How Not To Answer the Phone

“What the f**k do you want” is what she said to me. This individual used the most vituperative effrontery. How professional is conveying that over the telephone? I heard that in a cantankerously vociferous tone. I hope she does not answer that way all the time. Saying that to anyone is not very sublime. This use of such language on the job is asinine. Keep it up, and you will land in the unemployment line.

Bravo!!! <3 Not only did you manage to rhyme everything, line by line, but I love how you used clever words like "vituperative effrontery", "cantankerously vociferous" and "sublime", "asinine"... yet somehow manage to keep on track of what you're writing about :) <3 Keep it up!! <3

Yes, I agree that is the stupidest thing you can do to other people! This is a terrible reflection of who you really are! You would be crazy to answer the phone in that manner if you at at work, it could be the President of the company! You would be fired right on the spot, that I'm sure! I love your poem that I have read this evening! Awesome Work!!
