    Please censor crass obscenities such as “g*lly” while online! Some of us had to take a selfie just to see this post because of that recklessness

      There’s already a lot of Scrooby doo porn, both real (as in cosplay) and rule34, and I wouldn’t be surprised if at least sime of it used those words. I’m not gonna look it up though, not my thing.

    Reminds me of the guy that did a really popular ama on reddit because he was a cast member that played Goofy. The ama itself was really wholesome, but if you look at his profile he’s extremely horny on main.

    I hate the wrong use of ø. I’m guessing it’s the same for people using ņ in their language.

      No lie — give me:

      Leave it to beaver, Sesame Street, Live action Dora, Signing Time,

      Not sure if it’s lust, but they have a special place in my awakening.

    When I worked at Geico, we’d say, “Hi thank you for calling Geico, this is *******, your licensed professional. How can I help?”

    One time the southern slipped out, and I just said, “Howd’y this is *****.”, and stopped talking.

    I didn’t even realize it until my boss started laughing at me and played the recording.

      I briefly worked at a small phone repair shop that didn’t see much foot traffic or get many calls, but we also had a mandatory line to say when answering the phone. I don’t remember the line, but it was a little more than “thanks for calling X, how can I help you?”

      Anyway, once I was very tired on shift and got a call, but totally butchered the line, messing it up immediately, then correcting myself with plenty of “uhm” and "sorry, I mean … " added. Eventually I realized there was no recovering, gave up and just stopped talking. After that there was a long silence, followed by the sound of someone laughing their ass off.

      Turns out I was fortunate - it was my then-girlfriend calling, rather than a customer or manager or something. When she stopped laughing she said “do you want to try that again?”

            I’m just bitter because they dont give an option to cancel policy online, they force you to dial a robot and sit on hold if you wanna attempt to cancel with them. so i said fuck that and just removed payment method and let it lapse. but instead they just renewed my policy anyway without asking me, and when there was no payment option they just sent me to fuckin collections! for services never rendered!

              What the fuck, with insurance the customer has the right to cancel at any time. But to be fair all insurance makes in hard cancel. I have call if I want to remove automatic payments.

        They’ll pay for your license and training! I worked in the auto department, and we were licensed in personal lines. Technically, we can sell home, boat, pet, etc… It’s pretty decent. It’s your standard call center environment. Good benefits, decent pay, okay leave, and hours are pretty flexible due to hours of operation. There’s a strict word tree you follow and a series of resources. I worked at corporate, though. I never touched sales or claims. They paid more, but it seemed a lot more soul sucking, IMO. The most stressful thing was dealing with payments.

        If you show a good history of customer service, they’ll probably hire you and pay for your license.

        I’m not sure which department would require that specific license. Casualty was wrapped up pretty well in personal lines, but that’s for CA corporate. In customer service, we mostly helped people get insurance at car dealerships, helped people process payments, and answered questions. Sorry if this is the wrong state. That’s a big thing as well. CA license carries over well for a lot of states.

          Oh well I’m not moving to California, was hoping they had work from home. Because I live Oklahoma and don’t think they have a call center here. Or I would have already worked there. I do have 20 plus years in customer service.
