Calls from Simpsons

Calls from Simpsons

By Ahmed Hosseiny, May 5, 2014

Attention please! Let’s have a break and think how interesting our job is! It is worth-reading.

It all started since we’ve got our place and dealt with the Egyptian Market. We pass through many “Comedian” situations because of the nature of our field which seems incomprehensible to many people. Thanks to the revolution that helped in increasing the level of technological awareness and it was beneficial for us too. However, here we are in 2014 and many situations happen as if we deal with “Simpsons”. It is not as funny as it seems, but it is somehow shocking.

* Below are the latest situations in 2014:

Conversation (1):

Me: Hello, how may I help you?

Customer: If you please, I want to set up an internet connection,

Me: we create for you an online website for your company.
