And now for today's edition of "WTF?".

WTF is up with people calling a business and stating/asking "Yeah, someone from there just called me?".

At least once a day some yahoo will call here and say this to me. Like I have magical insight into who in my office is making what phone calls to whom. Inevitably the caller is both surprised and dissapointed by my lack of ESP:

Me: Good Morning XXXX Company.
Caller: "You just called me?"
Me: Excuse me?
Caller:"Someone from your office just called me?"
Me: I'm sorry I have no idea
Caller: This is Jeff
Me: Ok Jeff I'm sorry I have no idea who called you
Caller: What company is this?
Me: XXXXXX
Caller: Well who works there?
Me: Click

Isn't it a teeny bit desperate to blindly call a number on your missed call list when whoever called didn't even deign to leave you a voicemail? Methinks yes. And am I seriously going to read this person a list of the names of all 100 people who work here?

Evidently no.




On a completely unrelated note, I am in a bad mood. I still have a wretched consumptive cough that 1) kept me up all night and 2) caused me to pull muscles in my neck. Pauvre moi.

OMG, this used to happen to me at the front desk all the time too! It's so fucking annoying! Especially when the guy on the other end gets all uppity and insists that someone from there just called him, like just now. DUDE, I don't know who the fuck it was! I would usually tell them in a clipped voice to check their voicemail. Click!

AARGH!! One of my biggest pet peeves ever. If it were important, whoever called you would have left a message, or they'll call you back!
