Stupid Bosses
My boss yelled at me today, and I DO mean yelled.
He repeatedly said I was a “effing moron”. (censored for online purposes of course). Then he called me an “incompetent moron”.
Then he sent me an email and said he gives me “simple instructions that even a complete moron could follow”.
He accuses me of the most weird random stuff. Things that I did not do at all. Things that are so weird, its almost frightening to see into this man’s mind and anxiety.
I work for a small, privately owned business wherein im the only other person in the office. Times are hard, the economy is horrible and I need this job, but i cannot survive….not with a hostile work environment like this.
Stupid Customers
Me: “Thank you for calling, how can I help?”
Caller: “Is there a Kristie there?”
Me: “We have a Kristie, but is she an older woman or younger woman?”
Caller: “Older. She’s like a manager.”
Me: “Oh… well, then you need to call the Newport Beach store. She’s at that one.”
Caller: “Oh! Okay, what’s their number?”
Me: *gives number*
Caller: “Okay… now, can you transfer me?”
Me: “Um… no, we don’t do that. We’re not a call center.”
Caller: “Okay, so how do I call them?”
Me: “… You dial the number I just gave you.”
Caller: “But how do I do that?”
Me: “You dial 1, then the numbers I gave you.”
Caller: “Is that it?”
Me: “Can I ask how you dialed this store?”
Caller: “I dialed 411!”
Me: “Have you been 411-ing your entire life with the phone?”
Caller: “Of course. How else do you dial other people?!”
Me: “Uhh… well, then you’re all set. Thanks and have a good day.”
Stupid Family Members
My brother-in-law was going to buy my sister a new computer for her birthday. He told me he was even going to buy her a copy of Google for it. She’s so lucky
