So it's been 2 weeks since I made my vlog....and traffic has increased on my blog by 300%....what the hell...where are all these people coming from? Thank you for reading though. Anyway... I know I don't write as often as everyone would like..but University os a bitch... actually...I'm only writing now to avoid doing homework that needs to be done HAHA!. OH! and Happy Thanksgiving to everyone... I mean..it's the most useless holiday ever...but I'm thankful for it...(did you see what I just did there.. thankful for thanksgiving???) haha....
SO today, I'm going to share with you something that bothers me AND my quick-fixes for is. This topic was actually brought up by the mom of a good friend of mine.
SO first on the list.... The people at call centres. Ok WHAT THE FUCK? is there some criteria which states that in order to work at a call centre, English has to be your second language and that you have to be of fucking Indian decent? I mean...I'm not racist by any means... but if you expect people to call you with their problems with, lets say, their phones (Bell is the absolute worst for this) you should at least expect to be able to understand what the fuck the person helping you is saying. IT'S MADNESS!!!!!
And honestly... what is so appealing for these East-Indian people at a call-centre anyway? It's not they're serving mango-curry chicken everyday....
Skyler's quick-fix: When you first call, (and this works in Canada only I presume) and you're faced with the annoying son of a bitch robot on the other end saying: "For English, press 1. Pour les services en Français, appuyer sur le 2" (english translation: "For French, hit 2") ALWAYS hit the french. Even if your French is limited to "Je m'appelle" and the eponymous baby seal "phoque". Everytime I've done this, you're connected with someone white, who can also speak English!!!! Think about it... in today's society, it's SUPREMELY uncommon to speak only French!!! So when you're finally connected with the french bitch on the other end, just say you hit the wrong button... chances are she'll just help you anyway. I'm so clever I scare myself.
Happy Groping!
