Okay, so... as you all know I got a new job, no longer working in a call center. But I figured I'd share some life lessons of experience gained from there as I can remember them.

It's okay to be racist, if the person perpetuates the stereotype.
A customer who was a self-entitled bitch who felt everything should be handed to her and would only accept anything in her own way and no other way. This woman was African American.
A very very frivolous and even tried to haggle our prices with us... this is a vast majority of Middle Eastern and/or South Asian (Indian) customers.

If you're offended by anything that gets posted to this or this thread... tough shit, blame it on those who perpetuate these stupid ass stereotypes!

Don't all Geologists take their drinks on the rocks?

Seriously though. These people are what perpetuate stereotypes. I mean no disrespect to anyone specifically. And I'm not actually racist myself. but when you have people who act like this and are part of an obvious "minority"... it just keeps that going

dont make fun of geologists. Without them you wouldnt have your fancy anything made of plastic/metal/polymer/alloy/etc.
Also we got people hooked on asbestos

Every call where someone forgot their account details erodes a little more of my soul.

Sometimes I feel like you need to not take the job personally to survive.

People are stupid in every job. What changes, what helps you keep sane, is not caring and moving on with your life instead of letting them drag you down.
