Head Exploder .... I just got a call from ATT mangement

[Botany]

I had called early about NSA spying and a person said they would get back with me.
I have a business line.

ATT "Hello is Tom There."
Me "Yes that is me."
ATT "Well, I am getting back in touch with you about your concerns."
Me "Thank you is has to do with ATT turning over my or anybody else's
records to the NSA."
ATT "What is this NSA?"
Me "So you don't know about the turning over of phone records?"
ATT "No."
Me "Forget it."

9. It was a women

She was way up in the company .... she really seemed dumb funded.

[magellan]

3. Was that call from India?

Or are they just that DUMB?

16. That's what I was thinking. If the jobs have been outsourced

(and I know Eartlink works through the Phillipines), maybe the person Botany spoke to is really clueless.

4. Simpsons funny line: "What's a 'truck' "?

Said by mobster to cop or lawyer (I forget which) when asked about committing some crime involving driving a truck.

When you got nuthin', just lie straight to their face - perfect republican SOP

EDIT: Typo in subject.

5. That Doesn't Surprise Me Actually.

I would only expect real higher ups to know the details of a super secret NSA program. I wouldn't think anyone on the customer service end would know a thing. This is from a far higher corporate office than that.

[lonestarnot]

8. Nor would I.

12. yeah they don't know what the news is!

and they don't care as long as they have their SUV with gasoline in it. And that too will change!

These people don't know a damn thing and they aren't encouraged to know a damn thing either!

FOOLS! All of them!

:kick:

17. No Idea What You're Talking About.

[One_Life_To_Give]

13. I bet the brass don't know anything

The information is probably only known by the geekier tech types out in the switch rooms.

[Rainscents]

7. This is what they were told to say!

Dump the lying baster!!!

[Agony]

15. This isn't a HeadExploder that would be if

They had said "We're sorry we were doing that, sir! Would you like to opt out of our "Tap Tap Tap-a-roo" calling plan?"

[shance]

18. They are being instructed probably so plead ignorance. They know.
