Shop Talk

Not everyone who uses a bluetooth headset is a impotent loser who thinks it makes him look important, some people use it while they are getting beaten for over cooking potatos. Some use it to talk while having phone sex. And the majority are just cell phone parrot employees that think it is the coolest thing because thats all they know. That and either...


"GSM is the world standard"

or

"Our system is all digital, built from the ground up"

or

"It's the network" (whatever the heck that means)

or

"polly want a cracker"

pizza can get to your house faster than an ambulance.

There are handicap parking places in front of a skating rink.

People order double cheese burgers, a large fry, and a diet coke.

Banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters.

People leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and leave useless things and junk in boxes in the garage.

People use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place.

People sell hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.

People use the word "politics" to describe the process so well: "Poli" in latin meaning "many" and "tics" meaning "blood-sucking crea...

Aries: Just one. You want to make something of it?

Taurus: One, but just *try* to convince them that the burned-out one is useless and should be thrown away.

Gemini: Two, but the job never gets done -- they just keep arguing about who is supposed to do it and how it's supposed to be done!

Cancer: Just one. But it takes a therapist three years to help them through the grief process.

Leo: Leo's don't change light bulbs, although sometimes their agent will get a Virgo in to do the job for them while they're out.

Virgo: Approximately 1.000000 with an error of +/- 1 millionth.

Libra: Umm, two. Or maybe one. No -- on second thought, make that two. Is that OK with you?

Scorpio: That secret information can only be shared only wi...

We've got to be able to get some reading on those pants, up or down.

The pants may not look like much, kid, but they've got it where it counts.

I find your lack of pants disturbing.

Many Bobans died to bring us these pants.

These pants contain the ultimate power in the Universe. I suggest we use it.


Han will have those pants down. We've got to give him more time!


General Veers, prepare your pants for a ground assault.

I used to bulls-eye womp rats in my pants back home.

TK-421... Why aren't you in your pants?

Lock the door. And hope they don't have pants.

You are unwise to lower your pants.

At the movies, when you meet acquaintances/friends
Stupid Question:- Hey, what are you doing here?
Answer:-Well,it's so hot , there were no cool cabs so I thought i'd watch some advertisements in the cool comfort of the theatre.

At a funeral, when one of the teary-eyed people ask
Stupid Question:-Why, why him, of all people.
Answer:-Why? Would it rather have been you?

At a restaurant, when people ask the waiter
Stupid Question:-Is the "blah blah blah" dish good
Answer:-No, its teribble and made of adulterated cement.We occasionaly also spit in it.

At a family get-together.When some distant aunt meets you after years
Stupid Question:-Munna,Chickoo, you've become so big.
Answer:-Well you haven't particularly shrunk ...

In light of the recent patriotism for everyones' states, I must ask this question (mainly for call center reps). Is there a specific area code that makes you cringe? You know what I mean. As soon as the customer gives you their mobile number, you know it's going to be a pain in the ass call.

Mine is 313. God, I hate taking calls from Detroit. It seems like every person there has some horror story involving either police or criminals. Every single one of them speaks broken English (not as a second language, they just speak poor English and it's all they know). Every single person in Detroit also thinks that they are a badass and deserve the best. It's almost like they all have that "I came up through the streets and I'm hard and yo...

So at least 3 or 4 times a day, when I am in my in-line store, a little kid, maybe 3 years old... maybe, comes in on their own to run around my store and play. i always watch them, and wait for them to try to destroy something. Eventually, but not for about 40 or 50 seconds, a parent will walk in the door way and tell them very nicely to come back outside so mommy/daddy can shop some more. What happened to the whole, "You little $hit! How dare you run away from me! Now I'm gonna spank you and drag you out of here!" I really do miss that.

dose anybody work for wirelss advocates in here, if so any info on compensation and work enviroment would be helpfull thanks in advance.

THE VIEW 😁

I know we have all had angry customers, we have all most likely been called every name in the book. But this is the first time I have heard this.

This lady told me, "I hope you have children someday and they get sick and die."

I couldn't help but laugh at her, partly because i was so shocked I had no idea what to say. So I just laughed it off and let her go on her merry way.

I'll start this one too since Verizon is hiring for a new store where I live. Just curious, what are the good things about working for Verizon directly? commissions? Corp benefits (like passes to resorts anywhere?), time for decommissioning, features, etc....

Can someone that currently works for Alltel give me some info on commissions you earn for each sale? feature or activation or upgrade?
Thanks, 😁

AH HA! I knew you told me who you were. Punk. Don't forget who I am, I know all. Everyone tells me everything. (I'm not like EJ and claim to be G/d and SEE all)

😛 Oh and your secret is SOOO not safe w/ me. You know I'm going to tell maillinfobooth, Crookdale, meandthecapnmakeithappen, ondisplay, discoinferno, my best friend jack and who ever else I forgot... 😛

🙂 So this big fat chick, comes into my store a few days ago, and ask for a headset adpter for her nokia 6101. I told her we dont carry that item in our store, however, i could look for it on our online store. I looked, we didn't carry it. I then suggested to the customer that, nokia might carry it on there web site, and offered to look it up. They had it, this Bitch started yelling about how disappointed she was with our company, and how she shouldn't have to order one from nokia cuz she'll have to pay shipping, 😢 and how she's going to cancel service. 😲 This is the stuff customers quit service over, petty ****! 😳 .I wanted to tell the Bitch to get a life, but obviously she doesnt have one. who use's corded headsets anywaz, Hello B...

May you all enjoy the "festivities." And always remember to puff, puff, pass.

That got boring real qucik.

I'm soo sick of people coming up and trying to recruit me for their cell phone company or whatever business they work for.
No I will not start my own business, by owning a website that sells shampoo and conditioner.
I already own a website and I'll make my money there if need be.
I don't care if you say that some 8th grade teacher started this two years ago and is now retiring because of it. Just STOP TALKING.

I'M CALIFORNIAN, THAT MEANS...

-I'm mexican or live next door to one

-Our chicks & dudes are WAYYYY hotter than yours

- I say "like" and "for sure" and "right on" and "dude" and "totally" and "peace out" and "chill" and I say them often

- I know what real cheese & avocadoes taste like

- I don't get snowdays off because theres only snow in Mammoth, Tahoe and Big Bear

- I go to the Beach - not "down to the shore"

- I know 65 mph really means 80

- When someone cuts me off, they get the horn and the finger and they accept it and give it back, because that's the California way

- The drinking age is 21 but everyone starts at 14 (legally 18 if you live close enough to the border)

- My governor can kick your g...

He had a credit block. There's nothing, not one single thing, I can do about it... it's not even my choice. You have to do what it says on your credit block. It's not like I'm doing it to deliberately be obstructive. Do you honestly think I want to make it difficult for you? Why would I? I'm likely to now loose my sale because you now have to visit a retail store to do the credit block things, they'll probably going to set you up there so why, dear gods, would I do it on purpose?

I'm not giving you many choices? No, I don't suppose I am because those are all the choices I have to offer you.

My fiancee (of roughly 5 days now, Yipee!) comes home the other day to tell me this call she had:

"Yes, I want to set up service in my daughter's name."

"Ok ma'am, first I would need her SSN."

"We-e-e-l-l she doesn't have one."

"How old is she ma'am?"

"Two."

😕 😕 😕 😕

Who in the name of God frickin almighty has such bad credit that they try to set up service under the responsibility of their 2 yr old child?!?!?!?!?
