Conducting business over the phone

[Galek]

People who ignore Voice mails.

"Hey I saw you called and left me a message earlier. What do you need?"
"Did you list...As I said in the message [Blank]"
"Oh I do not have that in front of me, I'll call you back"

on a serious note about phone poopin', don't do it. one of my cousins used to call me every time he was dropping a log. you can almost smell that crap through the phone. I know a martha floccer ain't got much going on, but making phone calls is the wrong thing. get a cross word puzzle, some magazines, a copy of War and Peace.

We are crucial to plant operational communications. If we leave Control, we forward forward the desk phone to the direct connect. I've conducted a lot of operations with my dick in my hand.

When my technologically impaired boss or my dad leave me a message, it NEVER gets listened to. Why? Because they leave me messages for ANYTHING. Important, not important, whatever.

OK, so when I leave my technologically impaired dad a message it never gets listened to, so I usually just hang up. He is just capable of figuring out who's calls he missed. Occasionally, I'll leave a horribly abusive voice mail so when he calls me back without listening to the message I can tell him that I'm on the other line and he should just listen to the detailed message.

Not business related, but my biggest phone peeve is when someone sends a text or voicemail saying "call me". For one, you already took the time to say something, tell me what it's about! And secondly, if that's all I get from my dad, I always assume something bad happened. To date, nothing has, but I've got some sick elderly family so you never know. Gives me a freaking heart attack.

ONLY time this is ok, is if I have 4 paragraphs worth of text and I am to lazy to type it...(wait....1 other time)....OR if I am driving.

About the toilet talk thing......can you imagine the sheer volume of POTTY POSTS??????

I have done it. The app makes it too easy!

FACEBOOK is COVERED in potty posts, I guarantee it!

poop POSTS don't bother me, really, how would you know without being told? plus, the lack of immediacy, I could be reading your post/text hours after your business is concluded

potty CALLS are a much different matter. the unmistakable tile reverb is the giveaway

I really don't see how talking to me is so important you can't wait until after you've dropped the kids off at the pool.

Pooping right NOW!!

Just catching up while pooping. Is that tape on your monitor, cheezy? Never mind, that is probably more of a phone call type conversation.

I effing hate calling a company to make a payment and having a machine tell me there is a fee for me to give them money. Then, when I hit 0 to get a real person, it tells me that I made an invalid selection, then when I call back to speak with customer service (after more auto-attendant-ass-hattery) they tell me it costs more money to give money to a real person and put me back into the machine to take my money. If I were the car-bombing type....

Online Bill pay from your bank is the ONLY way.

I pay all my bills from my bank's app. Money comes out of my account instantly, the payee has it next day, easy.

I bank with a small, local outfit that I've used for years. No app. And why should it cost extra to pay a company for service? Especially if you are interacting with a MACHINE? That's ridiculous. A cell phone company doesn't need to charge an extra fee to collect payment. That's just greedy. Should a grocery store charge extra if you have an actual cashier ring you up instead of using the self-checkout? Come on.

What you are complaining about is actually more like the grocery having no live cashiers, and charging a $3 convenience fee to use Uscans!

Oh, and sorry, but get a real bank.

Just because they are nice is no reason to cost yourself a LOT of time and convenience.

 

[boydster]

Real bank? Mine is brick-and-mortar, and I am at least pretty sure not run by androids. Perhaps you mean one of those too-big-to-fail banks? I'll look into it.

What I'm complaining about is a business feeling justified in charging a fee to collect payment for providing the service that you agreed to in the first place. Provide service, collect payment, repeat. Collecting payment isn't providing a service, it is a necessary part of running a business and the cost should be built into the regular fee. Do you pay extra for customer service? Tech support? Walking through the door to peruse a store's wares?

Draw whatever simile you like, I don't care. It's still poor form.

 

[cheezydemon3]

Honestly, I figure those automated phone things prey on people who just about have to make their payment that way. They have you where they want you.

And I was making your argument, sorry if I seemed to lecture about the bank thing.

I miss the poop jokes.
