non-sales call centre staff are usually great, as long as you listen carefully.
