...and then there are the dreaded accents. A customer called in at work and the customer service gal wrote down the city as Button Rough (Should have been Baton Rouge). I had a caller ask for Mar-tenahGra-haam. I answered "sorry you have the wrong number" and only later realized that's what my name sounds like in an Indian accent.

I rarely receive intelligible msgs nowadays. Recorded or otherwise. Many companies just hang up. Even when it's urgent business. And, then I have difficulty finding out about this urgent business because their caller ID is completely unrelated to their business. One of my banks has this problem. What the heck?
