Calling the official forces
Filed Under (Humour, News)
Have you ever called up an office or even Pizza Hut? When they pick up the phone at the other end, they usually say “Good morning” and a sentence following that in a really fast and low tone. So basically there isn’t any use of saying that. I don’t even know whether I’ve called up the right place because all I can make out is just Good morning, and very rarely, you can understand the ‘How may I help you?’. This isn’t just an issue with restaurants and offices, even the big hotels and companies do it. I mean, cant they hire someone who can talk for more than one second with a consistent tone and volume?? It’s really irritating when that sentence after the “Good Morning” happens to be “Please hold on”. So, at that point of time, I’ve heard “Good Morning” some mumbling and the line just goes blank after that. Should I hang up, or should I wait on the line? Pretty irritating, to be honest. Nobody’s in a hurry so you don’t have to rush through the sentence. Is there a tornado right outside the building? Even if there is one, I doubt that you have a chance to make it since you’ll be busy repeating the sentence to me.
And in the restaurants, the sentence happens to be the specials menu of the day, so after I hear the incoherent sentence, I generally ask him for the specials menu and the guy makes a sound as if to say ‘ I just said it’ and he repeats the menu again, slowly. Now, why couldn’t he have done that in the first place? I’m sure he realises that he’s speaking at the speed of light and noone can understand him unless you get a time machine and slow down time to listen to him. If I can actually understand that first sentence after the “Good Morning”, I might whatever they’re selling even if I’ve got the wrong number just for the reason that someone in that company has the brains to hire people who can speak properly. This is one of the main reasons for the development of automated phone systems.
