    Here's a good story for you:

    In college, my roommate and I had cable modem - still kind of a new technology at the time 8 years ago and customer service was sometimes a total needle-in-haystack as far as quality.

    We had all kinds of problems with our service, tons of calls, confusion, etc. etc.

    One day i was just fed up with it after the guy couldn't tell me what the problem was, and I just let him have it. The following, word for word, occured:

    Me: Look. Every time I call here about my modem problems you guys give me a different answer. EVERY SINGLE TIME.

    Tech Guy: Well...

    Me: You know what? I'm pretty much convinced that next to you at your desk you have a big cardboard box, and in that box are a milion strips of paper with a million different responses and answers you can give to customers. And when I call you just reach in and give me some random answer.

    Tech Guy: Uh, uh, uh, sir, uhmmmmmmmm, *eyes bleed, uh...

    Me (thinking to self, "he didn't find THAT in his book of scenarios!"
