I don't speak a word of English

Some guy I know calls up a Verizon Wireless rep and tells her to transfer him to a Spanish-speaking rep because he doesn't speak any English.  It's a complete ripoff of what I used to do to AT&T operators.

I wish my parents encouraged my prank calling habits when I was a kid.
Huh?

At my call center when people ask me for a spanish speaking rep, I'm happy. It means I get to transfer you, my average handling time goes up, and i get put back into the availibility queue for 10 minutes.

Same. "YOU SPEAKA SPANEESH?"  "No, lemme transfer you".  :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

I work in the T-Mobile prepaid division, I dunno if I ever mentioned that before.

Ditto. I'll even suggest it to people if they seem have trouble finding a word. Usually, they're too embarrassed to take me up on it, but whatever. It works enough.


Edit: Wonderful use of Payton, by the way.
