...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? |
DH has hearing problems too. The recordings are hard for him to understand.

Oh, and those recordings that just give you more numbers to push, so youre on the phone forever!

We have rental apartments, and it's amazing how many young people call and speak so fast and illegibly that we can't return their calls, unless the number shows on caller ID. It's very frustrating.

If it's a recorded message I just delete it. If they want to talk to me call me in person.
