What ??
This is embarrassing to admit, but yes, someone had to call me today about a late payment on a credit card, and if that isn't unsavory enough as is, the man on the other end of the phone had such a thick accent( Indian, I think) that I couldn't understand a word he said. I kind of feel sorry for him, because he ended up having to spell EVERYTHING he said to me. And here's the thing.....I'm a liberal, live and let live, we're all equal,everyone's fabulous....sort of person, but really, when this sort of annoyance happens I start feeling like Archie Bunker.
I'm sure he ( the man on the phone chastizing me) is probably a lovely human being, but I wanted to strangle him........Is that wrong ???

No, it's not wrong. Interestingly, a lot of telemarketing and call center jobs have been outsourced to South Asia and other places. As if Americans themselves wouldn't want a stable job, especially as these don't rely on commissions.
Also, I got over the embarrassment of credit calls a while ago. I get paid more now than I ever have before, but then again, I'm paying all the bills, since my bf is a full-time student. And some of them can be quite pushy. Now, when they ask me if I can make a payment, I answer politely, No, I can't at this time, but thank you for calling. And I hang up.
