I think we all have felt this frustration. Well depicted. If you have a chance reread my Ice King poem. I did a rewrite on it. Let me know what you think. Have a great day Milt.

YES! I thought it was just me. At work we had POC which was point of contact, now it stands for piss off customer. A reality poem.

Wow, very well expressed and I can fully understand the frustration of this call. Thank you for sharing. It's humourous, poignant and the description is superbly done!

Thanks Kim! I try to avoid calling customer service as much as possible. It's so hard to speak to a live person. Everything these days seems to be automated. Milt
