"Ed Pierce is here to see you sir, and remember, it's unprofessional to roll your eyes."

Payback Time

"I'm afraid that due to a recent reorientation of forward facing customer resource functionality you're going to have to make the complaint to yourself... in triplicate."

'Your call may be monitored to give us a few good laughs.'

'Oh, hello Dave. Would you like that in untraceable, used notes, like last time?'

"Wanna play 'Waitin’ on the Cable Guy'?"

'... Further to our telephone conversation of the 3rd, my fax of the 11th, my letters of the 16th, 23rd and 28th, my emails of....'

"Don't make me send over the bad waitress."

"If you want to talk to someone uninterested, press 1..."

"No, this is the department for obfuscation, hindrance, confusion and prevarication...you want the department for sophistry, incomprehension, fudging and evasiveness!!"

"Never mind - we waited so long that we ordered pizza from the place across the street!"

Customer tangled up in velvet rope is trying to ring bell for help.

'Of course I care, madam!'

Is there anyone here from 'customer care'? Could you tell them I'll ring back as soon as I've got my new kidney in!

"You're home from work now Dear, you can go back on your default setting."

'There's supposed to be 56 million bubbles in a bottle of Champagne -- I only counted 54, 325,775.'
