My first boss out of college told me to handle any screaming customer phone calls with a sweetly voiced reply of "Fuck you very much!" and make them wonder if they heard "Thank you" or "Fuck you." I never had that kind of caller in the year I was there, but I was ready for them.

Of course, Aimee.

Aimee, in a word, "yes"

Yes it is, Aimee.

I need "stabbity stabbity stab sqeeky spelchy squirk" or whatever the hell Joe says.

I repeat - I no wanna be accountant anymore.

I've always used dead silence on the phone for swearers. I let themselves rave until they realize what an asshole they've been and it usually hits them. That's the point where they tend to apologize.

Thanks to ita & Lee for the double-BEEPitude laugh.

See, Lee, you can make it onto the 'Good' list occasionally.

P.S.

BEEP

See, Lee, you can make it onto the 'Good' list occasionally.

WOOHOO

Of course, the good list thing is somewhat mitigated by the fact that I have now reached shriftian levels of desire to choke a bitch.

Luckily I no longer have to deal with such phone calls. But if I did, I'd quietly put the caller on hold and then have hold "music" of a cat loudly purring....

Saints Preserve Me.

I can not laugh at my boss when he falls while on the phone with me. I can not laugh at my boss when he falls while on the phone with me.
