I was terrorized by people who insisted their items were delivered a day late, two days late, etc.  I remember being able to look up account history, and one of the big arrows on the page was, "So-and-so made this purchase online from a home computer."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Sir, it looks like you selected the 28th of December as the scheduled delivery date with standard shipping..."&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;It didn't make it here before Christmas!  I want my money back!&lt;/span&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;"Sir, you placed this order December 16th.  In order to have had it delivered by the 25th you would have needed to select that date on the shipping page."&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;That said it would've been next day shipping!  It would have cost me $25!  That's more than the ornament is worth!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Yeesh... and the guy couldn't take the time to order this a couple weeks earlier?  Really? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Picture this 20x a day for 2 months straight.  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2619077369752387922-6897018523051232836?l=screwcustomers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://screwcustomers.blogspot.com/feeds/6897018523051232836/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://screwcustomers.blogspot.com/2011/11/telemarketing-terrors.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2619077369752387922/posts/default/6897018523051232836'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2619077369752387922/posts/default/6897018523051232836'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://screwcustomers.blogspot.com/2011/11/telemarketing-terrors.html' title='Telemarketing Terrors'/><author><name>Kevin Lewis</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
