A long time ago, I used to work for Gateway 2000 phone support. The poor fucks on the other end had been on hold an hour before they ever got to one of us, and usually pissed before they ever picked up the phone.

On our end, we had some omnipotent 20 year old who thought they were god telling us "You HAVE to complete the call in 15 minutes or less...."

This is when people were running win95 on 486-33's... You can't hardly boot those fuckers into safe mode in 15 minutes.

About one in 20 was beligerant. After they screamed a while, and once I'd reached the "numb to that bullshit" stage, when they started screaming at us we'd go ahead and transfer them to "Mr. Tone" Dial that is...

I always wonder how many gateways got the shit beat out of them a few minutes after that.

I moved on after a few months. But my attitude towards screamers has been changed forever.

I *never* call tech support now either.
