    We are very sorry to keep you waiting...

    ...your call is important to us.

    Really? Not so important that you bother to employ enough feckin staff to actually deal with my feckin problem...aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhg.
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

    Globalization.

    Customer support goes to India, big co makes a record profit, the shareholders become rich, and you spend all afternoon on a telephone and yet pay the same price as before.

    Good innit?

      My Fiancee worked in a call centre which took care of calls for a couple of banks.
      One of the banks offered customers a dedicated call line for their accounts - for which they charged extra (of course). In point of fact they were always put through on the regular call lines.
      It's Deja-vu all over again!
