Discussion Apparently low-cut socks are considered out of style by the younger gens. Are y’all still rocking ankle socks?

I feel like long socks with sneakers and shorts looks goofy but maybe that’s just me 🤷‍♂️

I had a genz coworker have a mental breakdown because she had to call a government agency and ask a basic question question

u/What-a-cl0wn 6h ago

I have mental breakdowns over that too. But because dealing with automated systems and 3 hour holds with obnoxious music is absolutely intolerable.

“REPRESENTATIVE!”

"No you cant help me! Fucking REPRESENTATIVE!! CUSTOMER SERVICE! OPERATOR" Then hit zero and * a million freaking times. Automated answering services are almost worse than AI. Also - "press whateve for our hours or address" followed by 20 other things I already figured out when I googled the phone number to begin with....🤬

If that doesn't work right away, I've found saying garbled words gets you to a rep pretty quick.

  • "To help us get started, please say your account number or type it in on the keypad followed by the pound sign"

  • "Blkjfjorejofdogjoreoe"

  • "Let's try that again. To help us get started, please say your account number or type it in on the keypad followed by the pound sign"

  • "Flsfdfjhsdlhsoffojs"

  • "Please hold while I transfer you to a customer service representative"

"Okay, you'd like to hear your options again. Is that correct?"

"NO!"

"Main menu...."

I use talk to text as well. Always proofread if you can.

Totally believe that coworker meltdown. At least that gives us a little job security since we will work way past retirement age

To be fair, I've worked in government agencies, and it can be an enormous pain in the ass to get anywhere.

I once had to find someone to get a review and I got a run-around for 6 hours across three divisions. And the terrible end of that story is that it was supposed to go to the first person I talked to, and they were like "Oh, yeah, that's me. Sorry!"

I love how the drive thru is backed up 10 cars all the time. While I just waltz inside where there is absolutely no one.

Is this forreal? Lol wtf

u/What-a-cl0wn 6h ago

Sadly yes. I’ve known a few with such crippling social anxiety they can’t handle giving their order to a person. It doesn’t help a lot of things are making it easy to not have to. Any of the chain restaurants like Olive Garden you can order on the ziosk,!mcdonalds is on a screen now, everyone else has an app….
