[Phone Rings]
Casey: Good morning, Name of Place I Work.
Asshat: Programming.
C: May I ask what this is in reference to?
A: Tonight's movie.
[At this point, I'd like to say that when people call up for scheduling info, I try and help them out. It takes 30 seconds for me to check the website and tell them what's on.]
C: Tonight's movie is such-and-such.
A: At 8 o'clock?
C: Yes, at 8.
A: What year is that movie?
C: Hold on.
[At this point, I'd like to say that I'm going above and beyond by checking IMDB.]
C: 2003.
A: 2003? Oh okay because my DirectTV guide says 2004, but another thing I have here says 1985...
C: Well, the story is set in 1985, but the movie was made in 2003.
A: Well I'm just wondering why that is, becuase I have things here that say two different things...
C: Hold on one moment.
[I don't need to hear this crap. I have things to do, like post on livejournal. Transferred to the Viewer Services line so he can vent if he wants about the friggin listings.]
( He calls back about THREE MORE TIMES. )
