That's true too. I thought she was Spanish(or at least sang most of her music that way). The call center ruined any appreciation I could have had for that language. It's your second language isn't it? ^_^;

You have no idea the torture your people put me through every night!!
Ucchan: "Hi may I speak to Jose Rodriguez?" (Everyone's named that I think. Very original, like a language that consists of two sylables) Other line: "..." Ucchan: "Hello...?" o_O Old woman: "...Bueno?" Ucchan: "May I speak to Jose Rodriguez please?" Old woman: *speaking in Spanish* *Clamor* Brat: "...Bueno?" Ucchan: "Hi may I speak with-" Brat: "Bueno?" Ucchan: "Can you hear me?" Brat: "Si..." Ucchan: *sighs* "May I speak with Jose Rodriguez?" Brat: "Who?" Ucchan: "Jose. Rodriguez." Brat: "Which one?" Ucchan: *holding back a groan and a migrane* "The oldest one..." Brat: "That's me. There's five of us here." Ucchan: "I must have the wrong number. Thank you..."
and that's my better days!
@Estu: Pale is a songname.

To us it's only a barrel of laughs when the calls last only a few seconds. Not drag out for ten minutes before someone finally comes on the phone to say what I knew all along; that no one there speaks a word of English.

Here's some more worthy mentions. 100% authentic calls Ucchan had to deal with on only one day: Starting out a normal day: SC: Hello? Me: Hi may I speak with- SC: NO YOU MAY NOT! Click! Thank you. Next: SC: Hello? Me: Hi may I speak with ? SC: This is her is there a message? Me: o_O
What did she want me to say, "That's okay I'll call back when all your lights are on?" Anyways, next:
SC: Hi welcome to may I take your order? Note: We're not supposed to be calling businesses on this program, so whenever we get a business we are supposed to exit the call. Me: I'm sorry I must have the wrong number. SC: You called . Me: Yes, and I apologize for my call. Tha- SC: You just called so make an order! Th(thought): You must be kidding me -_- Me: No that's fine, thank you. SC: Whatever, stupid b***h. Click!
Funny, I don't remember seeing that name anywhere in my birth certificate. Next:
SC: Hello? Me: Hi may I- Click! Me: o_O
The usual classics. I get them about 50 times a day.
After about a half hour of this a supervisor tells me she wants me to go on another program. In this program all I'm doing is calling old cardmembers from a company and activating their new cards and reminding them to destroy their expired ones. Easy right? Wrong:
SC(Man with a very thick southern accent): Hello? Me: Hi may I speak with Amber ? SC: ... Me: ... Hello? SC: Do I sooooound like an Aaaaamber to you? Me: (Startled by the loudness of his voice) N-No sir. May I speak with her please?
That call began promising -_- Next:
SC(man): Hello? Me: Hi may I speak with Heather ? SC: Okay sure. Hang on a second. Th: It took me an hour and I finally get a sensible call... SC: (Same guy, imitating a woman voice) Hi. This is Heather. Me: -_- I'll call back another time... SC: GOOD! Click!
*sighs* Next:
SC(man): Hello? Me: Hi may I speak with ? SC: Will... you give me... A BLOW JOOOOOOOB?! Snap! That be my patience Click! That be SC hanging up Me: (looking at the address and seeing it's California) You gonna pay for my plane ticket buddy?
At that point I gave up and took a few minutes off. Starting a shift as a TSR is the hardest part of the day.

Puppet you might laugh at this one. I did after the call ended and the aftermath later xd
People:
Me: The victim Th: What I'm thinking Mon: The person monitoring the calls and listening in(making sure I'm doing my job) G: Some innocent girl on the other line SOB: The other girl that came on after the first one
So I get the call in(automatically thank God!)
Beep!(That be the call coming in)
Me: Hi may I speak with ? G: Okay hang on *places phone down* ... SOB: Hello? Me: Hi may I speak with- *interupted* SOB: I'M NOT GAY! Me: ... *Shocked* What? SOB: I'M NOT GAY! Me: I didn't say you were, may I spea- *Interupted again* SOB: ARE YOU GAY?! Me: Um... no? *still shocked* SOB: Good. I hate talking to those queers. Anyways, what were you saying? Me: *regaining posture* Well, may I spea- *interupted again* G: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!! SOB: Oh my God! Hang on a second! *puts phone down* Me: *being safe, in case she was still there* Okay ma'am. *screams stop* SOB: I'm terribly sorry about that. That was my sister falling down the stairs Th: You sure you didn't just push the for girl down the stairs? You seem like the type. SOB: Anyways, what were you going to say, sorry about that. Me: It's okay. May I speak with ? SOB: That's me. What can I do for you? Th: Getting back on due course... Me: Hi this is Ukyo Kuonji calling on behalf of your . SOB: Okay. Th: Well, this could get back to normal. Me: I'm calling today to wel- *interupted* SOB: Oh my God! My boyfriend's pulling his d**k out! Hold on one second! *places phone down* Me: ... *to stunned to speak* SOB: Oh my! I'm back. Th: Unfortunately... Me: Okay. I'm calling today- *Interupted yet again* SOB: Did you hear what I said? Me: ... You mean a minute ago? SOB: Yeah. Me: ... *Thinking carefully about what to say next* Yes. SOB: What did I say? Th: You want me to repeat something like that in a business? No can do. Me: ... Um... I'm not exactly capable of saying that here... *silence on the other line* It seems like you're busy, I'll call back another time...
Upon saying that I attempt to say what's called a TCPA which is pretty much giving the customer a toll free number in case there were questions. After two attempts and being interupted by sounds of her fondling the phone in a very sexual manner(that I never hope to hear on the phone again I must add), I put the sound as low as I can get it and I said the TCPA over her(Three strike rule baby!). When I finished I rolled up the volume again, to see if she's still there. Unfortunately she was, and still having her fun with the phone. At that point I hung up on her. A few minutes later a monitor came down and sat next to me with a paper in her hand...
Mon: Take your next call and hang up. Th: Oh great what did I do wrong? Me: Okay. *takes next call, sweating bullets the whole time* Me: Okay, what did I do wrong? Mon: Wrong? Nothing. I just wanted to show you how you did. Th: Sitting next to me and you're saying that? Why don't I believe you? Me: Well you normally don't sit down like this unless... you know. Mon: Yup. And here's what I'm here for. *She passes me the paper* Me: *Reading report* Oh no... Th: You HAD to get me on that call! HAD to! Mon: I wanted to congratulate you. You did a good job. Me: I DID? o_O Mon: Yup. That's all. Good night. And since you are our best performer tonight you won $20. *She leaves after getting my signature on the paper and giving me $20 bill* Me: *Sat down with the headphones in one hand, $20 bill in the other* ... o_O;
