Another Jim story, this one is a doozy.
Jim is on the phone with a user, I dont remember what her problem was. Jim was about as articulate as Sloth fro mthe goonies, so people would routinely get frustrated with his bullshit command of the english language, hang up on him and call back hoping to get someone literate to help them (typically me). Well, this woman was braveand was trying to walk through things with Jim, and base donhis instructions, was not getting it.
So Jim, in his infinite wisdom, decides to comment on it. he hits what he thinks is the mute button, and proceeds to say, in a loud voice: "This bitch is a fucking moron!"
the problem was not as simple as him just not hitting the mute button.
He hit Speakerphone.
So I hear "Oh great! thak you, that makes me feel wonderful!" from his phone, then nothing. he proceeds to bcomplain some more, then when he goes back to talk to her, she is gone. He didnt hear her response, even though everyone else did, because he was stupid and deaf.
5 minutes later our boss gets a livid call from her boss, and it took 3 days of negotiations on my boss' part, plus an emailed and written apology from dipshit to save his worthless ass.
My shock at how dumb he was was only eclipsed by my shock that he wasnt fired. It felt like santa was executed right in front of me. He was actually at that company 6 months after i was laid off.
