Tracey Just Called From India !

[alavahalf]

A lovely lady called Tracey has just phoned me, she has an Indian accent. Where do they get these names from .. corrie ?
She said she was calling from Windows technical Department... I stopped her right there and told her" my windows were being very beautiful and had been replaced a few months ago". She insisted that she wasn't calling about my windows .. but my windows programme .... you have a virus Sir".
I said .. " are you saying my windows are dirty.. how can you see my dirty windows if you are in India ?"

I dont believe it ... she hung up on me !.. and there was me all set to have a very, very long conversation with her !

Customer service just isn't what it used to be :o)

The choice of names is very amusing, they don't seem to realise that someone named Barry Jones is very unlikely to speak with an Indian accent. They also don't realise that after 20 phonecalls from the same guy most people can actually recognise his voice so when you say 'are you from Windows technical department'? it takes the wind out of their sails somewhat.

Forgot to mention .. when I asked her to repeat her name .. I then introduced myself as .. Rahul .. ( most common male Indian name).

I bet she thought I was extracting the urine ?

I love to have these on, if I'm in the mood and I have the time.
I remember a while ago, I got a very similar phone call. I pretended to be worried about the potential virus and asked what I should do.
He proceeded to tell me to type this and that and to go to a certain website ... I played along, even though I did none of what he asked.
I then seemed concerned - I told him that a picture had started to load up on my screen and I asked him what he'd done to my laptop.
I told him that it looked like a picture of a banana boat and some words had started to load up as well.
The words said, "do you think I came in on the last *** banana boat?" .... I asked him what was going on with my laptop and what these words meant.
His reply, "one moment please, I'm googling it ..... "
I nearly wet myself laughing lol /......

Some woman rang to inquire whether I was aware I could 'may' be eligible for free solar panels a few days ago. When I told her I wasn't interested the cheeky beech said 'So aren't you bothered about saving the environment for others'. The conversation didn't last much longer.

Somebody called at the weekend, to talk about my Dyson. I told her that I didn't think I had a Dyson, whereupon she said that I must have !

I told her that I wasn't sure but that that I would ask my "wife"

So I leaned over the banisters and called down to aforesaid "wife" and asked, very loudly, if our Hoover was a Dyson ! ....."she" replied that our Hoover was a Panasonic, which I then repeated to the lady of the phone, but she had gone !

Such a disappointment !
