Update: I found a slightly longer version of this, so I updated the link. It is by the same person. **Rock

The local radio station played this unbelievable Dell Sales Support Call. Is is supposedly authentic (not on Snopes) call made to Dell sales. The call starts out normally, and then goes awry - I won't spoil it for you, but you really need to watch the YouTube link below. It had me rolling on the floor laughing so hard.

The full version is available at YouTube as well - the link above is a condensed version that simply clips out the regular start-of-call stuff (i.e. name, phone, unit you want, etc.). The version above is funny because it includes pictures with the call.

The sad part is, and why it is so funny, is that we've all been on calls similar to this. OK, maybe not this bad, but I know I've been on a few that were close. And hell, when I was in Lotus tech support I've felt like blasting the customer on numerous occasions; however I did refrain myself.

Hilarious.

Enjoy!

1 - It reminds me of the time I was in Lotus support, and I got out of sync with my mute button and speaking to the customer. Instead of hearing a nice confirming, "uh huh" they were hearing "you dumb f*&k", oops. It only happened once to me, but I'm pretty sure it happened to everyone at some point in their Telephone support careers.

2 -
Just imagine for a moment, that at one time -- briefly, as I'm sure you can guess -- I did telephone support as well.

Fortunately, the are no known surviving tapes of those calls.
