Dearest Provider of Utility Services

[mcroft]

While I find it useful that you provide me with the number of the department to which you are transferring me, in case I get disconnected, I would appreciate it if, in future, the number provided actually connected to the appropriate department instead of to a telephone sex service.

Your Customer

I have had EXACTLY that happen to me as well (and immediately had to go tell the boss in case it popped up on the list of screened numbers!).

I gotta say, that is the most appropriate mood icon to post matching I've seen in a long, long time. That ferret looks like he just accidentally connected to a sex service. :)

I had no idea it was your birthday yesterday. Not sure how I missed that. Happy birthday! And let me know when I get a ride in the new car. :)

but..?

If THEY forwarded you to the sex line number wouldn't the connection be coming from their network? So wouldn't it be billing to them? This could be your lucky day.. free sex. Then again I could be wrong, it's not like I know how telephone sex services work exactly.

Certain surveys have shown that repeat service calls are reduced by an impressive 38% overall when the sex line number is provided as an alternative form of entertainment. Additionally, the need for building a new distribution center in your area has been delayed for two years as a result of the diversion of extraneous utility spending into sex industry coffers. --PSA #271 from your forward-thinking accounting department

Excellent! Can we get the sex line numbers to pay us for referrals?

Maybe this is your utility's not very subtle way of telling you to get fucked?
