more language fun from my new job at the call center

[fizzgig]

i've completed my first week of training and i am learning so much about the english language that it's amazing.

i learned yesterday that forgetment is a word. as in 'those temporary badges are for forgetment.'

on the test we took yesterday, there was a question about a customer who called because 'she were charged' for something.

a few days ago, the teacher said 'we wasn't gone over that yet.'

:banghead:

1. I see the states of edumecation are in fine metal.

[fizzgig]

2. my fingers have been twitching uncontrollably

i want to just strangle the damn instructor.

also, i talked to a kid yesterday who had never played pacman :wtf: how is it that anyone has never played pacman?

[billyskank]

3. We're old, babe.

Kids today are too young even to have played Doom.

[fizzgig]

9. What the hell?

For God's sake, man, you can walk into any major retailer and buy a joystick that contains several classic arcade games (including Pac-Man) for about $20. Throw in a couple of batteries, plug the wires into your TV's auxillary input, and START PLAYING!

In fact, that is far more critical to being an American than television. Get cracking!

14. Sorry.

I'm just not into it. And modern video games give me motion sickness.

7. I never played Pacman, but I have played "pong"!

Hell, I read a newswire article recently that contained the sentences " Mr. smith called the ACLU and me. Later him and his wife got some money back" :banghead:

[SeattleGirl]

10. I've played Pacman AND Ms. Pacman!

And Tetris.

And Astroids. ("Astroids is hell!" as my ex used to say.)

How DO the kids today even make it?
