I’m Pissing Everyone Off Today

Phone Conversation w/ a Supplier (who has an Indian accent): Me: This is James Safety-Kleen: This is [someone whose name I already forgot] from Safety-Kleen. I’m calling to inquire on a past due invoice 0019916036 for $659.25. Me: Hold on while I pull up your account SK: Thank you. This is an outstanding invoice since 1/31/02. Me: Ok. I don’t have that on our books. If you fax over the invoice, I can take care of that this week. SK: Ok. There are also four other invoices that are past due dating back from 2001. Me: [laughing] Sorry about that. For some reason I find that humorous. SK: Um… Ok. Can I get your fax number? [completely confused] Me: 310-***-****. SK: Can I get your full name and title please? [tone: I’m telling on you bastard] Me: James Bramlett, Accounts Payable Manager. SK: Um… ok. Bye Sheesh. People seriously need to lighten up.
