[QUOTE="DamienCasanova, post: 1053234, member: 9694"] Anytime you're trying to pick-up a chick it's because you need something too, be it sex or companionship or whatever. The game is to persuade the other person to give you what you want so that you're both happy about the outcome. Customer service reps should be even easier to game, since they are being paid to listen, deduce what's going on and then provide customer service to you and give you what you want as well. Perhaps it is a false equivalency because it's more like a canned hunt than an actual approach, you're talking to a woman paid to serve you, so you've got a captive audience and all you have to do is be polite. I think it's a crucial game lesson, and a chance to asses your own mental state when talking to anyone in the world, you have the choice to go into the conversation like an asshole and be rude, or you can check yourself and approach the convo with some finesse. I've gotten pissed off and cussed out my share of customer service reps as well, but i've found you're usually better off swallowing your anger and not lashing out at someone on the other end of the line. As the old saying goes... you catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar. [/QUOTE]
