Stupid Student

I am super angry now, i haven't been blogging for so long, but now i feel i must.

I just had a super unhappy conversation with this student from the mar*keting insti*tute of Singapore. In the midst of all my work, this student called thinking that i am suppose to help her with her school project......she's really rude.

Here's what happened:

*phone rings*
Me: Hello
Student: Hello i'm xx calling from the mar*keting insti*tute of Singapore
Me: uh huh....
Student: Our teacher gave me a project that is related to hyu*ndai. The question is "if you are the marketing communication manager of hyu*dai, what would you do to promote ..." (she freakin read the question for me)
Me: ok....so?
Student: I am at your website and *laughs* it doesn't really have a lot of info. (you call me to tell me that my website is not informative for you?)
Me: (stunt...speechless)
Student: Our teacher said we can go down to your showroom to gather information, but can you tell me where i can get information like press releases?
Me: Press releases you can get from our global website, there is a link from our website...(before i can continue saying)
Student: I'm at your local website now, can you guide me, guide me to where it is?
Me: (quite frustrated already) I really have no time now (we have 3 huge events happening this month...really no time)
Student: Then can someone else help me?
Me: No, our whole department is very busy
Student: Then do you have a department that is in charge of helping students with enquiries? (WTH! you think this is your school izzit)
Me: No!
Student: Then can i have your name?
Me: Why do you need my name? (like until now then you ask for my name...a bit too late not)
Student: I want to feedback to my teacher that this is the response i get from hyu*ndai. (damn it! you call me i must entertain you ah!)
Me: (super angory already!) ok xx, you called me without any prior notice to ask if i have the time to help you or even talk to you (yada yada) and i really don't see why i MUST help you with YOUR school project.

yada yada yada...asked for my name and email address and wants to send me a request!!!

Then she went: J-a-n-i-c-e
Me: NO. J-a-n-i-s
Student: Oh! hahaha...that's a unique spelling
Me: (TMD...)

yada yada yada...hung up.

And all who knows me will know that i won't let xx just laugh her way outta this.

So...i called the school and made a feedback about their students...and the person asked me for the student's name...so i got no choice but to provide her name...

Good luck xx, hopefully you'll learn that the whole world does not revolve around your school project and that not everyone will be like your teacher answering all your questions at your time and command....

You really should have just said ok and hung up when i told you i'm busy. You could've arrange for another day and time to call...i would've been willing to do that and help you. Too bad now....
