The swearing, it's therapeutic


We normally end our calls at work with an offer of further assistance. If you don't have any additional inquiry, the person says no.

But this guy...

Me : Is there anything else we may do for you, Mr Tan?
Idiot : Yes.
Me : Certainly Mr Tan, what do you require?
Idiot : Yes.

THEN THE IDIOT HANGS UP ON ME.

Sometimes, if the person is especially stupid, and they hang up on me, I'll start cursing straight away, instead of cutting my own line off. Which leads to amusing scenarios when my team leader audits my calls. Heh. She hears every word.


Yes, it's normal for us. VERY normal.

Ha! I remember when I worked as a police dispatcher, it was important to count to three even after hanging up, since it took that long for the recorder to shut off, before yelling "Asshole!"
