Insulting aka the new flattery

Best Blogger Tips

POP QUIZ TIME- Multiple Choice Style!

Question: You are looking for work, I am offering work. Do you:
A: Call in and be polite and courteous.
B: Call and demand work in your loudest and sternest voice.
C: Call and make fun of the person on the receiving end.

Judging from the fact that you're reading this, my guess is you chose A (if not, please leave). However you may be surprised to find that A is not the common phone call here in the office! Oh, you want examples? How about one from the end of the day yesterday to get you started, today the correct answer is C!

Someone calls in bright and early and my co-worker was lucky enough to grab the phone call! Now my co-worker has one of those unisex names we all love such as Alex, Sam, Chris etc... This person calling in begins the phone call as he should, politely inquiring about work, taking notes and being respectful. When he asks for my co-workers name he abruptly shouts out "OH MAN, Your parents wanted a boy, huh?" laughs hysterically, then hangs up the phone!

This is just one example of the clearly very nice and respectful phone calls we get on a daily basis. Thank you sir for making my first post, rude phone calls to be continued!
