So one of my many jobs, is to answer a hotline on our vehicles.


Company I work for is actually based out of Japan. Happens to employ THOUSANDS of americans.
I have this woman today...


She called the line, and cursed me out. Asking why "our drivers we're driving around in America in Jap junk".

    Point is, why on earth would somebody call a hotline and cuss some woman out because a JAPANESE business was driving Japanese cars?

    I have often wondered the same thing. Seems people feel more and more entitled these days and if things don't go their way, they act like fools.

    True story I shall share with you. This very educated looking black girl that I have never met in my life randomly walked up to me and went "you look black but you aint. You is arab" (I'm neither for the curious minds).

    I just said "you look educated but you aint. You is stupid"

    Point: people will always find ways to say dumb things

    GM vehicles are made in Canada and Mexico but get to say they're made in America because of NAFTA.

    I see certificates of origin for GM vehicles all the time. Mostly made in Mexico.

    People can be downright obnoxious and rude. After waitressing for 6 years I can attest to this fact. Everyone should be forced to work in customer service for at least a month to understand why being an a-hole to a complete stranger trying to help you is WRONG.

    I blame India. Any time I have to call a customer care hotline...I am automatically pissed off because I think I'm going to get some freaking call center in India. I am getting pissed off now as I type on this muthafuggin piece of crap keyboard. FACK!!!!!!

    Well, I happen to drive a mitsubishi car. It is well built and I enjoy it. Mitsubishi have been making quality vehicles since the 1930's (they were airplanes at the time... and used against the USA in the 1940's... but still...)

    It's funny to me how most of the "foreign" cars are more made in America than most "American" cars

    I'd never in my life say anything like what she said. I'm sorry.. who are you?
    I felt it interesting how rude and ignorant people are, and somehow I'm in the wrong. Pretty sure anybody who knows me on here, knows that isn't how I feel.
    Sheesh.
