I hate rude/stupid people

The receptionist always forwards calls to me if she doen't know who they should go to.  Well today I got the rudest phone call I've had in the 2.5 years I've worked there.  I work for an insurance broker (basically we're the middle man between insurance companies and employers).  I answered a call that was transferred to me with our standard greeting to have the woman on the other line ask "Do you have dental?!".  I asked her to repeat her question thinking I'd missed something.  Nope, she repeated the same question in an even more rude tone. I asked her to what she was referring to, and her reply was "Well aren't you an insurance company?!" I told her we are a broker for insurance and that we don't sell insurance but we can place it.  I asked if she was seeking individual or group coverage.  She snapped back, "Individual".  I told her "unfortunatley we don't broker individual coverage".  She then shouts back at me, "Well why didn't you say so ***!" and hung up on me.

What in the world makes someone behave like that?!!! Calls like that make me want to get out of a customer service position.

Re: I hate rude/stupid people

  • Some people just don't have any manners/respect for others.  When I worked in customer service they told us "some people just have bad days".  Basically telling us that we just had to take their abuse.  Even if I was having a bad day I would never act like that.  Sorry you had to deal with her today.

  • When people act like that I just get super duper nice.  It pisses them off more.  LOL 
  • That's the kind of call that makes you thankful you don't have to deal with that person everyday. I don't deal with a lot of rude people but I'm guaranteed at least one conversation a day with a complete moron. The kind of phone call that makes your head hurt.
  • Wow, that is so rude! Sorry you had to deal with that :(
