I'm losing my shit right now, because my officemate is using his speakerphone (I have no idea WHY!) to try and use Ticketmaster's automated ticket booking phone service to get a ticket to see Sting.
The problem is..
a) he has a very faint voice
b) he doesn't speak very good english
Transcript:
SPEAKERPHONE: "Sorry, I didn't quite hear that. What concert would you like to go to?"
OFFICEMATE: Steeng
SPEAKERPHONE: "Sorry, I didn't quite hear that. What concert would you like to go to?"
OFFICEMATE: Steeng!
SPEAKERPHONE: "Sorry, I didn't quite hear that. What concert would you like to go to?"
OFFICEMATE: STEEEEEEEENG!
SPEAKERPHONE: "Sorry, I didn't quite hear that. What concert would you like to go to?"
OFFICEMATE: FUCK YOU!
SPEAKERPHONE: "Sorry, I didn't quite hear that. What concert would you like to go to?"
OFFICEMATE: *click*
He's been trying this for 30 minutes now.
I'm honestly shocked, given where I work and everything.
I mean, it's ok to go to ticketmaster.com, dude! The Bill G. is not monitoring you, and if so, he doesn't give a shit!
This isn't an issue of me making fun of a guy's lack of being able to speak American English. This is just an issue of basic logical approaches to booking tickets at work.. which is a fucking CENTER OF SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY! HELLO!

Your search - "sting using a speakerphone" - did not match any documents.
