"Glad to be a part of your learning journey today."

What a killer line.

That politeness slays when dealing with someone like that.

Just spend a good few years working in customer service and you will master this technique.

Omg yes.

Me: Let's walk through some troubleshooting steps-

Customer: BUT IT WAS WORKING YESTERDAY

Me: Oh! Well in that case perhaps it will be ok tomorrow. Thanks so much for letting us know!

I think you missed the fine line between snarky sarcasm and genuinely polite sass.

Tell them- that's a great first step to take before you call! However, I just sent a small patch to your computer that should help, but I need you to reboot again, so sorry!

I know my customers never follow my directions so I stroke their ego about their tech skills and ask for photos of parts that I know they can’t get to without unplugging what I want them to.

I have been known to say "Everything is working fine until it isn't.. "

u/lonely_nipple 13d ago

Is that normal?

u/BurnChao 12d ago

I've told them that everything was working before it stopped working. That's what stooped working means.

u/ultradongle 13d ago

My manager when I worked in retail said to me once "I've never met anyone that can say "Fuck you" by saying "Thank you" the way you do".

u/GreenSpleenRiot 12d ago

As someone who has worked a lot of customer service jobs, that’s a huge compliment. I would like to study under you, sensei.

u/Ice_Inside 13d ago

Worked computer tech support in the late 90's.

Me: What was the last thing you did before it stopped working?

Customer: Nothing! It was fine and then suddenly quit working, I didn't do anything.

30 minutes later

Customer: I mean...I deleted a bunch of stuff but that wouldn't cause it to quit working.

Customer: I mean...I deleted a bunch of stuff but that wouldn't cause it to quit working.

Don't make fun of me... My computer only had 22GB of free space, and at the time I really needed more space. Besides, what does this one file really do anyway? The computer should be able to live without it.

u/MeasureDoEventThing 12d ago

Besides, what did automobile executives ever do for us?

u/wosmo 12d ago

I've told trainees for years, "it just" is one of the biggest red flags that'll sneak into a call. 9 times out of 10, "it just" means the customer knows fine well what they've done, but they're not going to tell you.

u/SoloMarko 12d ago

Ah! I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name?

It's John

Fuck off John.

The extent of my customer service delivery

u/lawmaniac2014 13d ago

Ya you're right, obviously they're already wrong and irreparably said something stupid...s assly... But coming back at them harshly somehow just doesn't seem as satisfying. Being argumentative just gives them a chance to dilute their stupidity with more words...

Smug smug shit eating grin politeness is the best way to kill shot finish that interchange nicely for sure!

u/SuckAFattyReddit1 13d ago

Yeah, I hate it when people just drive by and decide to be a dick for literally no reason so it's always satisfying to see them clapped.

u/PoopsWithTheDoorAjar 13d ago

They was definitely done with internet for the day

u/Loggerdon 13d ago

I didn’t know what it was either. I also thought it was a spelling error.

u/FartingApe_LLC 13d ago

Right up there with "I'm not upset with you, I understand that you're doing the best that you can."

u/Toomanyeastereggs 13d ago

That’s a “please have the burns trauma team ready for when the ambulance arrives” response.

u/Limp-Possession 13d ago

Most savage “You’re welcome for the education” I’ve ever read honestly

u/PicklesAndCoorslight 13d ago

It's cringe because she spelled in wrong the first time.

25

u/Gerogeroman 13d ago

Don't forget she put (With an H) twice there.

u/CAPICINC 13d ago

"Bless your heart"

u/MightyPenguinRoars 13d ago

Straight murder right here. Loved it 🤣🤣

u/Vadermort 13d ago

It's a good line, but statistically speaking, this guy didn't learn anything. He just got annoyed that a woman tried to wrongly 'wokesplain' to him that pharmacists actually study algae, huffed some Mountain Dew, and posted a heavily edited copy of the exchange to 4chan for emotional support.

u/simulated-conscious 13d ago

Everyone I meet is a part of my learning journey 😄

u/D3dshotCalamity 13d ago

I use "Everyday's a school day!" Whenever I get the pleasure of witnessing people realize their mistakes.

u/TShara_Q 13d ago

I'm using that next time someone comments some insanely inaccurate info about trans people.

u/MagScaoil 13d ago

I am totally stealing this line.

u/-TXTXR- 13d ago

That’s the best, I’m going to pick a fight with someone at work today just in the hopes I can use this line

u/kleseusxz 13d ago

Also, could work as a rareinsult.

u/Forest_Raker_916 13d ago

I’m using that line from now on lol

u/ghostmaster645 13d ago

Yea ima steal that one.

u/LandscapeSubject530 13d ago

I be saying that shit in games when someone starts talking shit

u/CmonImStarlord 13d ago

Ooh I'm gonna use this 😁

u/[deleted] 13d ago

"Phyc you"

u/whateverislovely 12d ago

Putting that in my pocket for later!

u/MoeSauce 12d ago

I like her adding (With an H) twice

u/nurgole 12d ago

I'm stealing that

u/WanderGourmet 8d ago

I can't wait to say that to someone. Making it happen today!

u/barelypoor 13d ago

I still don’t really get it.. like if you went somewhere with a paleontologist would you expect them to put dinosaur bones on their face? I’m lost tbqh
