Some people can't carry a tune, some lack good dancing skills, but so, so, so many lack basic phone rhythm. Just moments ago I took what must've been the thousandth call where someone's phone rhythm is so bad they just constantly steamroll over me and interrupt me to a point where it defeats the purpose of asking me anything. For example:
CUSTOMER: "Hi, I just wanted to know if....because I needed to use my account and I...(lengthy explanation that includes original story, repetition of it 2 or 3 times, summarization of it, and then a summary of that summary)."
ME: "Well, yes you can, as long as you are--"
CUSTOMER: "Because I'm just not sure... (repeats entire story once again after I just started to answer it, and this is no exaggeration)."
ME: I may finally go on to give an explanation but I'll make attempts at answering several other inquiries (or probably the same one again) in the middle of constant interruptions and conversation takeovers.
The call will finally end at some point, and another idiot will get online to do the dance all over again.
