1-800-...-....

Have you ever wondered why it takes so long to get help when calling a help line?
Well, wonder no more because this is where you calls are being routed!
Please note that this example is not even the extreme!

I've seen photos like this before... but to know someone who's actually been there in person puts a whole new spin on it!

Oh my I had no idea just how many telephone lines are needed to keep up with the demand! Thanks for sharing:)

Oh dear! We use Dell computers and I know their help line is in India...no wonder there's a horrible delay and the sound quality is awful!

MG said...

Wow! I can't even imagine how unsafe that looks!

That is such a shocking picture. I really don't even know what reaction to have; it's hard to believe that's real.

I believe it!!
Once I called an 800 for assistance and got someone in India, it was probably that guy crossing the street! Ugh, it was frustrating.
Thank you for posting the pictures. I needed the visual. :-)

Susan said...

Oh this makes perfect sense to me now. I couldn't firgure out why when I tried to make a call to my credit card company I was constantly talking to someone that sounded like they came from India. Uh hmmmm that's because they do.
