This is for the condescending bitch of a customer that I had to deal with tonight, and it applies to all of you condescending customers who think it’s cool to talk down to someone who is no position to talk back. Fuck you with a rusty pick axe.
So this fuckin uppity french bitch calls me, asks me how to do something, I tell her, and because it wasn’t the exact answer she wanted, has the fuckin nerve to ask me “so what do you guys even do over there?”
Well, bitch, to answer your question, lots of things, not the least of which have to take shit from you, Madame Merdeface. We do lots of things. We do a job that you probably couldn’t handle for 2 minutes let alone 8 hours a day 5 or days days a week. Just because I couldn’t help you in the EXACT way you had hoped, just because I was not physically able to do it for you (I explained the perfectly valid reason why) you felt the need to start to argue and make snooty ignorant comments for the sole purpose of pissing me off. Well mission accomplished, you wrinkled old frog faced pirate whore.
Does it make you fucking pricks feel good to talk shit to a faceless voice on the phone? It’s funny, I’ve worked in retail and you motherfuckers aren’t quite so brave when you have to look me in the eye. Go ahead assholes, be rude and condescending, do everything you can to make me feel like shit make it personal, try to ruin my day, two can play that game. —Have some fuckin respect

“you wrinkled old frog faced pirate whore”
Great line and I’ll probably use it if I ever bump into my wife’s ex-boss, but unless you were Skypeing with Mlle. Soucelecoq it’s a bit of a leap, n’est-ce pas?
And as for “two can play at that game” – WTF? Ya gonna pay it forward by being a telecunt to somebody else.? Defeats the point of your bitch, mon vieux.
quelle fromage, excellent work, uncle vanya
Merci, ma petite fille d’agonie.

I think you guys that have to give people technical assistance over the phone deserve a medal. That’s got to be a frustrating job at times. Try not to let it get to you, remember the thankful people not so much the wrinkled frog-faced pirate whores.
op you said it yourself. in person behaviour wouldn’t be so rude.
some manners deteriorate the further they get from face to face. for example, comments on an internet post can take mere phone rudeness to a whole new (lower) level.
one advantage of being at the tech support end of things, is you can make fun of your caller and they can’t see you. if I had a real jerk on the phone I would make hanging myself gestures all the while murmuring uh huh, oh yes, mmmmm I see into the phone. it helps. and on break you can swap horror stories with other people.
I don’t care if this one is urban legend or not, but it shines like a beacon of hope….
tech support guy after speaking to customer asked him if he had saved the box his new computer came in, then told him to pack it all up, send back to the store he bought it, because he was just TOO STUPID to own a computer. so tempting.
Bad customers get bad customer support. I had an ex- girlfriend that did technical assistance over the phone and the stories she had were awesome.
Ever wonder why you get transferred numerous times, even back to the original person whom you spoke with? Ever wonder why you have to repeat the same story to every rep even though its on their screen? Ever wonder why every person you talk to asks for your birthday and personal information over and over again as a so called security check? Then my favorite was when she’d tell me about transferring the calls to the french side of the house? Oh, and those supervisors people always ask to talk with, they’re just another rep in the next cubicle. Very few calls make it to the actual supervisor.
I believe that should be “La Quebécoise.” We must always remember our correct grammar.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!

I had an issue with my fibre op yesterday, excellent customer service from ding dong Bell, maybe they’re anticipating the arrival of Verizon?
Irving and Lands End also have superb customer assistance.
Aliant gave me $40 a month off my FibreOp package for a year because they sent a demand letter threatening to cut me off for being past due. Only problem was I WASNT PAST DUE.
And their AR guy told my dad this over the phone and he’s not on the account nor is he authorized on my aliant account.
I find it hard to believe that’s the worst you’ve heard. I used to do tech support back in the day and I remember… I’d hate to see your reaction to something more offensive.
Yeah ok she’s a bitch but that’s a pretty damn strong reaction.
On the one hand, I feel your pain. It’s very difficult to deal with rude people like that, while trying to remain polite.
On the other hand you go out of your way to comment that she is French Canadian, even though that designation has nothing to do with the story, and that just smacks of bigotry.
I heard one girl call another “a banana faced cunt” I thought it funny at the time
Then there’s this:

This is fucking unbelievable.
WOW! – When Reese Witherspoon doesn’t get her McNuggets, shit gets real, yo.
Lol, Brad. “French Canadians” are the most bigoted group of people in the country, and their legislated “Frenchness” is a fucking joke.
The Canadian government spends about 11 billion dollars a year on bilingualism for less than 25% of the country, not to mention they gave Quebec their bigoted “language laws” and a “distinct society” status. They also enjoy one of the most generous federal transfer payments in the country and a disproportionate amount of federal government jobs. But alas, this is still not enough to quell the hatred the French have for this “English” country. Nope, they have elected federal MP’s, with their only mandate being separation, to our house of commons. If this was any other group of Canadians, they would be drug out into the street and shot for treason.

“If this was any other group of Canadians, they would be drug (sic) out into the street and shot for treason.” Stephen Harper
No Stephen, contrary to your claim that French Canadians are the most bigoted group of people in the country, I think we have to award the title to you. The reason you are bigoted, of course, is because you are stupid. Your stupidity is clearly illustrated in your misconceived “dollar account” of Canadian nationalism – Quebec should be grateful for all the money it gets from Ottawa and this is as far as your stupidity permits you to go. Your claim that Francophones hate this “English” country is equally stupid. None of your stupid assertions is, in fact, true but, being stupid, I know you will never understand that.
Your concluding sentence, of course, illustrates the depth of your redneck bigotry and stupidity but, once again, you will never be able to understand this either. Reading all your shit came close to turning me, an Anglophone, into a nationalist. You can imagine how a Francophone would react. No, I retract that. You’re too stupid to imagine that.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
Lol @ MM.
You mad, Brah? I pinch a nerve? Perhaps I’ll visit Quebec and wear my turban on the soccer field or wear my religious head-dress to my government job interview. Oh, that’s right. Bigotry is only for white English speaking people.
PS; you shouldn’t call names, it means you have no argument. Right, big fella?
PSS; who kicked whose ass? France can have them back if they want, free of charge.
“Reading all your shit came close to turning me, an Anglophone, into a nationalist.”
Would they let you be one? You know, with you not being an “aryan”, oh, sorry, une laine-pure quebecois. The good news is, since F.I.F.A. trumps Marois, you get to keep wearing your hijab while playing footy.
For now.
baaaaaaaaaaaaaah baaaaaaaaaaaaaah

No Stephen, I did have an argument. Your utter redneck stupidity shone through your entire comment which I pointed out but did not engage since you would be too stupid to understand. Like bad breath, Stephen, the last one to recognize his own stupidity is the person afflicted.
: (10:04AM)
I believe that should be only “PS” and not “PSS” unless you are sending a second postscript which did not appear. In any case, your stupid comment, “Who kicked whose ass?” confirms my judgement. I won’t comment on your observation that France can have the Quebébois back free of charge since you would be too stupid to understand it. However, Pauline loves Anglos like you. They make her task so much easier.
: Ivan Sonofabitch (09/03, 10:11AM)
Of course they would let me be one. But it’s not so much a racial thing as cultural, the sense of the Quebéois identity. However, while I understand their views and even sympathize with them to an extent, I consider myself a Canadian and would never vote for the PQ. The hijab business was a ridiculous miscue which, however, shouldn’t cloud one’s understanding of their feelings.
Ouch, these ad hominem attacks cut so deep, MM!!!
“I consider myself a Canadian and would never vote for the PQ.”
Why would you never vote for the PQ, MM? Are they stupid French rednecks?

I would never vote for the PQ because they exist for the separation of Quebec from Canada. That, and not because they are “stupid French rednecks,” is the whole point of the PQ. However, I understand and sympathize a great deal with with their predicament which is contained in the expression “survivance,” i.e., their cultural survival after having been militarily conquered by England, then, made a colony of the British Empire, and then after Canada became self-governing by the Statute of Westminster, existing in sea of English-speakers.
Principal among those things involved in “survivance” is the French language. It embodies their identity in a profound way that is alien to the English-speaking majority who look upon language more as just a means of communication. Look at the Quebec license plates with the motto, “Je me souviens” – “I remember.” What do they remember? They remember the time before the Conquest, before they became a colony of England. What they don’t want is simply to replace England with Canada which many radical nationalists view as “l’Autre” or “the Other”. But no return to France is contemplated. For the nationalist, Quebec is a special case.
In the same way, many are against a “multiculturalism” which has resulted from massive immigration into both Canada and Quebec. Unlike the rest of Canada however, the nationalist does not see Quebec as a destination for immigrants, particularly those whose dress marks them as a cultural threat to “survivance.” On the other hand, the nationalist is concerned neither with the crucifix in the National Assembly (note the word “National”) nor with the cross on the top of Mount Royal. While Quebec is officially secular, they are part of the “patronomie,” part of Quebec’s cultural identity, part of its “survivance.”
So there’s the problem: How are the charter rights of the citizen of Quebec to be upheld when they come into conflict with the demands of “survivance.” For the English-speaking majority such charter rights justly trump “survivance.” However, for the Quebec nationalist for whom the community trumps the individual, it’s not that easy. Perhaps you have a solution, but calling them “stupid French rednecks” is not one of them.
Anyway, my apologies for my extreme reaction to your initial post.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
I guess they could take a walk around “Chinatown”, smack dab in the centre of English Canada and see how simple pride works to bolster the “survivance” of a culture. I believe we brought the Chinese here as slaves to build our railroad.
“there is one dead chinaman for every mile of track”-some Chinese guy on the heritage commercials
Yet they (as a culture) have integrated themselves into every part of our country, and strive, successfully I might add, to keep their culture alive. I guess cultural pride is more important to some than others. How about the Jews, Menonites, Ukranians, Russians, Italians, etc… Are the French the only culture with such a weak resolve they need their culture to be protected by law?
Most cultures have been in wars and no less than half of them have been on the losing end. It’s unfortunate but, that’s how shit works. It seems to me that they spent the last couple hundred years mourning what they’ve lost, and continue to do so, instead of accepting the fact they are now very lucky citizens of one of the greatest countries in the world. They are protected by a Bill of Rights, a Constitution, and equal representation under the eyes of the law. They are provided education, health care, public offices, senators, MP’s, mayors, judges, courts, law enforcement, etc…just like the rest of us. If this isn’t good enough for them, they can fuck off back to France (free of charge). They, and their culture, is no more important than any other culture that survives in this country, with only the pride of their community to carry it forward.
I for one, don’t like having everything my ancestors have fought for and built thrown back in my face and told, “it’s not good enough, we want more, and not only do we want more, we want more than you”. That’s why I take offense to the PQ and anyone who supports them, and the fact that they have federal MP’s in the House of Commons leaves me with the impression that someone put them there (the only province that has them is Quebec, so I can only assume it was Quebecers) to destroy the Canada I know and love.
The problem with separatists is they look, walk, and talk just like every other French Canadian. Unfortunately it’s guilt by association.
