Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

My favorite call center experience was me, three of my friends, and my youth group leader calling some company and being sent to voicemail because it was after hours. He kept calling back, trying to get a real person but it was just the same "for customer support, press 1" bullshit.

Our leader started talking smack about the company while navigating the option tree of pre-recorded options and a janitor picked up the phone and revealed that all calls are broadcasted into the office, even before you reach the point where you actually leave a recorded message. Because the janitor was the only one there, he could hear our leader badmouthing the company from across the room.

I was given some advice a while back to always keep your phone on mute when going through the keypad directory. Many countries don't have many restrictions on recording calls so companies record everything that is permissible.

There's no way this happened.
