Why I don't answer the phone at work

[seide]

When I occasionally do get on the phone, it's generally some gum-chewing chippie thinking that it's my job to walk her through the absolute motherfucking BASICS. Sample type of conversation

This is why I don't do public contact work anymore. I no longer have the patience to deal with stupidity.

My response would have been, "I am so sorry you don't know how to use the Internet or how to do your job properly. Give me a call when you've figured it out."

There are about 300 of those people who work in my building. They're generally more interested in being 55, going to the gym and wearing four-inch heels that shove their butts into their lower backs under which, of course, are short, short skirts to show off the lovely and growing array of varicose veins. Sorry, my eyes are abused by paralegals / legal secretaries going up and down the escalator everyday.
