I haven’t laughed so hard in yonks! Pluddy marvelous. Anyone (which means everyone in NZ) who has ever suffered at the hands of Vodafone or Telecom needs to watch this! Customer Service at it’s best.
Terribly hilarious.
(Last week I tried to get an existing telephone reconnected to a bach in the Sounds. It has no street address so the Telco said “No address. No phone.”
“But the phone is there and its number was xxxxx.”
“Sorry sir. No address. No phone.”
I kept a tally of the 9 customer reps I repeated my problem to and not one of them was able to reconnect! Even though 8 other baches in the bay have phones and last year we had had one!)
Well you are all geniuses. I studied German for years and I still have no idea wht the he’ll they were doing apart from inflicting pain on some poor schmo who doesn’t make the rules.
JC: My tame household PhD (German Literature) assures me that they aren’t speaking German – probably Flemish.

Your captions in English appear to be uncannily like Flemish

And let us not forget that Telstra has joined the ranks of poor customer service.

It might have be funny if they’d had the boss of Mobistar on the phone.

Yeah, not the poor sap near the bottom of the food chain.
