Reality Joke 4 - Your call is important to us.

One day, my daddy told me his personal experience on dealing with one of the big phone company in town. Here is the details:

Dad called into the 1-800 number and have been waiting for a long time:

Phone company: Your call is very important to us, please do not hang up, blah blah blah.......
My dad (yelling at the system): How important?
CSR(suddenly transferred to a real person): Good morning Sir, my name is blah blah, what can I help you today?

Ever since then, my dad kept yelling at those system voices whenever he called 1-800 as he thinks that someone is actually listenly to the customers and once they identified that you are angry, you will get moved up the queue. :)
