One of my favourite rants is, when giving personal details to ‘the person’ behind the counter I am asked the question (sorry, that’s tautologous…) - I am asked ‘Thank you, and what was your name?.’ I reply ‘Well, it was Olive, and funnily enough, it still is?’ This provokes a blank look which I would love to video just to show them.
Another is, when registering a complaint, ‘the person’ will acknowledge with a cheery ‘No problem’ and then look confused when I remonstrate with ‘But that is why I am here, because there IS a problem.’
On the Victor Meldrew point, if I do approach either ‘the person’ or the telephone, in search of a solution to a problem my wife always instructs me ‘Now, don’t do a Victor Meldrew, you’ll get nowhere…’
There are hundreds more but I shall exit stage left, and continue to enjoy this amusing thread
