[QUOTE="Harley Rider, post: 4904010, member: 10872"] Had a supervisor training me on my first phone exchange. We ring the bell and an older woman comes to the door. He tells her we have her new phone and we need her old one. She informs him that her old one is still hooked up and it is her only phone in the house. He asks her “ You want this phone or want us to send it back?” She says she wants the new phone but that would put her without a phone till the phone company got there to hook it up. ( this was back before plug and play. All phones were hard wired) Supervisor proceeds to pull out his pocket knife and cuts the cord on the old phone. Hands her the new phone and we are out the door while she stands there with her mouth open. This was my second day on the job. I remember thinking “ What in the heck have I gotten myself into” [/QUOTE]
