Phone Rant

The message relayed by the computer generated voice said my que in line would be approximately 20 minutes. So I had twenty minutes to think about what I needed to say. I ran it over and over again in my head All my rational arguments and opinions Then twenty minutes later the voice returns to say that due to the high volume of calls we ask you to leave a detailed message and an agent will return your call in the next 48 hrs. So in my best computer generated voice I give my name and say, Due to lack of dealing with an actual human please be advised that I will be cancelling my insurance with your lame ass company. This phone call may be recorded for training purposes for the next time I want to dump a crap company such as yours. Do not call in the next 48 hrs as I will be out shopping for a company with actual humans on staff.

I could feel you were holding back from letting your mind and frustration go, but like a good soldier you held back. I'm with you, big guy.

Interesting poem, Carl. Not the kind of phone vent I'd want to be in. You did the right thing. I sure hope the next insurance company you find has an actual human staff. Enjoyed... LINDA
