I put him on hold for ten minutes without checking back in with him
I see. What is your job again?
Civil servant. We're not exactly known for our customer service
Which RMer would you never leave on hold: Me, Dev or Jorge?
Also, same people for MFK
Thanks

Gave him an extension on something time sensitive, against my better judgement, with a deadline tomorrow. He replied saying no thanks that’s not enough time. I reminded him he already had multiple days, including the prior weekend. He didn’t like that apparently. This was via text btw if I didn’t say so before

What was the exact phrasing when he called you a bozo? Was he like "whatever, bozo!"

“Good luck bozo”.
Then I wished him the best (lol) and he said “Not likewise, bozo”.
At least he used the comma that time

Yeah crazy huh.
I forgot to say he said not to text him again right before I sent the “We wish you the best reply.” So figured I’d have fun getting a sarcastic response in
