I AM NOT SIMPLE.

[Bob Wright]

I called AT & T about the inability of connecting to the internet. Well, you know who, or rather, what I was talking to. After answering one question very plainly, the mechanical voice said, "You can talk to me in complete sentences."

[Wyandot Jim]

Well That is pretty plain to me. They knew you were from Tennessee. One word is not a sentence. You need to speak American

Bob just pushing your leg

Gary Cooper made a career out of one-word sentences . . .

"Yup."

"Nope."

I feel and fully understand your frustration.
It upsets me when I ask a question and the only possible answers are, no, yes and I don't know, yet I get a ramble of excuses or questions.
We talk slow and deliberate in the south. A child could understand.
Bob, you should try being from East TN. A chair and a char are the same. Same as tire and tar.
Most phone calls requiring me to speak to automated machines fail.
We ain't simple by no means. Simple understandable answers are our way.
I hope that machine won't call you again. Jest hang up.

I knowed that. And flares air what grow in the yard.

Old joke:

Dentist, to patient in dentist's chair, using air gun to blow away tooth grindings:

"You feel that air?"

Patient: "That air what?"

I learned a long time ago when I get the mechanical voice to either say representative or hit 0 to get a warm body, sometimes it takes doing that over one over but it usually works. And if you get one of then foreign folk I ask for a supervisor or someone who speaks SOUTHERN ENGLISH.

Sorta like the good ol' boy who was taking liberties with the speed limit when pulled over by a state trooper.

The good ol' boy rolls down the window and the trooper asks, "Got any I.D.?"

To which he responds, " "Bout what?"

Use the secret password whenever you call AT&T to talk to a human being. Secret password is: "Agent". It works.

 

[Big Old Boy]

I don't need an agent just a person.

We just dropped our AT&T internet,, and reduced our phone package from them. Miss Penny called them,, and was speaking,, initially with a guy in the Philippines. She specifically asked for an American rep. He kept on saying he could help her. Well, when she finally told him of her requests,, he said; "Oh, you need to discuss that with a tech rep in the US, let me connect you."
And when she got to an American,,, cold,, uncaring attitude. They didn't ask why we were dropping them,, or anything like that. AT&T is not a customer friendly company,,, especially if you live out in the rural country where they refuse to offer top service. I call it "living in their screw you area."
Gosh forbid you try & speak southern english with them.

 

[#1rugerman]

Yep you have to talk real slow with them foreigners and Yankees so they can understand SOUTHERN ENGLISH.

I had 3 calls yesterday I didn't want., and this time only one was a recording. Told a gal from "Senior Services" not to call again, and then spent some time trying to understand someone who wanted to speak to Jose Hernadez. When convinced him, as politely as I could, that the had the wrong number, he wanted to know if I knew where Jose was? I need to take a tip from the Texas Legislature, and start giving those callers the Houston ICE office number!

Having a sister-in-law that is from Boston I have to agree with you. Altogether different language there. Of course if I ask for a bottle of pop and have them put it in a sack they don't understand me.

Actually Bah Haba is in Maine. :roll:
