Bringing back those funny call center bloopers

I haven't been going online these past few days and it kind of pisses me off because our ISP disconnected my home internet without any notice at all. Well, it's probably my fault since I haven't gotten around to go to their office and inquire how come we don't receive any billing statements from them yet for quite sometime. But anyway, I'll just get to that as soon as I can. Now with that out of the way (ah, what a relief to have let that out...), I have this to share with you, Pinkoy readers.

A friend emailed me ages ago this collection of bloopers and...well, I just wanted to bring them back because they are just sooo funny! Hope you enjoy reading them.
