When was the last time someone cursed at you...

A couple of weeks ago, I had a client call up - looking for the status of their order. I had a look at the account, and I explained that I didn't see an order placed for them.

 Client let out a big:

"Oh, that's BS!"

Before I could get the order from him, he hung up on me!

Here's a story about someone cursing more directly at me.

I've been working for the same company for just over 21 years.  Back in probably my 2nd or 3rd day of working for the company, I answered the phone.  Guy wanted to speak to accounts payable.

Since I was new with the company, I didn't know how to transfer the call to my co-worker.  So, I had to go to her office.  She said to put the call thru to her voicemail.

So, I went back to where I was working, and I explained she wasn't available. 

He then said something like, "That was an awful long time for you to find out she wasn't available."

I explained that I had to physically track her down since I am new to the company.

The guy told me to 'drop dead' and 'get a better job'.  And, he hung up.

I hadn't divulged that story to any fellow co-workers until just before I had been with the company for 20 years.  Then again, in the 20 years that I had been with the company, only a handful are still with the company.
