I love call centres

TPG dude: Oh hello there, I’ve been monitoring your account and noticed your connection is down…

Me: Yes, my house burnt down

TPG dude: …so I checked out system and it was ok, so I figured there is a fault elsewhere…

Me: That *could* have been my modem melting into the floor

TPG dude: …so I called Telstra and they said that there was a fault with the line…

Me: Yep, that’s probably because the house burnt down

TPG dude: …and they looked into it and said there’d been a fire so the line was damaged

Me: Yup

TPG dude: Oh uh…sorry, that’s awful…I…sorry….Can you…er…provide proof of this?

Me: what, other than Telstra being the one to tell you? No. I can start sobbing down the phone if you like though?

TPG dude: Uh…I’ll call you back.

Thanks for the laugh TPG.
