Popular Post Ken Gargett Posted June 23, 2023 Popular Post Posted June 23, 2023 Pete S. One of my very best mates, way back from schooldays. Thoroughly enjoys causing the odd problem - no wonder we got on. Now lives in Melbourne. Anyway, one of his accounts with Telstra (our major telecommunications company for those so fortunate as not to have to deal with them) was not working properly - I know, shocker - so he rang up to see if they could sort it. After the usual pissing around, got some typical bloke who seems to believe that working for Telstra makes him superior to the rest of us. What drugs could manage that? Pete explained the problem and what he needed and gave account numbers etc. The tosser from Telstra then declares, "sorry mate, this account is in the name of Annabelle M (Pete's wife), and so we can only deal with her. She'll have to ring up". Pete has had a gutful. So, after a moment, he thinks about it and declares to the telstra tosser, in his best James Earl Jones' voice, "I'm Annabelle M". Complete silence. Lengthy silence. "Sorry?" "You heard me, mate, I'm Annabelle M". More silence. Of course, these days, the Telstra tosser can't challenge that without committing all manner of woke transgressions. Finally, "Yes, Ms M, what can I do for you?" And fixed the problem. I thought that was brilliant. 2 16
