I wish I knew some curse words that weren't curse words but sound like curse words, and I wish I could use them on anybody I want to use them on. Who took a giant bite out of my brownie? Why, that lady at the XXX's office whom I just spoke with. Mind you, I use the word "spoke" as loosely as possible. That heifer barely let me get a word in edgewise. And hello! I called her. How the hell does she know what I want to ask or talk about, if she just keeps talking over me?
In my next life, I am coming back as a federal or state employee. Apparently, they don't have to worry about any of their clients getting mad and never coming back for a return visit. Not all, I'm sure, but many whom I speak with, have lost touch with what I think is corporate reality. They don't care what you want, what you need or what you wish to tell them. They have their own set of rules, and they will change them and expect you to know it without them ever informing you. And to add insult to injury, they now seem to have lost their ability to LISTEN.
By the time I extricated myself from that "conversation," I felt as if I had been several rounds in the ring with a prize fighter.
How does one politely tell another ... to shut the hell up and listen?

Talk over them. Or keep hanging up and calling back... hanging up and calling back... maybe they'll get a hint. If they ask you why you keep hanging up and calling back... "Why, I thought I had pressed the wrong button, I was not getting the information I needed."
ReplyDeleteThat might not work, if they can do things by their own rules. It IS annoying!
hormone hell is such a beautiful place, I am glad you could join me!
ReplyDelete@Nikki -- girl, I finally had to talk over her to be heard!
ReplyDelete@Alice -- I would accompany you anywhere, but next time, how bout we go to Treasure Island or maybe Pleasure Island. Oh heck, whereever that little Tatoo guy says ... Boss, de plane, de plane! Fantasy Island, that's it! Let's take a trip there instead of hormone hell!
Some folks don't understand polite (or subtle) you just have to tell 'em to shut the hell up and listen...
