has any one ever been so frustrated that you wanna burn down your place of business? it might sound a little over the top but some customers really know how to drive you to the edge. I work at a call center for prepaid and i dont think it could be any worse.. honestly, the only thing keeping me "sane" is knowing that I am not the only person that has to put up with this kind of thing.. how does every one cope with their job? âšī¸
...
I kill people, then make their bodies dance like puppets.
It's not much, but it takes the edge off at the end of the day.

Understand the following.
Arson = 3-5 years pending no loss of life.
Arson + Murder 1 = Life Sentance (20+ years)
Quit = Free?
You pick...
Outside of that...just bottle it up. Wait until the last day, when that manager of yours is all up in your face. Then just... "let it go."
...
it sucks because no matter how bad i want to quit and how bad it gets.. i dont have another choice but to stay.. it is the smartest and "responsible" choice. besides its the highest paying job ive had.. so im pretty screwed..
...
I take deep deep satisfaction that While I only have to put up with stressfully people for a short short time, That person is going to mesriable for the rest of thier lives

This has given me new hope in life. Thanks!
...
yea its awsome.
When a customer is right in the middle of a temper tantrum just smile and take relief in the fact that this poor misrable soul is going to go threw life this way.
They want nothing more then to spread thier misiery out to the entire world. THEY WANT you to frustrated , they want your day to be hard.
Just sit back and smile, Dont give them that kind of power. You know the truth...they are just screwed up people
...
I go home and drink until my wife is pretty again đ đ ..........Nah I'm really just a drunk. 𤤠đ¤¤
...
lol thats funny.. and fu**ed up at the same time.. well i guess we all have our ways of dealing with things.. đŗ
...
As long as you remember its only a job and you leave it when you are off, then you'll be fine.
If you let it get to you, then every day is just going to be a miserable experience for you.
No matter what job you have, you will in some way, shape or form, deal with people who will drive you nuts. Learn to deal with it and rise above it.
...
i drink alot......i mean alot
no really like i make david hasselhoff look good
oh and alot of one night stands
that could be because of the drinking though
...
Strange...I feel like you're a kindred spirit!
...
its nice too bad i live in iowa lol
...
I almost moved there once for a job. Decided that it probably sucks and went to Cape Cod instead. Now I'm in Indiana.
Love@phonescoop.com LOL
Kidding. But if you're ever in town, hit me up for some beer and a one night stand.
...
Next time you spend two hours on the call from hell, distract yourself by calculating exactly how much you're getting paid for just that one call. I know I'd accept $20 to get yelled at, every time.
...
Oh yeah, forgot step 2: Quantify that payout in the milliliters of alcohol it'll purchase you.
...
I beat the hell out of raycarroll's children
...
apparently very poorly, i think i'm losing it.
...
Mary Jane!!! *sings rick james, mary jane* đ
...
Long day of this đŗ
puff the magic dragon when i get home. đ
some quality time with the gf đ˛
go to work the next day đ
been doin it for 3 years đ
...
Sounds like the life man...I envy you đ
...
Thanks, but I left out a couple things....
my boss is an idiot đ
the customers are all retarded đ¤¤
and as far as i'm concerned my companies home office didn't get hit hard enough by hurricane ike đŋ
that last part was mean, but damn sales has gotten old lol.
...
Beer works wonders on the days i just want to stay home after the job. Xbox is a good distraction from reality, plus i get a chuckle when i hear some 20 something year old guy get yelled at by his mother on the other side of the mic. "steven when are you going to take the garbage out like your father asked you to?" hah priceless. Then of course I go back to work and take my frustration out on my employees by making them stock accessories and organizing the walls while i fix their mess ups.
...
What I do is a tall glass of spirits, and a smoke, with friends over till late and play some spades, just about every night, It always starts off with me venting about work then they give me my glass and it's all good. 𤤠đ¤Ŗ
...
Sit and drink beer as I play on the x-box as my mom yells at me something about the garbage and how dad has been asking me to take it out or something or other. The funny part is as I am playing on my x-box, I can hear some 40+ aged men on the other end and hear.... "Frank, you are 43 years old. Don't you think it's time to move out of our house and stop playing stupid video games!?" Then I go to work and count the hours till I can hop back on the x-box.
...
Do you take you METH Rectally? For all the good it does, you might as well shove it up your ass, right? đ
...
You're really on this white trash meth kick today, aren't ya?
...
yeah. But I love girls with beer. đ
...
who doesn't? I brew my own. One day, I'm going to make a fine redneck wife.
...
lols. Sorry I don't handle the rednecks. I like a country girl, with some class and some ass... Red necks missing some of that combo.
Much love still
...
lol. In reality, I'm not even a touch of country. I use proper grammar, and even know the difference between who and whom. Plus, I hate horses and Budweiser. My usualy homebrew is an extra spicy pale ale. I'm the weirdo who lives downtown and commutes out of the city every day. Perhaps I'm snooty.

Another home brewer?
Hell yea, I used to ferment my own wine, and distill my own vodka, but I don't really enjoy either drink enough. More my old roommates deal.
...
I search for another job and see that they want to pay too little for all the crap requirements. Then bills start coming in and I psych my self out before work saying, "I am going to speak to a lot of dumb idiots today, but it pays the bills" (At least until I find a better job.)
...
Honestly, I buy season passes to all the nearest amusement parks (ie, Carowinds, Cedar Point, Dollywood, etc) and then drive to them after work or wait till the weekend. I also have a girlfriend that *insert sexual inuendos here* as I tell her about my rough day, and continue to take out my aggresion until it's over! đ
...
it's the only way i can make it through some days!! and the fact of knowing i have all the customer's info infront of me, but they have no idea who i am because i'm in a call center. plus even though we have to give our last name, my name is spelled weird, so they'll never find me
...
ah yes the little magical pill with that relaxes you, I miss'em đ¤¤
...
yeah i learned the power of the magical pill after a recent break up. now they just help me deal with my job. i dont take it all the time, but there's some days i wonder what i ever did without it. đ
...
Ya I "fell" into them via a friend, it was like take a quarter, drink a beer, take a quarter, drink another, and repeat so on, and so on, well just for 1 bar. đŗ
...
im still at the "take a quarter faze". they seem to do the job. im really careful though because i know i can fall easily into something really hard. i've learned my lesson with things like that.
...
ya that sucks... đ˛ Control is the key!
...
f*ck a quarter. i take a whole one, drink a beer, hop on my bike, and take on the world đ
...
đ˛ you sir like to live life a little more dangerously than me!! i must say i am jealous!!
...
I go to yoga class or the gym. I also have started trying boxing something about punching stuff is so soothing.
...
i just ignore everything around me and just concentrate on my next paycheck đ¤Ŗ đ¤Ŗ đ¤Ŗ
...
you're kidding, right? Stress from selling wireless? I'm sorry, but did somebody die because you got them the wrong phone? Do you think you're driving people out of their houses and into the streets because you couldn't match another carriers plan? What the hell kind of stress is there here? I've worked part-time for 3 years, and it's very relaxing compared to teaching teenagers, which is my regular job. My manager is one of the most relaxed people I know, and this is his career. He's 30 with a wife and kid, but I'm guessing he sleeps pretty well at night. If this job stresses you out, you need to find another job.
