IOTD (Idiot of the Day)

Well, as some of you may have read on NWR, Cablevision was Tuesdays IOTD...

Wednesday, however, belongs to:

AT&T

So, step-father calls AT&T and says:

I need to cancel my service starting Tuesday, December 28

Are you sure, sir, because once you cancel, we can't give you your number back

Yes, I want it cancelled as of the 28th

Okay sir, thank you for using AT&T, we will cancel your service as of the 28th

Several minutes later....

Step-father checkes e-mail.

Dear Mr. ____

Your phone service has been cancelled.

So now, after 16 years of having the same phone number, we get a new one for the last 5 days that we live here...

Yeah, you should have seen me. Something having to deal w/ looping got screwed up, so they call us, and my step-father has just left...

So the guy tells me to go to the computer and enter a password...

What password? So my mom calls my step-father on the cell phone...

So there I am, talking to AT&T guy on one phone, and my step-father on the other... while trying to figure out what needs to be changed online...

my mother got quite a kick out of me trying to juggle multiple forms of communication...

Don't you love it that he also replied back 'as of the 28th' and still messed it up? Idiots was the right word to use!

Not all are bad. I'm a CSR and you should hear the abuse we take. But I do agree that there is no excuse for such an idiotic mistake.
