A similar piece of audio call stupidity occurred just yesterday:<br /><br />We have a helpdesk that call us to help people who are having problems with the AV in their meeting rooms.<br /><br />Helpdesk operator: Hi there, a customer says the spider-phone IS BROKEN in 4.4.16<br /><br />Me: OK, I'll go up there now<br /><br /><br />As I approach the room I am met by an irate man bashing the digits on phone rather intently.<br /><br />Me: Did you need some help?<br /><br />Retard: Yes, it wont dial out, I will have to move rooms. I've tried everything.<br /><br />Me: Did you put a 0 for an outside line?<br /><br />Retard: No<br /><br />I put in the number with the 0 and connect straight into BT meet me (an automated audio call bridge)<br /><br />Retard: it didn't do that before<br /><br />Me: 'biting tongue' <br /><br />I enter the code for the retards meeting and the automated voice says: please say your name and press hash....beeep.<br /><br />Retard: (Looking at me confused) what do I do now?<br /><br />Me: say your name and press hash <br /><br />Retard: Malco...beep<br /><br />Retard: This is a ridiculous system<br /><br />Me: I have to leave (walk out the door)<br /><br />I cant tell you how much I wanted to see the other participants faces when:<br /><br /> "What do I do now?
