    Frustrating isn't it!?

    I usually act like a whiney little girl until I get an English speaking person. Just keep saying "what" "huh" or whatever till they get tired of it and get someone on the phone that speaks English.

    This is why I did not follow in line with everyone with everyone else when working overseas and get married to an Asian girl, I do not like language barriers and dating a Pilipino was a challenge due to language. I found me an American girl who does not have a language barrier except for maybe accent/slang issues [:D] She tells me I have a southern accent, I most certainly do not and the many folks on here I have met or spoken to via phone will tell you I have no daggum accent!!!!

    Huh, most of the call centers I seem to talk with are in the Philippines, where apparently everyone, including the women is named George, or India, where most seem to be named Tiffany, or Andrew. I could habla more easily.

    A while back I bought a DeWalt pressure washer and I had a small problem with the pick-up for the soap dispenser and needed to ask a question about it. I called their customer service line and some Spanish speaking woman answered the phone. After a couple of minutes of trying to understand what she was saying I finally asked if she'd put someone on the line that spoke English. She just hung up on me! So I says to my self if those A holes want to play that way I'll just take the damn thing back and that's what I did. I took it back to Home Depot and got my money back. I guess they think that hiring those illegals save them money. I'm going to do that for everything I buy in the future that I have a problem with. They put a foreigner on the line that I can't understand, then it's going back for a refund!! [:(!]
