Me? the bastard operator from hell?

Have you ever had those days where stupid ass people call? (this is for those phone techs in the house) Well, it just happens to be one of those days. A call comes in, I say "Thank you for calling (XXX) Network Customer Support may I get your name please?" He says: "how 'bout my login" I think to myself, "Okay.. so this is a dialup cust calling about sumpthin.. but before I transfer him, I'll give him a chance."

Okay, "Sir, what is the domain name associated with this account?" he responds, I search for it. Great! it's not in our database. Okay, sir is this a new account, he says "Yes, it was just set up yesterday". To cut to the chase, 20 effing MINUTES later, he finally says, " oh, so your routing table is correct? I guess it's my NT box that isn't accepting the routes". He then says: "Okay, I'll fix it and call you back." I'm thinking to myself, wow the stat's would look good, however, DON'T CALL ME BACK IF IT WORKS!

I somehow feel like the bastard operator from hell. Can you see where my networking inspiration comes from? If I had access to his authoritative name server, I'd remove his friggin zone files just for being an idiot.
