Had to call AOL the other nite. Spoke with Bob & Glen in India.

[JetsFanatic]

When they hire people in India for the AOL help line.

Do they give them a New NAME???? or is it the trend to give your child and Americanized name in India??


***My wife refuses to let me quit AOL. She wont use anything else. "c'est la vie"

 

[bunker]

I read an article on the Indian support people a while ago. They have them choose an American sounding name to use on the phone.

 

[Spac3d]

Would you rather have a name you couldn't even begin to pronounce?

 

[SaltBoy]

It's AMERICA On-line 😉

 

[Kenny]

Why did you call AOL in India?

Who's problem is that? If she won't use anything else, she can just not go on the internet.

The 800 number I called must be routed there.

 

[PlatinumGold]

for future reference "Employee" is a noun, the person EMPLOYED is called an EMPLOYEE.

"Employ" is the verb as in TO EMPLOY.

that ends our vocab lesson for today.

I believe it's "c'est la vie".

"Hi, my name is Kapeshkerninninajung. How may I help you today?"

"Well, Kapeshkerninninajung, my Internet connection doesn't seem to work even though I can log in."

"Hi, my name is Ka-pesh-ker-nin-nin-a-jung."

"Yes, Kapeshkerninninajung. I understand. Now.. how do I fix my Internet connection."

"It is Kapeshkerninninajung!!!! Kapeshkerninninajung!!! That is my name!"

"I am a cop you idiot!"

"Kapeshkerninninajung! Kapeshkerninninajung! Kapeshkerninninajung! Kapeshkerninninajung! Kapeshkerninninajung!"

"Oh, it seems my connection is working fine now, thanks."

good job. editing "when they employee people in India" to "when the higher people . . ."

of course shouldn't really expect more from a Jets fan. 🙂

Are you on dialup?

 

[dquan97]

higher /= hire

And yes, CSRs abroad use American names to build rapport with the customer.

 

[thebestMAX]

Same thing happened to me last time I called Microsoft.

Funny thing, she was in India, had an American name but her accent sounded German to me! Nice lady but not very helpful. OOPS, forgot I was calling Tech Support there for a minute.

actually. i was just kidding and was assuming that he did the "higher" thing on purpose, you know as in sarcasm.

at least i HOPE it was. 🙂

Oops. Not you, notfred. I'm talking to the poor jets fan. A wife that won't let go of AOL and team that won't make it to the playoffs. Wow, what a rough life...

 

[JetsFanatic]

ok ok

This has changed off of the topic
onto a make fun of the sleepy guy posting on AT.

Sorry for my typos and such..should be better now.

L8r,

Jetsfanatic 🙂

 

[anxi80]

just try and learn their dialect and call them for help. fight fire with fire, butcher their language as they do to ours.

 

[Ranger X]

Really? I spoke with Abu. 😛
