How Dumb Can You Be?

How Dumb Can You Be?

I guess my fuse is very short today as I am finding myself more and more irritated by really STUPID people!

I just had a subscriber call me to renew his subscription.

First of all he rattles off his name and address but it all runs together so I can't understand a single word he said.

I'm sure he didn't even know which paper he was subscribed to so I didn't even bother to ask him.

I went straight to asking him if he has his account number or label number.

He sounded confused about the question I asked him, like what do I mean by label or account number.

So I told him the number above your name on the label or if he had an invoice it would be in the box that said "ACCOUNT NUMBER"

So he rattles off the number and tells me he wants to pay with his credit card.

When I told him anytime he was ready he can read off his card number.

He says, "Uuuhh what number do you need off the card?"

I smack my head and (to myself say "Duuuuhh") Take a deep breath and told him as politely as I could the account number... the big long number across the card.

How dumb can one be?
