This is just SO WRONG . . . I'm on hold with HP tech support,

[ET Awful]

the hold music is Brahm's Lullaby.

:wtf: There is something very wrong about that.

:rofl:

1. Awww .... is him's sweepy now?

:boring:

That is pretty funny. :D

[ET Awful]

2. I think they do it to calm down the callers :)

it has a calming influence so we don't jump through the phone and throttle them for making us wait so damn long :)

3. Just don't flip out on the techie

Stay calm, no matter how infuriating. Just stay calm and reasonable.

Cry if you must.

It worked for me. I got a full refund on one of their crappy computers, and then had one custom-built with the $$$. Smartest move I ever made.

Good luck, though.

11. Oh, it's not for my computer, I build my own.

It's for a server at work, the back-up drive croaked and I need to have them overnight a replacement :)

4. Calls take time when they are being directed to India

The music is to calm you down so that you don't become Irate when you get someone on the phone from India. :wow:

6. When it switches over to a Ravi Shankar raga, you'll know.

7. Do you want a laugh?

I gave them my address in San Francisco one time and they wanted to know what State that was in :rofl:

[Richardo]

8. *gulp*

:rofl:

Did they try to convince you they were in the states?

[Old_Fart]

9. "Yes"

I asked "Mike" how the weather was and he was stumped. He claimed that he was out east and I asked him east of what state. The phone went dead silent :rofl:

5. I just called Hertz

to rent a car in August. I asked the Rep who answered the phone if there was a senior discount as I'm travelling with my mom and she would qualify. OUT OF THE BLUE the guy says, "How old is she? My grandmother is 102" I thought he was questioning whether my mom had her faculties and was able to drive. So......he then tells me if people keep living longer there will be no social security.....AND if people didn't have abortions there would be no problem with social security when people his age retire.!

WTF? I told him I'm calling from Canada using their 1-800 number.
I ask him where he is, he tells me Utah.

I said if his president keeps killing off young people to fight his illegal war there won't be a need for social security anyway. Not a good comeback but holy crap I was in shock! This came out of no where!!
