CALL 1 : ( 9948007356 )
Fe: Hello sir, this is from IDEA customer care.
Me: Yes please
Fe: Sir, since you are a trusted customer who have been with us for long; we are giving you a free sim card sir.
Me: We already have two add-on cards. Don't need any more, thank you!
Fe: Blah blah blah blah
Me: No thanks
Fe: Blah blah
Me: Bah
Fe: Blah
Me: Bye
Five minutes later
CALL 2 : ( 9948007362 )
Fe: Hello sir, this is from IDEA customer care.
Me: I have an extra sim card, do you want one?
Fe: Yes sir, I have an extra sim card, do you want one?
Me: Grrr. Who's this speaking? Your name please
Fe: ( something like ) Nafees
Me: Where are you talking from?
Fe: ( in a low voice ) Karkhana
Me: Where exactly?
Fe: Sir, IDEA main office.
Me: What place did you say?
Fe: Panjagutta ( in a even lower voice )
Me: Hmm
Fe: Sir, why are you asking all this?
Me: I just received a call from the same office. If you are really concerned about serving trusted customers you would've known the fact that... wlah wlah wlah wlah
Fe: Sorry sir, please don't be angry.
Me: I am not.
Fe: Your voice sounds like that. Sorry sir, we will not disturb you again.
Me: Its alright. Bye :)
I felt very awkward, because that was the first time ever I lost my cool over the phone. ( and possibly for no reason ). Poor girl, she must have been so annoyed. I was halfway through calling her back and saying sorry when...
CALL 3 : ( 9948007361 )
Me: Hello
Fe: Hello sir, this is from IDEA customer care.
Me: Yeah?
Fe: Sir, since you are a trusted customer who have been with us for long; we can give you a free sim card sir.
Me: ( GRRR ) We do not require one thank you.
Fe: Are you sure sir? We are giveing it for free!
Me: ( Resisting temptation to shout ) Oh wow! But we do not need it as of now. I will call you whenever I am in need of one.
Fe: Ok sir. Thankyou very much! Have a nice day!
Me: Thanks. Bye!
So, basically after that call I didn't even think for a second I would call back to apologize Ms. Nafees ( or whoever it was ). It was a first showering-sarcasm-over-the-phone and it was funny :D. I have learnt one thing though.
Being rude doesn't fetch anything : neither peace of mind nor an extra sim card.
And thanks to IDEA, I have my first post of the summer :)
