The BlackBerry

As you all know, I was out last week.  Everyone knows that.  Everyone but my callers.

My morning started off with one particular rude caller.  NBD.  I mean, it is Tuesday after all.  The reason I've picked this wonderful gentleman to talk about is because he's just so ridiculous!  What's his face calls, and as soon as he starts talking, I know he's going to be miserable.

He's been calling since last week.  He's left messages.  No one has gotten back to him.  

Um.. ok.  Well I'm sorry sir, but there are two receptionists.  And.. I was actually out last week.  How can I help you?

SIGHHHHHHHHHHH, let me explain it, AGAIN.

He goes into detail about how he found a blackberry, and upon turning it on, it says our company's name and has a number to call if lost.  (side note - really?! do other companies do this?? I guess it makes sense, but it just seems weird!)

Anywho, he's been calling trying to speak to the appropriate person to be able to figure out what to do with the phone.  

I give him a couple of names of people in the telecommunications department that he should speak to when he barks at me that he left messages for those people already.

Ok, well people were out last week, so I really recommend talking to Kate, and she'd be able to help.

Kate's voice mail says email is the best way to get a hold of her

Ok, let me get you Kate's email address

I DONT NEED THAT.  I NEED HER TO PICK UP HER DAMN PHONE!!!

Seriously? Would you be that angry because you found a phone, and no one returned your call stating you found it?

Apparently this guy was that angry.

He threatened to throw out the phone, or maybe he will just keep it!  Uhhh, go ahead buddy, I DON'T CARE.  Why do people threaten me with pathetic lines?  I'm not going to lose sleep over the fact that you throw out at phone that's not mine!


The jackwagon calmed down enough for me to transfer to Kate and I have to believe all went well.  He never called back.  


Whyyyyyyyyyy do people yell at receptionists? Do they think that will help them?? Someone please explain this to me!  And seriously... a phone makes you that upset? I can only assume he steals candy from babies and pushes toddlers down.


What a loser.
