Today, I was on the phone with Microsoft Customer Service for about a total of two hours. That's the longest I've ever talked to anybody. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had a long, meaningful telephone conversation. After hanging up, I realized I hadn't had such a great conversation in a long time. Who was it with? The Dell Customer Support guy. FML
Today, while at work, I had to spend an hour and a half on the phone, listening to an old lady relive her entire day in excruciating detail. We're not allowed to hang up on customers, and she was extremely quick to dismiss all my attempts to steer the call back on topic. FML
Today, I was calling my cable company to tell me how to fix my internet. I stayed on hold for almost half an hour, and then when someone finally picked up, my phone died. FML
Today, I waited on hold with an undisclosed government office for nearly two and a half hours, sitting through 45 minutes of Terms and Conditions, only for the clerk to finally answer, say “Hello” once, and then hang up on me before I could even respond. FML
Today, I called an airline's customer service line. Apparently the way that they deal with uncommon problems is by having someone put you on hold for twenty minutes, answer and yell something unintelligible at you, put you back on hold, and repeat. This went on for over an hour. FML
Today, I called my phone company to get some answers about my phone bill. I was okay with being put on hold. In fact, I was on hold for so long, that the music stopped playing. When someone finally answered they told me to call back tomorrow. All my phones disconnected an hour later. FML
Today, I phoned up my bank's customer service department. I waited eleven minutes on hold with the lovely music, and when a woman finally picked up, I ran out of phone credit. FML
Today, I spent half an hour on the phone with four departments at my college due to a mistake on my tuition bill. The last guy I talked to told me to call the financial aid office and hung up before I could respond. That was the first office I called. FML
Today, due to technical problems, I had to call the company's IT-support as my computer went totally haywire. I explained via phone that I couldn't access anything. The support then tried contacting me by e-mail and got upset with me when I didn't answer. FML
Today, after a 16-hour work day, I came home to my husband. I talked to him for about 10 minutes, then realized that he wasn't answering me but had his headset on and was talking on Xbox live. Not even playing a game, just talking. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'll give you my Word, OP. Social life is not something you Excel at. On the bright side, you got Access to their customer service. I'm telling you, no matter how many times I used my customer Power to get to the Point of my problem, they go around the bushes and never answer my questions or solve the problem.

You talk to people?...lucky....

Could be worse, OP. You could be on the phone with Asus costumer service. I had to call them to remove a BIOS password THEY installed, supposedly so nobody screws up their system. Imagine that, it's like buying a car and the salesman saying, "by the way, we welded the radio into place. Don't want to risk you getting hurt trying to change it, now." I've called them 5 times, and it turns out the passwords they gave me didn't work. So now I have to take it to a repair shop. Seriously, **** Asus. Good computers, but horrible technicians over there.

..pull the CMOS battery = BIOS reset?
mrahhhhh 21
We tried that, for some reason it didn't work. We also tried BIOS hackers, password breakers, using passwords provided by Asus, flashing the BIOS, and BIOS recovery discs. Damn things unhackable. The only remaining plan is calling AMI (the BIOS programmer) and getting a password from them. I'll give Asus this: they really, really go the extra mile when they decide on something. Even if that something is stupid.

7 hours with no jokes that sounds like a really boring conversation.

My mom told me before texting that her and her boyfriend would stay on the line while they were sleeping so they woke up to the voice of each other.
